Manage your many talents

We are experiencing a new wave of entertainers who are multidimensional and multitalented. They are so skilled and make what they do look very easy. Some of them are talented and very interesting and have a refreshed take on the jobs they handle.In this day and age we have models that double as radio presenters, MC's, video directors, actors and dancers all under one roof. They are the people whom everyone runs to for almost every event. Some of them have become household names and are even respected for their handiwork. We can see that there is professional development in being a jack of all trades. The fact that many entertainers or those in the entertainment industry have many talents puts them on a competitive edge over their peers in the industry. They can do a variety of things without difficulty and are very expandable.As a multi-talented person you have a choice. Possessing numerous interests and essentially being capable of selecting one or more to follow is a luxury. Many generations before us didn't have a choice. Although it can be a burden for many people the jack of all trades have mastered the art of doing numerous things at once and some are even excelling in their careers. It is definitely a bonus but for some people it can also be a burn out. The pressure is too much and the cracks start to show. I understand a few people have taken full advantage of their talents but many have also become victims to their many talents. There are singers who are MC's and their masters of ceremony careers overshadow their singing careers. Sometimes even the public is confused about what some people are doing because they are involved in everything.People have a very short attention span and some entertainers have long been forgotten because they have involved themselves in way too many things. You become so popular it is very annoying for some people and then they eventually move on from you because they have been over exposed to your personalities already. Being multifaceted is not wrong but you need to manage the kind of things you are going to involve yourself in. Many people are in a rush to achieve success and they crash and burn because they are too impatient and can't wait to build their careers, before taking on new challenges.We can only appreciate you on your journey and will certainly applaud many of the multi-talented individuals, but they also need to keep in mind that having many talents comes with the good and the bad.June Shimuoshili june@namibiansun.com
