托福作文 TOPIC: Do you agree or disagree with the following statements? Because people are busy doing so many different things, they do very few things well. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

I agree that people are busy doing so many different things so that they do very few things well. I hold this point of view for three reasons.

First, our energy, like a battery, is limited. Once you focused on one thing, you had better fix your attention on it. This is the best and only way you can get something down successfully. Take me and a good friend of mine as an example. We have both participated in the Chinese Judicial Examination of 2018, and I passed the exam while he was not. Though he always got higher scores in almost every subjects when we were at law school, he scored more than 20 points lower than me, which made him fail in the the Chinese Judicial Examination. I think the major reason lies in that he was preparing the National Graduate Entry Exam at the same time. Maybe the past experience made he become too proud that he thought he can pass the two major exam at the same year, which both need enormous preparation. At the end of 2018, he did not pass any of the two exams, which made him suffered a lot. One thing I learn from him is that no matter how clever you are, you still have to focus on one thing to make it success.

Second, I strongly believe that if you want to get happiness in your life, you do not need to do many things, on the contrary, you just need to do well in several things which are truly important for your life. As an old saying goes “less in more”, the more you want, the more you do, the less you will get at the end of your life. Take money as an example, everybody wants more money, so they try to think about as many ways to make money as possible. Eventually, they may not really make money in any of their business, because they do not make themselves an expert in any business.
