For me it is required to be a master of both things like of course you can not have experience if you are not going to try and some people would think it's a waste of their time if they are doing what they know already like repeating their work over and over again. So it should be in a balance.
I think life needs a strategy too, to manage your life to make your family comfortable and well off. I remain principled that for life we need to work. whatever the work is done with pleasure. many people just spend money on his life without thinking of his future. I think to be able to make money from my work and invest, whatever the risks. I should be able to divide my funds as daily necessities and investments. learn and keep learning to manage my life by allocating my income to family needs and investing. because I think I should prepare the needs of my children and my family
