There's always a debate about which one is better, Generalist or Specialist. Well, most of you certainly think that Specialist is the best option. I agree but me myself as Generalist can tell you how fun is to be a Generalist.

Have you heard the famous quote, "Jack of all trades"? There is always a person that continue the quotes like this : "Jack of all trades but master of none". I think i can prove this statement wrong!

The Eureka!

I know every people in this world is different, but in my opinion to be a generalist is the most fun thing ever. When you learn something new often, there's always be a moment of eureka! Like, the different vibe of excitement when you get a point that you don't understand. Do you feel the same? When you just delve one field, I know this is good 'cause that means you are fully understand what've you learnt. But sometimes it can be boring tho right? So i am in person always to learn something new if I already get bored.

The Full Quote

You know what? People often just cut a part of quotes, like "Jack of all trades master of none". In fact, the full quote is "Jack of all trades, master of none but often time better than master of one."

Semi-Generalist

In my opinion, instead we debate which one is better. Why don't we combine? Like you master one of your favorite field, and then as long as you really master it you try different field and that means you specialist in one thing but you generalize in other field. So, it's more cool right?

That's all my opinion for this topics, everyone can have their own thought!
