    Would you rather be especially good at one thing and be known for it or would you want to be well-versed in everything but only have average talent in them?

    I guess as an example, I've learnt 6 languages so far (grew up speaking 3) and aside from English, I struggle with all of them :blobcry: Instead of being fluently bilingual, it was more bye-lingual in my case. :blobflag:

    Which would you rather be and why?

    I imagine knowing the basics of every single skill to be harder than mastering a single one.

    I want to be a master creator of arts. Imagine the possibilities with having the limitless potential to create wonders across the ages. Art could be anything from scribbling to formulating to destroying. If I could master the creation of art, I could automatically have the perks of mastering warfare, literature, R&D, business, and entertainment.

    Master of one, so I can do sth of unusually high value with that. Well, that is for survival purposes, doing sth professionally. Aside from that though, I like taking a peek at different things and learning various skills (if they're interesting lol). So like... 70% master of one, 30% jack of all trades.

    On a side note though, I first read that as "would you rather be a jack of all trades or a master of none" and was like
