“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, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

—Robert A. Heinlein

I have done or can do at least 12 of those things. I think my sons who are around age 50 could also count at least 12. I’ll have to ask about the grandchildren, 3 of whom are 17 or older.
