Polymath

I came across this word the other day, and I loved its meaning.

A polymath is a person with knowledge and expertise in a wide range of subjects, excelling in multiple fields. It comes from Greek words polus (many) and manthanein (to learn). The Renaissance Man.

Ones that come to mind are Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, and of course, Elon Musk. Brilliance that spans across categories.

It’s a concept I come back to a lot. It’s a wonderful thing to specialize, but where can I find range? You are never stuck in one dimension.

A reminder to myself: stay committed to curiosity and wandering. It may yield wonderful outcomes.
