Specialization is for insects

“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, co-operate, 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

Another reminder to myself that it’s ok to pursue different interests. To make things yourself even when you could buy or get something “better.” To just follow curiosity for the sake of it… even if there’s no end goal.

Also…

“Having a style is like being in jail.”
