Thank you! Here is edited version.
~-------------------------------------------~
Being a programmer, system administrator and IT professional, I always prefer always prefer to do what I do well, but as you might remember a song of AC/DC band - "it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n'roll". I must learn new technologies to be the best and constantly obtain knowledge and new experience. Learning new things is a crucial factor in my profession and it is impossible to survive in IT world if you just stay on the same place. I am forced to try new things and take risks every day.
I am trying to extend my possibilities and make my "inner map" more wider on a regular basis. Technologies change rapidly, some of them die, some of them ARE reborn, and some innovative things appear periodically. Every person connected with IT industry should monitor this process and catch the essential information from it. Moreover, every person in IT world should prove his or her status of highly experienced individual in a specific field. As for me, not long ago, I have successfully passed certification which was connected with network technologies.
On the other hand, trying new things and taking risks is a nuclear part of balanced personality development. Especially in childhood. Do you remember yourselves when you were a child? I am sure that it was a little bit scary and risky to try riding on your bike for the first time, but in the end it was a really enjoyable trip! Anyway, there are always some people who don’t have enough spirit or support in order to make A step forward. This way they lose their chances to live.
In conclusion, I want to say that learning is behavior change. Your experience is what you are. If you want to apply new knowledge on practice, you have to change yourself and cross the borders of your comfort zone. I do things that I do well. Still, I am always learning new things and trying to extend my possibilities, discover new and interesting fields for myself and take some balanced risks.
