Comments on: T-Shaped People http://blog.bryanbibat.net/2009/09/19/t-shaped-people/ With kindness comes naïveté. Courage becomes foolhardiness. And dedication has no reward.

More experience, even thought it’s not related to his engineering degree, will really help him later in life.

I read your post on the 80/20 principle too. Might turn out to be a good principle to live by. I’m actually graduating next month. :p

Don't worry if you can't squeeze it in this year because of thesis work, you can still find ways to cultivate that aspect after graduation and/or in your first job. As for time constraints as a whole, it's all a matter of time management. Think <a href="http://blog.bryanbibat.com/2009/09/03/pareto-principle/" rel="nofollow">80/20 principle</a>: you only need to spend around 30% of your time in studies to succeed in college (most of what you're doing in college isn't applicable in the real world anyway), the remaining 70% can be used to explore other disciplines. Allocating 30-40% of your time to the horizontal bar should leave you with enough time to spare for social life and other things (assuming that they aren't integrated with the horizontal bar in the first place).

Specifically, for a graduating student, which should I cultivate first? I've been zealously expanding my vertical for 2 / 3 years before realizing my naivete. But time constraints won't let a person expand both his horizontal and vertical bar simultaneously and at the same pace. I’m wondering, how much effort should I put into the each bar?
