"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher 
a hog, con 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, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, 
program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. 
Specialization is for insects"

Robert A. Heinlein
