I am certainly a Renaissance Man by personality, specializing in just one thing seems not only foolish, but a waste of a good life. There's so much to learn, so much to do, so much to see! Why put on blinders to everything else and pursue something with such dogged single mindedness? I like the quote Acting Like Godot quoted, which sounds like something Leonardo Da Vinci would have said. Da Vinci is considered a historical example of 'world class', yet he excelled in not one, but numerous aspects of life. Not to mention he probably could have cared less about being 'world class'. Not unless it would bemuse him the proper inspiration to build a rocketship
Ask yourself this, before you ask whether any particular title is worth the pursuit for its own sake. What matters more, what people think of you or how your being is progressing? Let titles be a mere byproduct of your love for life. Being famous, world class, an expert or any of those egoic titles won't make you happy! They'll just be another name for people to call you by. Again, another wonderful quote springs to mind, this one from William Shakespeare (who loved to write plays for its own sake, not for fame and to get the Queen's attention). He said, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet".
