jack of all trades – Beltainefaerie's Flights of Fancy

l3monsoda:

I’m so shocked. I have gone my whole life not knowing there was a second part to the saying “Jack of all trades master of none.” I’ve literally used it to be self depreciating because I thought it was suppsed to be a dig on lacking skill, focus, perserverance and dedication. So imagine my shock to find out the second part is “Is oftentimes better than a master of one.” Like what?

My whole life I’ve been lied to. It’s like that moment you learn “Blood is thicker than water.” Is actually “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” But like on steroids. I never used to say or think blood is thicker than water but I used Jack of all trades all the time!!!
