Making connnections

Here’s a great quote

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, cooperate, 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 A. Heinlein

  1. Some I can do, some I wish I could do (and hope to someday learn), and, honestly, some I have no interest in doing!

    (What at great quote! I really enjoy your blog, John!)
