What do you think is best:
1: To know a little about a lot of things
2: To know a lot about a few things
Personally, I think it's important to be somewhere in the middle of the two, but I've talked to a lot of my friends about this issue, and the majority actually prefers to know a little about a lot of things. "Makes for better conversation around the dinner table".
You?
i would say its best to be in the middle to be honest
Hmm...
Your Good Friend Devil Man prefers to know a little about a lot of things.
No point in sitting next to someone who is a Genius in Particle Physics and knows the ins-and-outs of String Theory but does not know a SINGLE THING about how a Beautiful Goddess works! :eek:
So yeah. A little about a lot :thumb:
Both!
Usually I know lots of things about lots of things.... not everything though :(
I know alot about stuff that nobody gives a [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] about, so I'd say it's best to know a little about a lot, but still specialize in something.
I like a mixture of both.
Know a lot about a couple of things but maintain interest in a lot of little things.
I'd rather know a lot about a few things. Maybe I would have some...direction in my life, then. Know what I should DO.
I like to be in the middle.

perhaps between. it's not fun to have all that knowledge when there is no one to care about it. but it did help me out today when i saw a dance score about Hua Mulan and pointed out that there were not supposed to be Manchurian soldiers on the stage. my mom was quite impressed.
The man that knows something knows that he knows nothing at all. :eep:
Seriously? I'd rather know a lot about a few things, but still be open minded enough to try and learn more about the stuff I don't know about from those that do know about it.
It's important to have an area of expertise in order to give informed, professional analysis about, but it's just as important to have a well-rounded worldview that you can interject into general discussion. High education nurtures the former, while experience feeds the latter.
In the middle... I guess I want know a lot about certain things, but I also need to know a lot about many things.
I'd rather know a lot about a few things, because the other option would make me (effectively) a woman of everything and really nothing at all. =___=
No. I just said that to sound cool and wise.
I like a mixture of both! :jess:
I know a little bit about a lot of things but I don't know a lot about anything.
Trust me it sucks...
I'd like to know a lot about a couple of things and a little bit about a lot of things.
Seeing as both isnt an option I'd rather know a little about a lot of things.
I think it's pretty feasable to learn a lot about one subject and a decent amount about a handful of other things. I think this is probably the best way to go.
If I had to choose I'd say knowing a little about a lot of things is better than being super in one area and completely ignorant in others.
I prefer to know everything about at least 2 things and then know a little of everything else. Like to know what concern my work really good, also know few things here and there. That'll add some advantages to my education.
I prefer something in the middle. You know, knowing more about something you're specialised in, and knowing a bit about all kinds of general things so that you can manage well in many different situations.
A mixture of both. :p
3. To know everything about everything. :cool:
I know a little about many things, but I have a couple of fields where I know a lot more than most people.
