Why Having Multiple Skills is a Good Idea

Did you know that the complete saying was originally “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” Formerly intended as a compliment, the phrase means that a person is a generalist rather than a specialist, versatile and adept at many things.

Too many people, too often, are made to feel reduced for their desire and depth to do much more. I am here telling you: You’ve got one life. Explore all that you like. Be all you want to be. Just remember the success lies not in becoming it all but balancing it all.
