It’s such a lovely thought. I don’t think it’s enough anymore in the work world, with a few exceptions (plumbers? carpenters….specific trades…). But everyone should do at least one thing well. :)
No…one thing well, several other connected things very good.
EG: if you’re a web designer: code well enough to schmooze the geeks, know enough about business to understand why the business guys are stressed & know enough about marketing&PR to be able to sit in with their meetings and understand how and what they are promising your designs will do.
Swissmiss is an online garden Tina Roth Eisenberg started in 2005 and has lovingly tended to ever since.
Besides swissmiss, Tina founded and runs TeuxDeux, CreativeMornings and her Brooklyn based co-working community Friends Work Here. (She also started Tattly which was recently adopted by BIC)

Didn’t you just post a video on Essentialism?! You must read the book. One thing IS enough!

A cute b/w poster, but there are too many colors to play, fail and learn in life!
