1 . When trying to make a successful career, which is better: being a generalist or a specialist? Inother words, should you generalize and know a little about a lot of things?    1    .

Natasha Olinger, a human resource expert, talks about the benefits of both. She said Generally speaking, the common wisdom is that it's always better to specialize and then you can demand a higher salary.

To explain her idea, linger uses a fairly commons situation-choosing a restaurant     2    .

If you go to a restaurant that only serves sushi, you can expect high quality products, and you also should expect to pay more. If you go to a place that serves sushi, tacos and pizza, the quality of the sushi may not be so great, but the prices will probably be lower.     3    .However, she adds that all is not perfect in the world of the specialist. If there is a drop in economy, a generalist may get more job offers.

Olinger suggests thinking about the size and type of business you would like to work for.    4    .

Also, companies that are just getting started often need people who are able to perform many different tasks. For example, your job description may be that of a graphic designer, but you may also have to do some writing, Larger companies can be just the opposite. They often need specialists-experts in a given field But perhaps the best solution is a mix of generalization and specialization.     5     . The top of the T would be the generalized part. The upright stem of the T would be the deeper understanding of a person's general knowledge-their expertise

D．Olinger says the world of work is not all that different

The hardworking and never-give-up attitude of Malaysian badminton star Lee Chong Wei has won many people’s hearts.

The 36-year-old player is already a veteran of the badminton world. Despite this, he doesn’t want to call it a day. At the moment, nose cancer is keeping him out of the game.

At a press conference earlier this month, Lee said that he hopes to return to badminton next year and to compete in his fifth Olympic Games held in Tokyo in 2020. “It’s going to be tough to fight for the gold medal, but I will try my very best because it’s always my dream,” he said. Although Lee is one of the world’s greatest players, he has never won a badminton world championship. So if health permits, he will continue to compete because he wants an Olympic gold. Besides his great determination, his other drive is his passion for the sport. “One of the most important things in life to him is badminton,” Lee’s coach Misbun Sodik told the New Straits Times.

After two months of cancer treatment that caused eating and sleeping problems, recently Lee began a little training.

Social workers are those who work for the welfare of people who face certain problems in life. They not only struggle for the betterment of individuals, but also for society as a whole. Earlier, social work was considered to be a service done for society by retired people or the rich. It was purely voluntary work done in their spare time, and also just for the purpose of helping others and to get a sense of satisfaction. However, with the appearance of various courses offered by professional social organizations, young people have started looking at it as a serious career choice.

Why is it beneficial to pursue a career in social work? Well, there is a lot more to be expected from it. For example, it is good for your personal growth. When you work in an environment where you get to see the not-so-pleasant aspects of life, you get a reality check and come to appreciate (感激) all that you have in your own life, and then learn to be thankful. What’s more, social work exposes (使接触) you to a lot of cases that require time and crisis (危机) management and almost all social work organizations provide professional training for candidates (人选) who want to join them. Such kind of training prepares you to stay calm and conduct yourself professionally when facing disaster and crisis.

When you read or watch TV, you must have come across stories about animals taking care of each other! Well, if animals can show such great compassion (同情心), we humans definitely can put our fellow creatures before ourselves more often!   And what is a better way to feel more human than to make a positive difference to the lives of others? Making life better for others just proves how human you are!

In order to enter this field, one needs to have excellent organizational and communication skills. It is likely that one will have to work with many people, including children, senior citizens, etc., and will have to learn to deal with them in a patient way. It seems that while working, the individual will meet with a variety of emotional problems that make these people feel sad. Thus, it is important that an individual who desires to follow this career should not only be enthusiastic about helping others, but also be mentally strong.
