A short YouTube monologue by Oso Trava reflecting on focus and career decision-making. The speaker argues that excessive focus can be detrimental during exploratory phases, recounts a personal anecdote about prioritizing banking in a master's degree and missing technology opportunities, and advocates for deliberate "purification"—closing doors and making clear strategic choices to seize new opportunities.
Focus is bad. And I've said this recently. When you're starting out, when you're trying different things, in moments of expansion, sometimes it's not so good. For example, it happened to me during my master's degree. I was very focused on being a banker, and I missed the opportunity to realize the opportunities that were around me in the world of technology. So talking to Javier, I think we're both reaching these moments where we've already realized where we want to go and deep down where we want to have this real attraction. That's why we do or return to these moments of purification, getting rid of a little bit of the things that, well, maybe we tried, maybe we tried, maybe they had a little traction. But now with the strategy and full clarity of where we want to go in certain areas, well, we have to make, make decisions, right? Decisions mean cutting. It means closing certain doors. Once we do that, the opportunity is ready to be taken advantage of.
