People tend to forget the original quote. “jack of all trades, master of none is oftentimes better than the master of one”. I think the last part got cropped out over time due to jealousy. People having a sense of envy towards those who are quite talented in many different trades and skills. What I think
No and yes ... this is what jack of all trade does to you, you look to the world from different perspectives both agreeing and disagreeing for multiple reasons all at once and then a another perspective just look at the situation and laugh at the absurdity you might no even an opinion because all is right ... and like what jordan said you dont have a self identity because of this
the reason i came to this video is that im pretty talented and skilled in a lot of things and being 22 y.o trying to discover my path lately this saying been ringing in my head so now seeing the whole saying im really relieved tysm
"If you haven't found your passion then I would say don't wait around until you find the damn thing because you may never find it. Just pick something and focus on it." Hard to accept but true
I get this, 100%. I always had one main job but on the side I took a photography class, a painting class, i cut hair, i fixed the plumbing in my house, learned to do basic work on car, I tinker on the piano. Even though I kept 2 jobs for over a decade each, on the side I was also a cook, security guard where I can go to free concerts and see sporting events, I did marketing that took me to all kinds of fun parties. My side gigs were a way for me to have fun or learn a new skill. But a part of me also really values security. Now at 42 I wish I would have buckled down and maybe got a more stable career. I don't like what I do and I have no idea what I want to do next, sometimes I feel stuck. I never really had a passion for one certain thing. But I also worked for myself long enough to know that I don't like having a boss lol. I think I have to start my own business, but doing what? I'm the queen of starting over, I guess I'll figure it out.
That's the problem. In a modern digital economy where the game is always changing being a ONE TRICK PONY will get you rich but not keep you there. You'll be out outclassed by the one who can learn multiple things on the fly and pivot, like Elon Musk. Many people who were high earners in Detroit factory jobs had a wake up call when their industry collapsed right before retirement and now they had to start from the bottom in some new and completely unrelated industry.
So because you might somehow lose the abbility to do something you focused on, you choose to not focus on any particular thing, basically never excelling at anything? Society and any functional human group is structured with the basis that each individual has a specific job to perform. Instead of being everything at once what's more likely is that you'll be doing the bare minimum at everything.
I have beeen listening to professor peterson for a long time and i always am left with a lot of self analysis and set for better life if I focus on the idea that was discussed but this clip is probably the one life changing video I'll see that left it's mark on me, I have always been creative and I've known that and I've been facing the consequences, I've not been able to actually sort out and organize my interests and put some discipline in my life, which left me with many interests and no results to show,. But now that I think about it i know what my main discipline is, I go to college for it damn it, and I know my other important and fun and necessary discipline /interests that I want to develop. Now I need to only focus and direct and implement discipline in life so that I give more importance to my primary discipline and also somehow give some time to my other disciplines and interests. This is the plan now. I hope I stay on track and discipline only becomes stronger from now on. God help me. Jai shree ram. Jai shree banjrangbali. Om namah shivai. Radhe radhe. Hare krishna. ❤
World doesn't pay well for 90%ilers. But pays hell of a lot for 99%ilers. It's better to be at 99%ilers in one and then maybe 80%ile in rest of the things than being 90%ile in all things

Well i dont know what to pick. I tried everything from playing music instruments and even building a few, photography, automotive, construction, electronics, programming, 3d design/modeling/printing, welding, machinning, singing lol. I cant chose, are you kidding me ? Everyone of those things is my favorite.
I'm pretty good at a lot of things but I'm a very good welder. even though I haven't spent all of my 8 working years so far doing it. Now working at a recycling company doing repair and being a jack of all trades is really handy.

I absolutely love when people bring up the quote because being a tradesperson myself and skilled in multiple things people always bring up this saying. I don't know why we've dropped the end but I absolutely love it.
The thing with us is that we are pretty good and fast learners. So usually when I master one thing I just get bored with it and try to hop onto next thing.

It actually is a positive thing. It goes jack of all trades but master of none is better than a master of one. I don't know why over the course of time we dropped the end of it but it actually is a positive saying.
This was extremely useful for me! I've been "focusing" on so many things at once that are my interests/hobbies. Dancing, drawing, workout, studying useful facts of many subjects(vague I know), languages, etc. If I still haven't fully understood feel free to let me know.
My grandma and great uncle always told me from the time I started working at 14 to not just stick to one job and to try doing diffrent jobs in different industry's or just a different role in one industry. I was young enough that i could try to do diffrent jobs and be able to retain the information (before I started to party and do other stuff that messed with my long and short term memory) and not to stay with the first job i find or one that was easy or if i let my ego and pride tell me that im to good for this one type of job or role or ill never work that kind of job. In a sense because of there views or advice on trying out diffrent jobs i became a jack of all trades master of none, but the none part dosnt apply i wouldn't say I'm a master in each of the jobs and skills I've picked up from diffrent jobs. I don't want to sound over confident or get in my head that I'm amazing at everything but I would say I'm at a reseal journeyman level or just getting to that point some things I'm a master at and other things not so much

I don't think that there is anyone who would wake up one morning and decide they are going to pursue 3 million trades at the same time and then start doing it. I think it's something that happens with time,each trade presenting itself as necessary. For instance if a person wants to build their own house in the future, that chase is then determined by necessity colliding with interest. Besides, there are too many interesting things in this life.
Me can communicate in this vast earth both with have physical and spiritual ,man in action and also a jack of all trades that's it's what they surveyed me my personities by the ocultist but looks like no enhancement no progress and undeveloped ,I think I never did good to help my self.
Everything except for the religious part.. you or I could write a book full of meditative practices and parables and call it a religion... Crazy how that works.. but apparently that is exactly how it does.. yet somehow I still believe in something or someone greater than myself.. entirely too many synchronicities.. go figure.
People are different, some are more structured, naturally disciplined, balanced. But lack creativity and the ability to think outside the box. Jack of all trades are people that are very creative but doesn't have a balance structure, they learn much faster that other people's, but have a difficulty committing in one thing for a long period of time. They are full of curiosity and wonder but they are scattered all over the place. None is better than the other just different and is important to know Yourself and the way to bring out Your potential. And I agree with Jordan the best way for a jack of all trades to grow is by committing to one practice, hobby or something religiously in order to bring balance and structure.
