Jack of all trades, master of none. Is there anything wrong with that?

This is what always bugs me. Is it a bad thing to be a "Jack of all trades"? I find it weird whenever my friends call me that. I think I'm a perfect example of it. I just can't stand when they make a fuss about it. As if it's there's something wrong from being "good" at almost everything!
For me, especially in this day and age, being a "generalist" is no longer a bad thing. You will always have "the edge" among others in terms of jobs, skills, and opportunity for promotion!
Well, in my case, aside from playing the piano, I can also play the guitar, the bass guitar, and the drums. I'm also an ESL teacher, a Customer Service Representative for a BPO company., and A blogger!
To sum this up, I guess we need more "jack of all trades" in our society. But instead of sticking to that phrase, we need to change it to "Jack of all trades, master of all" How's that sound?

I'd rather sum it up as being multi skilled, instead. 
Some people just have a natural talent at a lot of things and there's nothing wrong with that.

I always aim for excellence. I do think that some people are just insecure for whatever reasons. There is nothing wrong to improve or develop our own skills. I had met some friends who are so afraid of changes in life. For me, I love to challenge myself and be a better version of me.

This is only the generalists who make the things and rule the Governments.
