A Jack of All Trades is A Master of None

"Jack of all trades, master of none, though ofttimes better than master of one."

"Jack of all trades, master of none, though ofttimes better than master of one."

simply not true

why?
this is the full phrase which is more balanced.

yes it is the full phrase but in this time and age specialization is key!! i

So if u have experience in several fields, what can you do?

i don't agree with this
i rather believe:


knowing a bit of everything is better than knowing everything of a bit

You have not fully grasped the meaning of the wisdom.
There is nothing wrong with being knowledgeable in a variety of fields but such a person will not be able to specialize in any of them until and unless he focuses on one .

By the way there was a specific reason why I put this. Let's see if any of you can guess. (It was Um Waraqa who gave me the idea with her one or two word subjects :)....) i

It helped let out some steam, this is a big clue

before trying to figure out the reason behind this

I would like to add..

Is it a must that everyone specializes in a certain field?
In life we have: generalists and specialists

so is it wrong to be a generalist?

In my opinion, it is not a must but is strongly recommended.

Specialization these days may not be achieved except by seeking further education in that specific field
and many people may not afford this

لا يكلف الله نفسا إلا وسعها

لهذا يمكننا أن نقول أن أمر التخصص بالمجالات التي يحتاجها المجتمع المسلم
هو فرض كفاية و ليس فرض عين

بالتأكيد!!!

I cannot.I'll wait anyone else.

I was going to ask the same question



what was the reason?


but we learned from moqawem it's not wrong to say : I don't know

but we learned from moqawem it's not wrong to say : I don't know
and muqawim learned it from Imam Malik

It is wrong to say: I do not know :)
