Specialization...


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 Heinlein

Lately, I have wondered about this Robert Heinlein. My guy loves his work. This is only the second reference I've encountered randomly. Time for me to do some research and reading.

Interesting quote. Interesting blog. Thanks.
