A human being should be able to - Robert A. Heinlein

A human being should be able to...

Robert A. Heinlein

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.

Robert A. Heinlein

(Famous manifesto by science-fiction author Robert A. Heinlein, often cited from his book Time Enough for Love (spoken by the character Lazarus Long)
