Benefits of Multidisciplinary Thinking
[Music]
finding
your own profession it is difficult
because not only do we want to have a
job that we would be good at
and could reach a high career we also
want to feel passionate about it
and finding a job so perfectly suited
for your own needs
well it’s quite fantastic actually
and i have some news for you especially
for
this high the high school students
this is how many of you are going to
fail at the stats
because studies taken every year show
that up to 20
is the average amount of college or
university graduates who stay
that they work in fields are related
with their finnish studies
which means that every fifth high school
student
is going to pick a study program that he
or she is not going to use in the future
it sounds like doesn’t but i didn’t call
it bad news
maybe some of those 20 percent did
change the child because they couldn’t
find
any order and get paid enough but others
simply came up with new possibilities
new opportunities
in other fields and should be perceived
as a failure just because they are
working something
that doesn’t match the education well i
certainly do not think so
i don’t even think that a perfect
profession
exists what i do believe in is a
multi-disciplinary thinking
it is a mindset of acquiring a set of
variants and often different skills
later on combining them together to
achieve
new goals and possibilities that you can
reach with a single skill alone
i believe that this is the future and
with my short story
i would like to share with you of how
i’ve learned about
my story begins when i was six years old
one evening
i ate it’s a kinsey guy in the summer
about white pajamas
looked at my mom with a straight face
and told her
i’m gonna become a doctor when i grew up
of course she just laughed at first
because i was a little kid talking about
medicine
but what started as a joke at first in
the upcoming years
started to look as a reality because my
grades were great
my parents liked the prospect of me
becoming a doctor soon
someday and so did i i thought that well
this is a decent profession
and this is probably going to be my
future until
one faithful day i learned about easter
program called multimedia technologies
this study program was supposed to teach
you many things
but a few of those were animation
editing
filming and other film related skills
until then i was too hung up on the idea
of becoming
a doctor that i couldn’t see that my
true passion wasn’t
medicine it was actually making silly
films like these masterpieces
as you can see i’ve had no sense of
shame back then
but what i did have was passion
passionate
film to edit to create and even act like
a fool every once in a while
just by doing what i feel when
thinking about medicine i didn’t feel
support from everyone around me
i didn’t see a clear and bright future
in front of me
from the career perspective but i also
felt bothered
a lack of interest compared with what i
felt just by thinking about filming
so i decided to listen to my heart and
refuse the prestigious profession
for an unclear whatever so interesting
future
filmmaking and the funny thing exciting
to listen to your heart
is that once you give it a chance it
never stops speaking to you and keeps on
revealing new possibilities
and this is quite fast because to get
into multimedia i required
an informatics exam and until then i
have i wasn’t in computer high
i haven’t done programming at all
but after a few lessons i saw that i’m
quite good at it and after more time
i saw that i couldn’t even pursue a
career in computer science
so let’s take a look at this if i hadn’t
listened to my heart and chosen
filming instead of medicine i would have
never seen that i am
a program but ok now i wanted to do both
i want to study computer science but my
passion for filmmaking was still there
but i couldn’t do both and
even if i could would make sense would
make sense jumping around
doing a bit of everything but never
mastering anything until the end
like people say jack of all trades but a
master of none
i’d say that this is absolutely our
great ground
multidisciplinary thinking has been
around for ages
we can see examples even from the very
early greek philosophers who weren’t
just
who were just existential thinkers but
they were also
mathematicians physicists are not
astronomers the very word
philosophy actually means love of wisdom
love of knowledge
just being interested in everything we
can see examples of
combinations of various different fields
even today
biggest technological achievements are
combinations
of many disciplines from computer
science to
art humanities social sciences and of
course it would be a shame not to
mention the biggest jack of all trades
leonardo berlin he was a painter as well
as a sculptor and an engineer
and even a scientist and his broad
knowledge making
the artist that he was for example by
deepening his knowledge in math he
learned about
geometric proportions that make
paintings modelism to our eyes
another example his interest in human
anatomy
in how we are built he was so fascinated
with
our bodies and even the dissections the
action
of cutting open the human body is just
to study destruction
in the end his knowledge and proportions
in human anatomy combined with his
artistic side
making the artists that he was in the
vlog or that
you probably wouldn’t even have on lisa
as beautiful as she is right now
as leonardo said realize that everything
connects to everything
so when i was in 12th grade i did try to
realize something like that
and came up with the solution i’ve
enrolled in computer science studies
but at the same time decided to work as
a really high
filmmaker and photographer and at first
it was a bit hard but
with a little bit of time planning and
will powered by my motivation for both
of the fields
i managed to learn new skill and also
deepen my knowledge in my existing
skills of photography filmmaking and
didn’t mind design knowledge and
unexpectedly
this combination of design and
programming later on
into my current career path of front-end
programming
which is programming websites
essentially
since then i’ve kept my heart open
finding new passions that came to my
life from such simple things
as taking an extra class in social
sciences or business
or to all extravagant examples like
coming up with the starting idea but
it’s this way of life for everyone
maybe some of you are just
not thinking about becoming
until the end until you become well the
master
if that’s what you really want then of
course go for it uh
don’t get me wrong i’m not trying to
pursue to everything
i am although trying to pursue to do
everything that you are passionate about
and even though people say that you
should find a job you love
and then you will never have to work it
in your life i don’t think that
a specific job so perfect exist
i believe that we could try to achieve
it by doing all the jobs below
that we may not have to work a day in
our lives of course it is easier than
done
and you will face challenges you will
face failures and failure has a tendency
to make you doubt your decisions
question your path
or just others more than yourself
however the only person whose criticism
you should actually care about
is you and the only way for you not to
criticize yourself
is to truly believe in your decisions
which can only be achieved by
truly listening to your heart and doing
whatever it tells you no matter how
difficult i relate together on this
understood but unless your decisions
may seem at first but when you do
your passions will reveal you new
possibilities that you’ve never even
thought of
before thank you
