Jack of all trades but master of none
-
Have you all ever heard of this saying,"Jack of all trade but master of none?"
I have always felt I am like that. I simply excel in nothing. I try to learn new things everytime, I can say that I am pretty adventurous btu I can find nothing that I am really good at, even things that I am really passionate about.
Some of you know I am trying to make a video right now. I am beginning to doubt if I can really do it. I have high expectations of myself and if it is not good, I will be really frank to myself. People said I am too critical. And I tend to compare myself to others too much as well...and sumtimes I am too ambitious. And I dream too much at times.
Does anyone else know what I am talking abt?
i.c.y -
We all feel like this on and off...

Making a video isn't difficult. I didn't really use Adobe Premiere much. I used Ulead MediaStudio extensively in the past.Originally posted by icyprincess:I will try my best but sumtimes I doubt my ability ma..cos I just begin and I am trying to do something quite ambitious..

Specialisation is overrated. Anyway, you will find that the most interesting person are the ones that still don't know what they want to do in life at 40.Originally posted by icyprincess:Have you all ever heard of this saying,"Jack of all trade but master of none?"
