I don’t think much of a man

who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

omprehensive education dissolves the line between know-
ing too much and knowing too little on a variety of
subjects—subjects that are necessary for success. I was reminded
of this recently when I interviewed a young man who was very
well versed in his field of expertise and almost uneducated in every
other subject that was brought up. It was like he had tunnel vi-
sion, and although I admired his knowledge of his field, I had to
realize that, considering the scope of my enterprises, he might not
be a great fit because of his limited interests. This gave me the
idea for this article, and I think it’s something all of you should
consider as you are furthering your education and/or entering
your careers.
