    I had a huge realization a few days ago and it unlocked a lot mentally for me.

    It’s okay to not be a master of anything, because by becoming a master you sacrifice your broadness of knowledge. Keep being yourself, enjoy learning new stuff. Forcing myself into trying to be a master of something made me depressed and unhappy with my life.

    You always hear about masters of a domain, but this branch is not fit to everyone and it’s okay. Capitalism and elitism makes it difficult to see that.

      The popular idiom is often shortened, making it seem contrary in meaning, but the full phrase is: A Jack of all trades, and master of none, is oftentimes better than a master of one.
