jack of all trade .. master of ONE

a friend of mine forwarded me a piece of "Gyan" as he calls it ..

edited version is as follows

an eagle, rabbit and fish go to a school. each had to excel in 2/3 courses taken, 3 courses were flying, running and swimming. Obviously each could excel in only one and got demotivated.

moral of the story: focus only in what you excel

well in today's scenario we need master one skill for sure but we also need to have a working knowledge of many other things. Its just not that competition is getting tougher but also we as humans are evolving, kids are smarter than their parents, so really cannot stick to old analogies any longer and i feel analogies just restrict your flight, who knows what is the limit for each individual ? Definitions always tend to restrict the wonderer, boundaries tend to curb the possibilities, we need to always stretch the horizon, be thirsty for more and look beyond the obvious.

More people are creating a niche for themselves and that is because they know where their skill lies and second they have ensured they create a demand for the same !

so today according to me the mantra for success is by all means be jack of all trade as it will get you places only after you have mastered ONE..
