This is something that I want to ask you people out there.
I personally am a person of Jack of all trades. I know a lot of things from playing different kinds of sports, doing crafts like baking a needle work, even drawing and also good with computers and programming. I basically could do a lot of stuff with at least satisfactory quality. But Among all of this, there is none that I can do that would clearly define me as a Master. I want to be a "Master of one", to be known for and be famous for, even just one thing.
What are you? and what do you want to be? Share your thoughts, it may enlighten some us.

Being a jack of all trades is easier for me than being a specialist because I hate to stick on doing a single thing. I find it boring. I think the jacks of all trades have higher chance of survival in life than the specialists.

i prefer to be a jack of all trades, its more flexible that way, and i find flexible people more interesting.

I'd rather be a Jack of All Trades. That way, I can do more things. It may not be perfect but it is always better to know more than anyone else. =)
