Learning something new can become a highly time-consuming and demanding task, even more so when the knowledge you want to master has a high degree of usefulness or benefit. Becoming a professional in any field, a scientist, or a specialist requires the practice and study for long periods of time of a large amount of documentary material that is continually evolving and adapting to reality.
For example, in the case of doctors, they go through a long period of preparation in which they must master and learn a certain amount of basic knowledge of their field, which is already proven and accepted. After having approved their training, doctors continue to learn and experience new events under an infinite number of variables that are combined in the exercise of their work. All of these countless possible events test to the maximum the preparation that these professionals had. Although the cases and the way in which the medical demands are presented are infinite, the fundamental preparation of the doctors helps them to assimilate each situation with an already known one, and from there to make the corresponding evaluations for the correct action.
The value of things can be very subjective, but there are elements and aspects that are valuable to everyone. Generally speaking, what is most useful to us is the most valuable thing; this also applies to knowledge. The knowledge of doctors is very valuable because it is very useful in health situations, but that knowledge only focuses on one aspect of life. The ideal of a knowledge of high value, is the mastery of knowledge about the most relevant areas of life, these areas will vary according to the condition of each person, but the principle will always be the same. It is more convenient in the long run to know enough about everything than to know a lot about something particular.
There are countless things that can be learned, and there are also countless ways to acquire knowledge, and thanks to these two facts anyone is able to learn a knowledge or master a useful skill that allows him to obtain sufficient resources to sustain his life. But as always, the direction of one's destiny depends on the interests of each person.
