“Robert Heinlein said specialization is for insects. Be as much of a renaissance man as possible.”

I stumbled up on this on David Wenger’s Entrepreneurship blog: http://iduniversity.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/skyler-kanegis-life-of-a-young-entrepreneur/

Focus is key. When i was preparing for the Olympics (92-96), I kept my life lean and clean to create the proper “context” necessary to focus.

thanks for your comment. I’ve actually never considered myself a “renaissance man”, but more with someone having lots of interests! ;) Having such a profile sometimes makes it more difficult to gain a substantial competitive advantage, on an individual basis. It becomes important to find you’re right place in the professional world.

Thanks for sharing.
