Yup, takdir menjadi generalis tidaklah mudah, fase awal karir anda akan dipenuhi lika-liku, atau bisa menjadi krisis identitas.
Apalagi dengan melihat dan membandingkan teman-teman anda yang makin hari, terlihat makin sukses dengan skill spesialisasinya masing-masing.
Bagi anda yang generalis, hal itu semakin menjadi beban bagi pikiran.
Just stay calm, be the best at your position right now or your responsibility right now. Karena kita tidak tahu, di kesempatan mana kesuksesan akan melejitkan kita. Atau di takdir mana Allah akan menentukan irisan-irisan skill generalis kita, dimana itu menjadi titik perbedaan kita nantinya.
