JACK is back! Jack of all trades, Master of none.
Posted by Sam Song under Commentary | Tags: 24, Jack Bauer, Jack of all trades, Tony Steward |Leave a Comment
This weekend, FOX brings Jack Bauer back for another season of 24. With it comes the nail biting anticipation of what Jack will do now to save the world,.. for the 7th time. Man, doesn’t he get tired? I’ll just wait for the season to be over and watch the whole season in one 24 hour marathon.
Jack of all trades, Master of None
As I have been proactively thinking about my life and assess what talents and life experiences I obtained, I noticed that I am “A Jack of all trades, Master of None.”
I have skills to do pretty much anything well but not excellent. I can lead a volunteer team, make good money with wedding photography, can shoot a movie on 35mm Arriflex, produce a sunday service, teach, blog, social network, write a business plan, market a product, make a simple website, edit a music video, be a good husband and father, etc… but when I try to think of one thing I am a master at, I really can’t think of anything.
[As I have been writing this and twittering, I came across a tweet from @tonysteward. He posted an entry on his blog that actually talks about this. Check it out here.]
I believe that in everything that we do, we try to hit the mark of excellence. But when we can’t hit it due to budget, time or an unattainable goal, we should still be able to celebrate the “goodness” of the project. It’s o.k to be good.
I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert on blogging or have great grammar skills, but I am trying and it is helping. Will I ever achieve having a “great” blog? Maybe, but I am content with a “good” blog. Could I make my blog great if I become “ruthless” as Tony puts it? I might be able to, but I like all the other things I’m doing and don’t want to give it up.
Especially with the world that is changing so quickly, isn’t it better to be “good” and versatile than “excellent” only in one thing?
Check out this video. It will really show you how fast this world is changing.
Is Jack Bauer a great hero because he is great at one thing or because he is good in a lot of things?
