If you are a generalist, I have a better label for you

I have always been curious, active, enterprising and busy. I don’t know how to be bored and my curiosity has lead me down new paths of discovery.
The three main problems resulting from this were:

• Dispersion: superficially engaging in many activities and never becoming exceptional at anything
• Starting and then not finishing a project, and feeling bad about it
• No prioritization

I have been called a generalist, something I have always found derogatory. Mainly because I was in awe of specialists, who have laser focus and incredible knowledge about a single subject. For example, a good friend of mine is an eye surgeon. He operates using a microscope and restores eyesight to the visually impaired.

Blows my mind.

My interests are wide-ranging and over the years, I have thrown myself into photography, archery, sculpture, 4x4 off-road driving and music, to name just a few.

The fascination that I develop for these new hobbies leads me to read, research and practice a lot. And to go deep.

The duration will vary from a few weeks (beach sailing) to my whole life, on and off (photography).
