Jack of all trades, master of one

#focus #trades #master #diligence

We've all heard the saying Jack of all trades, master of none. Supposedly, this was attributed to Benjamin Franklin (although some say otherwise); however, the original saying was supposedly jack of all trades, master of one. I read about this in a book, and I don't know if this is actually the true meaning of the saying, but regardless, I think it has a good meaning. As individuals, it is good for us to be well-rounded and be able to do a variety of things. If we are always just flipping from one thing to the next, we truly will be a master of none. I think focusing on fewer things and doing them well is super meaningful and can enable you to actually make a difference in those fields. Being well-rounded is important, and we should all try to learn other things outside our fields, but to actually make a difference, sometimes you do need to focus on specializing in one or a few things and actually do it well. I just thought this was very interesting when I heard this change in the famous saying, and wanted to share it with all of you! :)
