Re: Do you know a little about a lot of things, or do you know a lot about a few things?

I know all kinds of things. Most of them are useless information, trivia. I know somethings ,that might be helpful in the right circumstances.  I have a good memory ,and that is why I can recall lots of things

I know a little about a lot of things and I know a lot about a few things. Even though this is true, the older I get the more I realize I don't know.

I know a little about a lot of things.  I read constantly, take classes  and have many interests.

I keep learning the same things over and over again. Does that count? I guess I'm a generalist. Read a lot, ask a lot of questions. Just curious in general. Although I was a teacher for a part of my career, most of the time my career didn't  require specialist skills. I have a certification but haven't done much in the area.

A very good question.  I would have to say I know a little about a lot of things.  I owe that to being a good listener and reading all the time.

What's important, I think, is that we all become or already are lifelong learners till our last breaths.

A little about a lot.  I've had the same job for three decades so I do know a lot about that one subject.

I know just enough to be dangerous ( to myself and others!)!

Re: Do you know a little about a lot of things, or do you know a lot about a few things?

I have reached the point where I realise I hardly know anything or anyone. My head is just full of the illusions that I do. How much can we truly know is a question that is always banging around in my head now. Sometimes I feel sad that I actually believed I knew so much about anything and nothing in particular for so long.
