This relates to an issue that I personally struggle with. The issue is that I am interested in a number of different fields, mainly business, software, and writing (and politics, somewhat). I find the most inspiring achievement is that of the polymath and I aspire to someday be worthy of that label. The issue is that in a world of six billion people and innumerable domains of knowledge, it is difficult to achieve true expertise in even a single field. Laser-like focus on a single skill, as described in the Pyramid Method, offers the potential of becoming amazing at that skill to the likely exclusion of any others. My dilemma is therefore whether or not I ought to try to become an exceptional software developer or businessperson or writer, or whether it's okay to just be pretty good at all of those things and never achieve major recognition for any of them. How possible is it to actually become a Renaissance Man these days?
