SPECIALIZATION IS FOR INSECTS

The Character Formerly Known As The Loose Forward sent this in, with the comment, “Too beautiful! Remember this guy? His name was on text books at school!”

 

‘A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.’

-Robert A. Heinlein

 

Nice.
