Specialization

In this day and age, when the population of our planet exceeds 6 billion, it’s almost impossible NOT to rely or depend on other people. Almost everything you can think of doing involves other people.  Being completely self-reliant in 2011 is impossible, but one can still be independent by finding what he or she is good at and pursuing it.  Specialization is what our global economy thrives on, so in order to be successful and independent, one should specialize in the area of one’s choice, and depend on others who specialize in what they’re best at doing. Because no one person can be a master at every single trade they need for survival, this system is the most efficient. Rely on yourself to do what you do best, and rely on others to do what they can do best for you.
