Jack of all trades

pride stumbles us and make us fall (but when we get up, we become a better person).

nothing on its own per se determines how good someone is at his/her job. same goes to labeling ppl as having good character, being a good decision maker or just being plain kind. ppl may pride themselves for being extremely good at sth, but there's more to it than just that.

today how good u are in ur job is measured not just by the dominant skill u need to perform ur job, eg. Making correct diagnosis and planning out proper management for a patient's disease for a doctor. or Designing building structures for an architect. or coming up with scientific breakthrough through research for a scientist.

on the job, management skills and good public relations are also keys that determine success.

a doctor can be given the job of organising say, his department's annual dinner. or a sports carnival. u dont learn how to organise events in medical school curriculum. these skills are acquired through experience. projects u take up here and there before. esp if u want to get ur committee working for u, doing a good job and being happy at doing their jobs. u need to be a people person yet make sure deadlines are met, get best deals at lowest prices etc.

lots of ppl nowadays end up working on a job that's totally unrelated to what they specialised in in their degree programme. but they're happy, adapting and doing well.

a person still has to be an all rounder in the end, to be the ultimate super worker. and i thought the term all rounder was stuck to pri and sec sch days. looks like i was wrong.

which would be better? to be extremely good in sth but lack skills in many areas. or to be a jack of all trades, master of none. ev1 wishes they can be both. perhaps they can. with time. with experience.

i guess it depends on what ur goal is. bcz with diff goals, priorities differ. and no1 is entirely right or wrong in saying what they think is the best choice is or isnt the best choice. :)

speaking of Jack, Pirates of the Carribean 4 is coming soon. :D Captain Jack Sparrow!
