someone once told me that's it's better to work on things you're already good at, then try to get better at things you're bad at. though i disagree overall (if i'm bad at parking, but good at eating pie, i should try to be better at parking! not perfect my pie-eating!), i'm sure this is mostly applicable to the working world and picking an expertise so you become 'lighting guy!' or 'quicken girl!' and not just a jack-of-all-trades, "i dabble" kind of person. but honestly, i go back and forth on it. it would be awesome to excel in one area. be the best zamboni driver in the county and really know those zambonis inside and out. but there are only so many ice rinks - and then, wouldn't it be cool if you were also a roller derby ref? you tried it once and sucked, but you could work on it.
i don't know where this is going. i know very little about zambonis. i would be a terrible zamboni driver. allow me to distract you with a beautiful picture of some huevos rancheros i inhaled this week. i eat like a king when i'm with mikeyaz.
would you prefer to be REALLY GOOD at one thing? or to diversify your skills and just be proficient in a lot of things? which do you think is more valuable? ideally, i would like to be REALLY GOOD at a wide range of skills. but that's a cheater's answer. answer it for real friends!
