"一つのことをやりすぎて無関係になりたくない。"

The heart of this quote is about staying versatile and avoiding getting stuck in a rut. It's a reminder that doing the same thing over and over can make you stagnant and, eventually, irrelevant. It's about keeping yourself fresh and adaptable.

Historically, this idea has been relevant in many contexts. Think about the industrial revolution. Workers who could only do one task became obsolete as machines took over. More recently, in the fast-paced world of technology, someone who only knows how to code in a single outdated language might find themselves out of a job. The world changes rapidly, and to stay relevant, we need to be able to pivot and learn new things.

Take the example of a freelance graphic designer. Let's call her Sarah. She started her career mastering print design. For a while, that was enough. She was the go-to person for brochures, posters, and business cards. But as the industry shifted towards digital, her work started drying up. Sarah could have clung to print design, perfecting her skills in an area that was becoming less and less in demand. Instead, she took online courses in web design, learned how to create social media graphics, and started dabbling in UI/UX design. She diversified. Because of that, not only did she stay relevant, but she also expanded her client base and income.

If you're considering how to apply this wisdom to your life, start by assessing where you might be putting all your eggs in one basket. Are you focusing too much on one skill, hobby, or job role? Diversify. Take courses in a new area, pick up a hobby that challenges you in different ways, or ask for a different type of project at work. The goal is to stay curious and open to new experiences.

Let me paint a picture for you. Imagine you're an athlete, a sprinter to be exact. You train every day, perfecting your sprint. But what happens if you pull a hamstring? If sprinting is all you know, you could be out for the season — maybe even longer. But if you've also trained in swimming or cycling, you have other avenues to explore while your injury heals. You don't become irrelevant; you adapt and continue to excel in different areas.

This idea isn't just for career or physical training. Think about your social life. If you only hang out with the same group doing the same activities, things can get dull. Introducing new friends or different kinds of gatherings can keep your social life vibrant and exciting. Maybe you always go to the movies with your friends. Try organizing a hiking trip or a game night. New experiences not only keep things fresh but also help you grow as a person.

So, the next time you find yourself doing the same thing day in and day out, take a step back. Ask yourself, "Am I at risk of becoming irrelevant because I'm focusing too much on one thing?" Use that as your cue to shake things up. Learn something new. Try a different approach. You'd be surprised how much it can rejuvenate your enthusiasm and keep you relevant in an ever-changing world.

Staying versatile is not just about survival, but thriving in different facets of life. Keep evolving, and you'll never be irrelevant.
