This was sent to me from one of my SEAL buddies currently overseas. Amen.

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.

Great list, even if I can only do about half of them.
Wonderful stuff.
I'll have to work on butchering a hog, conning a ship, and designing a building, but most especially take orders.
