A Human Being..

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship,design a building, write a sonnett, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying,take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure,program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.Specialization is for insects. --Robert A. Heinlein, The Notebooks of Lazarus Long I am sure he would have appreciated someone who is a jack of all trades and at the same time a master of one.
