I've only done a few jobs in my life, and they were all at the beginning when I was feeling my way around life, before I settled into my current occupation that I've had pretty much all my working years. And I'm still not a master at it.Mattyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13979949404266325705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-29059946372647027432010-11-23T19:03:53.985-08:002010-11-23T19:03:53.985-08:00Hey Kristy, It appears that the majority of us are...Hey Kristy, It appears that the majority of us are pretty much the same here, being a master of nothing is a good thing huh :^)Jimmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11676883070882757501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-87263317115775601202010-11-23T09:05:22.883-08:002010-11-23T09:05:22.883-08:00I tend to think it's better to be good at a lo...I tend to think it's better to be good at a lot of things rather than great at just one... and that's good... because I don't really excel at any one thing either!Kristyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16843060336452856402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-88119633073823122132010-11-23T07:59:25.067-08:002010-11-23T07:59:25.067-08:00Hey John,"--so I'm going to watch DIY on ...Hey John,"--so I'm going to watch DIY on TV and get tired!

I think I do some things well, (cooking, being a grandma, training dogs, writing, gardening, etc.,) but I don't really consider myself a "master", nor do I truly want to be. Being well rounded and continuing our education throughout our lives brings more happiness, I'm pretty sure.Linda Medranohttp://thegoodthebadtheworse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-89135961113408964212010-11-21T07:59:48.489-08:002010-11-21T07:59:48.489-08:00Hey, that describes me perfectly!

It seems like lots of folks reach the age of 45 or so and just give up any interest in learning about new technology, etc. One of the reasons I love to read books is that I'm able to learn so much about history and other cultures without spending a dime.

But I have come to realize with each and every patient I learn something new. I am good at what I do do but there is always a great room for improvement. That is what keeps the job interesting. We have always told our kids to "renaissance" people. Know a little bit about a whole lot of things. That way you always have something to talk about with the variety of people you meet in your lifetime. It is those individuals who have done a bit of this and tried a hand at that who are the most interesting. Mastering one thing is like tunnel vision...you miss a everything else surrounding you.DrSoosiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04445723747109775244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-34916927243579355252010-11-20T20:45:20.448-08:002010-11-20T20:45:20.448-08:00Thank You Betty, People who want to learn are as i...Thank You Betty, People who want to learn are as impressive as those who take time to teach, I so appreciate them both.Jimmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11676883070882757501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-59549507356726393382010-11-20T20:45:08.063-08:002010-11-20T20:45:08.063-08:00Pat, You are so right that so many of our young pe...Pat, You are so right that so many of our young people simply do not want to learn, this only makes me respect the ones that do want to learn a whole lot more.
