Do you ever feel that you're only ever 'good' at things, but not 'amazing' at one thing??.. if that makes sense?

[welshwil]

i asked my mate the same thing a few years ago he has a doctorite and i have two degrees in different subjects, he said he'd rather be a master of something, i said i'd rather know a little bit about everything

[loukr]

I'm really confused see, I feel that I'm only ever good at things, but I'd love to be really good at one thing in particular... but i'm not :(

[RATTER15]

You mean a Jack of all trades and Master of none?

[loukr]

exactly.. didn't know there was a saying to go with it too..

[devilwoman]

yes. i'm good at genaral knowledge, writing, short stories and poetry, not brilliant at anytihing.

[ummmm]

I agree with welsh....I would much prefer to be good at lots of things

[loukr]

but i'm not even good enough to be good at lots of things... i'm just all round rubbish!!!

[welshwil]

if my car broke down in the middle of nowhere, i'd rather know about mechanics than ancient irish history

[loukr]

erm.. me too..!

I don't know a lot about anything at all,but I have a head full of useless information, but when you get to my age you are bound to have picked up snippets of virtually every subject, but remember "Wisdom is knowing how little we know"

[loukr]

I know useless stuff :D

Hey...being multi-talented ain't bad. Besides, a broad spread of skills will always be more saleable than being a one-trick pony. Look at it this way...someone might be brilliant with figures. So they become an accountant and earn a fair bit. If you can work with numbers fairly well but you're also good at formulating ideas, planning in advance, and salemanship, you can start up a business, end up with a corporate empire, retire early and supremely rich and do whatever you feel like.
