Years ago, I worked for a small firm in Abuja; that owner-run kind of business. One day, my boss asked me if I can drive, I couldn’t at the time, and the disappointment was all over his face. Then he said to me, “no skill is ever a waste”.

The general notion when you hear the quote “Jack of all trade…” is that it is wrong to pursue after multiple knowledge area. However, I recently heard the full version of that quote, and it changed everything. It read: “Jack of all trade, Master of none, but often times better than a master of one”.

Friend, in the early years of your career growth, it doesn’t help to know and do only one thing. Desire to know more and be more. It is to your advantage that you broaden your knowledge area. It will pay you with great returns. Cheers.
