The moment when ambiguous talent becomes a weapon
The moment when ambiguous talent becomes a weapon
Description
Book Introduction
“This seems a little better than others… but there’s no use for it.”
God, why did you give me such a useless talent…


According to a survey conducted by People, 7 out of 10 office workers dream of getting a job.
There are over 10 related books published in the past year alone, including 『The Age of the Individual is Coming』, 『The Salary Independence School of a Job-Holding Manager』, and 『Get a Side Job Instead of Quitting Your Job』.


There are many reasons behind this, such as achieving dreams, the difficult life, and changes in social structure, but it is certain that this trend is becoming more positive than negative.
As I feel the world changing, I start to feel negative emotions like, "I might fall behind if I keep doing this," and even though I'm doing well at my current job, I can't shake off this feeling of anxiety.
However, I don't have any talents that can be called abilities, and the talents I do have are trivial and useless in this society.


Above all, I need to transform my ambiguous talent into a talent that people will be curious about.
Yes, that's right.
"When Ambiguous Talents Become Weapons" explains how to transform ordinary, seemingly insignificant talents, fields, and interests into products or content that people respond to and are curious about.
It's about the process of developing an ambiguous talent very easily and powerfully.
This is the key.
What matters is not how excellent it is.
How curious can you make it?
Ambiguity, which people can easily relate to and understand, is the best material for generating curiosity.


"The Moment When Ambiguous Talent Becomes a Weapon" provides a forgotten thrill to those who have given up on doing what they want to do because they think they lack talent; stability and confidence to those who believe in their talent and live doing what they want but lose sleep over an uncertain future; and clear methods for those who wander around not knowing what they like to find and develop what they want.

Into the book
[Find out what I like first]
What data should we be looking for? Should we carry around a notebook, write it down, and ponder day and night, listing every experience we've had? No.
So, should I buy a book on data technology and learn analysis techniques? No, that's not the case.
The answer lies in the mobile devices we carry with us every day.
Ambiguous talent is the intersection of things I know a little better, things I'm a little more interested in, and things I've experienced firsthand in various fields and topics in the world.
Therefore, raw data for finding ambiguous talents should not end with data accumulated within limited areas such as favorite music or favorite movies.
It should be data that can be selected and used in a situation with almost no restrictions, as if entering a search term on a portal site.
Second, the data must be accumulated daily or continuously.

[What's different about New York trash?]
There is an artist and entrepreneur named Justin Gignac who is based in New York.
He picked up trash, put it in a clear cube, signed it, took a picture of it, and sold it online as a work called "Garbage of New York City."
The contents include a Starbucks cup, Broadway tickets, and a bag of snacks.
They also released limited editions featuring trash picked up on special days, such as trash picked up in Times Square at the end of the year, trash picked up at the New York Yankees victory parade, and trash picked up at President Obama's inauguration.
He gave new value to the discarded trash, the story of New York.
Why do people buy these things? How on earth was this even possible? This too can be sufficiently analyzed through the use of ambiguous talents.

[Please do it roughly]
Doing it half-heartedly doesn't mean starting something and then messing around with it.
The dictionary definition of the word 'do it roughly' is contradictory to that.
Doing it roughly means 'getting a rough idea'.
So what does the word "chuseuruda" mean? It means to collect and process work or thoughts.
Simply put, it means to organize and finish.
In other words, doing something roughly means starting something very lightly and completing it without any burden.
Even when reading a book, you don't open a thick book and say, "Okay, I'll read this book today!" and then read a little bit of the beginning and say, "Oh, I can't read this," and then close it.
“I read this book as a hobby, so I’ll read half a page a day without feeling burdened.” Thinking this way and putting it into practice is a rough way to do it.
It is so easy to complete that it feels like effort.
That's roughly what it means.
And the key to doing it roughly is to let go of the force.

[Huh? Who would rent out a perfectly good cafe?]
For those who have decided to close their business or are having difficulties operating despite remaining on their contract, it is more profitable to rent out the space to someone who wants it for a certain amount of money rather than keep the store open when business is not going well.
I'm not saying you should sign a lease contract right away.
However, there is a way to run the cafe you have envisioned for 3 days or even a week with little money.
And through this method, you can experience and learn much more by realizing your own vague talent (cafe + meditation) in various cafes in various commercial districts.
The idea of ​​making money by selling coffee is also possible.
This is also possible with a little bit of a twist.
Rather than making a profit from coffee margins, you can also film or record the entire process of running a cafe and develop it into content.
Content covering 'Cafe Operations as Told by a Designer Who Has Operated Ten Cafes in One Year' is also available.
The title is enough to naturally pique your curiosity and make you think, “Wow, a designer ran ten cafes in one year?”

Publisher's Review
“This seems a little better than others… but there’s no use for it.”
God, why did you give me such a useless talent…


“After working for 3 to 5 years, I became somewhat accustomed to the work itself.
But I always feel an inexplicable emptiness in one corner of my heart.
I have one or two hobbies that I like, but I'm not quite sure if I should call myself a 'geek'.
I want to experience various excitements, but I don't even try because what I have is so mediocre.
“A book for most working men and women around us.”

According to a survey conducted by People, 7 out of 10 office workers dream of getting a job.
There are over 10 related books published in the past year alone, including 『The Age of the Individual is Coming』, 『The Salary Independence School of a Job-Holding Manager』, and 『Get a Side Job Instead of Quitting Your Job』.


There are many reasons behind this, such as achieving dreams, the difficult life, and changes in social structure, but it is certain that this trend is becoming more positive than negative.

The process of transforming ambiguous talents into core competencies

Sang-Hoon Yoon, author of “The Moment When Ambiguous Talent Becomes a Weapon,” says, “There is no talent that cannot be used.”
I just don't think of it as a talent.
Who would have thought that the ability to eat a lot/eat deliciously would become a global noun called 'Mukbang' and generate billions in revenue?
The problem is not doing it.
All these problems lie in not moving.
Is there no way to bring out the small, seemingly worthless talents of individuals?

A seemingly useless ability that can be created right now
Economic and mental freedom!


'A Pretty Good Success Made with Ambiguous Talent'

You may think this is ridiculous, but it makes 100% sense.
Countless people around us are proving this.
It doesn't require much blood, sweat, or even death-defying patience and perseverance.
The point where vague and awkward talents shine is that 'now is an era where anything you do requires less effort.'
We can connect to almost everything at a speed that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.
Talent sharing platforms have translators for rare languages ​​that are hard to find, and even local residents who will catch pests for ten thousand won.
With Street View, you can analyze real estate listings and commercial districts from the comfort of your own home.
What's important is that all these changes have happened rapidly in just a few years.
There are only a few rowers, and the sea is still blue.
It's time to strike out.
It's now.
Now is your chance!

I don't have any qualifications, background, or talent to show off...
Strange things have happened!?


- A large corporation gives 10 million won to an ordinary college student who goes on a personal trip.
- Suddenly, celebrities such as the Vice Chairman of Samsung Electronics and the Mayor of Busan were interviewed.
- I applied for a patent while serving in the military for an assignment that I received a C+ on in college.
- I didn't even have a TOEIC score, but I got hired by another large company after working as an intern there.

Above all, I need to transform my ambiguous talent into a talent that people will be curious about.
Yes, that's right.
