Robert 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
and die gallantly.

lots of different worlds.
