Specific vs Unique Knowledge

Listening to a podcast from Naval Ravikant, I am thinking about some of the points mentioned regarding people’s quest to be unique. Uniqueness is lost as soon as two people learn to do the same thing. People should work on developing specific knowledge to become irreplaceable.

Scott Adams recommends people to develop 3 skills (the you are naturally good at) and be in the top 25% percentile in each of them. By doing that you develop a combination which makes you exceptionally valuable.

I highly recommend Naval’s podcast to anyone who is looking for some clarity in understanding basic principles of entrepreneurship, finding mentors, co-founders and believe in long term game.

Cheers!
