Friday Filosophy #2016-10

Today in our Friday Filosophy #2016-10, I want to focus on expertise. One of the attributes that I believe is important to follow is “Jack of all trades, Master of none.” You obtain expertise by spending time acquiring the skills and the experience. However, it is important to be a broad based individual with knowledge spanning a lot of disciplines if possible.
