That we say without really thinking what it means. Well I'm working on that. I mean, I say a lot of things without thinking what they mean... and that's not good. But I think that it's time to give "synergy" a closer look.
I am Captain Varied-Interests. I'm an Art Major who's written a screen play and a novel (as I remind everyone constantly, I'm so proud). I also have a passing knowledge of philosophy and religion, a fairly well developed military sense, and a ridiculous amount of History stored in my brain. Throw in the fact I love music enough to own 40.9 days worth of it... and you get the picture.
Now for the longest time, I've let this vex me, you know? I just wished I could focus on one thing.
Now I realize that this variety is my greatest strength. It lets me come at things from so many angles... one of them is bound to work. When my knowledge of Art fails to let me make a perfect composition, I use psychology to better deduce what my audience wants. When I'm writing and I can't think of how something would work, I imagine it like an art work and paint a picture with my words. When I'm playing a freaking game and I need a strategy, I can recall Hitler, Caesar, or Ghengis.
I have to synergize my varied abilities. I have to make them work together. It's hard sometimes, but in other ways it's obvious. I have a rythmic, flowing sense of line in my drawings... and listening to music helps give it direction. As I bring it all together... I'm finding my work improving drastically in quality. Getting better, and better.
In the meantime, I'll just watch what I say.
