J'ai une question pour toi.

Is it better to be really good at one thing and not-so-good at another or to just be mediocre in both areas?

well, I suppose it depends on your interpretation of the word "better".

Well there are those that have made a good living being a one trick pony, e.g., Robin Williams who has done the same tired act for years. BTW, Jonathan Winters, whose act Williams stole, did the nutzo routine much better. Williams is a mediocre copy of a comedic genius, Winters.

On the other hand, being a "jack of all trades" like being a utility player on a baseball team, (e.g., catcher/first baseman/outfielder) might earn you a long baseball career.)

Mediocrity is what country hicks call "fair to middlin'." Ho hum. Who wants to be average?
