A person can not easily give self fully to two competing foci of attention. There is a finite amount of time, energy, and emotional resources to be invested. Where they are invested is of ultimate significance. The higher the level of competency which a person seeks to attain in a focal area---the greater will be the need for specialization --- for saying no to complementary interests. Specialization tends to be with respect to modes of coping as well as with respect to subject matters of attention. Specialists thus tend to vest their emotions in people, objects, abstractions, possessions, but not in a balanced mixture of all. Specialists tend to become preoccupied with the techniques appropriate to the focus of their attention---gaining such emotional satisfaction as they may enjoy---only within the chosen special kind of relationships; personal, objective, abstract, or possessive. They do not have time to do otherwise--- because such time as they have to spend---is spent in service of their highest value --- their specialty. Often investments are made with the intent of long term dividends. In such cases the investor does not expect quick returns. People who invest their emotions in objective and abstract relationships usually do not expect a quick return on their investment. Their emotional lives are rather subdued as a result. They are willing to wait for many years to got the thrill of receiving the Nobel Prize, or some other great recognition. Deferred satisfaction is the rule, and they are willing to follow that rule as if it were a major virtue. They look with suspicion upon those who cash in and get quick emotional interest from their emotional investments. The specialist may feel that premature withdrawal of the emotional investment carries with it a penalty---just as is true in the case of premature withdrawal of money invested in a high interest certificate of deposit.
