“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, 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, and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” – Robert A. Heinlein

“一个人应该能够换尿布、策划战争、杀猪、开船、设计房子、写十四行诗、平衡帐本、砌墙、接脱臼的骨头、安慰濒临死亡的人、服从命令、发号命令、协同合作、独立行动、解数学方程、分析新问题、铲粪、编程、做美味佳肴、善与拼搏、勇敢地死去。只有昆虫才专业化。” – Robert A. Heinlein

Scott Adams, creator of the popular comic strip Dilbert, has a simple but useful strategy of personal success: you can either choose to hyper-specialize and become the best in the world (top 1%) at doing one very specific thing, or you can try to become very good (top 25%) in as many different areas as possible, which you then can use in combination. The latter strategy is far easier, and is often more effective: by improving your skills in a few different but related areas, you increase your versatility and rarity, making your particular combination of skills more uniquely valuable.
