Scott Adams 关于 Career 的一些建议，其中的要点是不要尝试做到某个领域的最顶尖（如果有这个能力，也不需要职业规划的建议了），而是在少数几件事上做到 Top Tier（前 25%），然后将它们结合起来成为你的独特能力。
一些基础又百搭的技能（比如沟通、商业、演讲）可以当作其中一或几项进行有意识地提升，然后再加上自己最喜欢做的事就有多项了。
if you want something extraordinary, you have two paths:
- Become the best at one specific thing.
- Become very good (top 25%) at two or more things.
The second strategy is fairly easy. Everyone has at least a few areas in which they could be in the top 25% with some effort. In my case, I can draw better than most people, but I’m hardly an artist. And I’m not any funnier than the average standup comedian who never makes it big, but I’m funnier than most people. The magic is that few people can draw well and write jokes. It’s the combination of the two that makes what I do so rare. And when you add in my business background, suddenly I had a topic that few cartoonists could hope to understand without living it.
At least one of the skills in your mixture should involve communication, either written or verbal. And it could be as simple as learning how to sell more effectively than 75% of the world. That’s one. Now add to that whatever your passion is, and you have two, because that’s the thing you’ll easily put enough energy into to reach the top 25%. If you have an aptitude for a third skill, perhaps business or public speaking, develop that too.
