More Choice, More Freedom

The more choice we have, the freer we are. If we’re a ‘one trick pony’, we repeat the same old act, as we’re a person who knows how to do one thing, and one thing only. We’re not a ‘jack of all trades’.

The phrase, ‘Jack of all trades, master of none’, is often quoted as a derogatory remark to put others down. What a deluded world we live in! They never give the full quotation – do they fear a challenge?

The complete quotation, attributed to William Shakespeare, is, “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”  So this saying, which was originally meant to be a compliment, was turned into an insult.

Beware the world in which we live.
