Its quite easy to note that most successful people are those who dont follow such a policy.You might ask how do you define "successful people"? Well I ll keep that to another day, for the present let it be any (sane) definition u wanna put.Coming back to the statement I made at the b

K, given chance to spend a week with a mathematician or a Jack, whom would u prefer? Here when I mean mathematician I mean he is only and only a mathematician and has no other dimension. K you might say all mathematicians are geeks and you dont want to spend a week with a geek (well who would want to!!). K wht if he/she is a specialist in say birds or politics or philanthropy or astrology or sports or romance? Hmmm... lets see if its the last one i dont think many of us would mind, but wht if I extend the week to a year or two thn? Surely most (believing that insane people do exist in this world :P ) would by far prefer a person who is good at all of these but is not a master in any. And why is the answer so? Simply because that person will have a lot more things to talk of and will not bore you to death on some particular topic.
The point I m trying to make is why, WHY one should be envious of people who are 'studs' in doing some particular thing? All each one of us should be really bothered is-are we good at a good number of things? Can each one of us call oneself a "Jack of all trades" for a set of things in which one's good and comfortable.If u can do well in 2 things say sports like playing table tennis and some acad like chemistry and ur much coveted friend is a god in physics; well let him/her be. You should feel that ur a much capable person overall than him/her but also one shouldnt forget to respect ur friends 'god'ness.
But in the end individual perspective is all that should matter, so if u still feel being a god only will give you satisfaction then go ahead; but if there's anyone out there who feels being a Jack is much better, then I m with u dude...
