On Specialization

It seems to me people take specialization really seriously. Yeah specialize, it's where the money is. Generally it's how you can efficiently make it as a participant in economic activity nowadays. And if your personal identity hinges heavily on your economic role, specialization can mean a lot more than making a living.

But is it really a must for you to make a life?

Specialization is just a rule (or rather, a popular & less risky strategy) of the game. If you are creative and imaginative and innovative, or lucky, enough to bypass this rule and get to the hilltop that you're aiming, why not? Fix your sight on the hilltop, always, look for different paths, and be careful not to be blinded or cajoled or intimidated by what people think you should agree on.
