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
Hey! Many thanks. I had forgotten the origins.
I’ve done 17 of those 20 things.
The only one that might still lie before me is the last.
The one I miss the most is conning a ship.
