Is it better to know alot about one thing or a little about everything?

Question:Knowing a lot about one thing entails knowing a little bit about everything. Fields of knowledge are not isolated - they overlap.

To gain a full and complete knowledge of chemistry, you have to learn some physics and will inevitably know some biology. You will also absorb some law and ethics, a smattering of ecology, and some insight into dyes and fabrics you can bring into the world of fashion. And so on and so on to places you might not even imagine when you start.

Exactly how little you know about other things depends on how narrow your focus is in the thing you know about and how determined you are at shutting them out. But there is always at least a little spill-over.

If you know a little about everything, then you are like the rest of us. If you know a lot about one thing, then you are a master.

a lot about everything sounds cool

Knowing alot about of one thing, your unknowledgable on other topics.

Knowing little of everything, at least you have some bit of information to contribute to the topic.

a little about everything that way you can carry on a conversation with anyone

It's way better to know a little about everything, just knowing a lot about one thing excludes you from 99% of conversations.

this is no matter about knowing but the need is important we need something so need information.

knowing a lot about one thing can made an expert
knowing a little about everything is just an informal person
but knowing a lot about one thing and knowing a little about everything will made a great things

You let yourself be drenched with information around you but concentrate on one one thing you are passionate about , you think it would take you places .

it's better to know people who know alot about 1 thing, then you can just call them and ask them when you need to know something in particular

a little about everything, that way you are well rounded, and not really smart in one area, but stupid about everything else.
