Often, we are confused about our goals. We must set our goals because there is only one lifetime. In this lifetime, you cannot lay your hands on everything. One should have a clear objective and start working in that direction. You can take the example of Elon Musk. Earlier in life, he had decided to go to Mars. To fulfill his dream, he needs significant funds, and he has created a lot of profitable businesses to fund his goal. Then he started building SpaceX. He is dedicated to the goal of reaching Mars. He is destined to succeed. Similarly, we need to take inspiration from him.
World-renowned author Edward Murphy in his book ‘The power of the subconscious mind,’ writes about the importance of having a goal and then describes how the subconscious mind works in our favor. When you have a clear goal, you tend to work in that direction. If you are dedicated `to the cause, you will reap the fruit in the end. There is one more thing called mastery in a field. Robert Greene, who has written ‘Mastery,’ says that one must spend a minimum of 16000 hrs. to be a master on anything. Therefore, one must give some time. Now, this is the time of artificial intelligence; robots will take over the redundant tasks. We see the changes already. Earlier, companies maintained a large call center to drowse customer queries. Now, they are having Chatbots for small talk and redundant questions. A human handle only a select few unsolved queries. You can have chatbots on consumer sites such as Amazon & Flipkart.
Moreover, Open AI has developed a new Chat GPT, an enhanced version of chatbots. It can answer some complex queries because it is based on an algorithm called an artificial neural network. It keeps on learning and correcting itself. You can ask any problem, and it will try to answer. It even writes essays & computer codes for you. No matter how powerful they become, they cannot address a super-specific problem in any field. If you become a super-specialist in your field, there is no fear of substitution. Recently, a lot of IT sector employees have lost their jobs due to recession in US. When researching online, I learned that any company initially targets people engaged in redundant work. These people are easily dispensable. Hence, one has to be always one step ahead of time by being super specialist.
