I have this quote on my monitor at work. I have been specialized, and I don’t like it. I am a bug… thing is I have done all but 4 of those tasks listed.
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
― Robert A. Heinlein

I’m going to guess the 4 you haven’t done are design a building, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, and die gallantly. 
J/K I’ve not done everything on that list either, in truth that last one is tough to brag about.

Used to have this taped to my monitor at work, as a reminder that things could always be worse:
“Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.”

Actually, plan an invasion (unless of course computer games count), write a sonnet (but I have done poems and short stories), fight efficiently (because I am not sure I fight efficiently) and gallant in death (not saying I didn’t die, just that death is actually pretty terrifying).

God created man, Samuel Colt made them equal.
I don’t know who coined that first, but equality is a principle, not a fact. I guess you can quote me on that.
