Are you a dilettante?

You may be asking, "Am I a dilettante?" I know I certainly am one. I noticed this more and more as I have gotten older. A friend of mine in college who is now a real estate analyst once referred to me as a "Modern-day Renaissance man." Renaissance men were ground-breakers in their many fields, but a dilettante is most certainly not that. Here is a quick rundown of my many areas of passing expertise...
A/V Home theater
Video Games
Interior Design
Financial Markets/Stock Picking
Clothes and fashion
Computers, networking (this blogging thing is new to me)
Photography
Ladies' fashions
Buddhism
Cars
Beer
Food and cooking
Fine watches
music, and hip hop production
and the list goes on....

Basically what goes on is like this - I can talk to anyone who is a specialist in any field, or example, a coworker may be better than me in our shared responsibilities, but I guarantee they don't know more than me in another subject - like cooking... I'm positive I'm a better cook than any of my coworkers. However, I'm not a better cook than Bobby Flay, but I do know more about Hip Hop and financial markets then he does.
You may be saying, "Who cares if you know more about something than someone else. Isn't that just a cop out to make yourself feel better for your own shortcomings and being less successful?" Which brings me to my next point - and the kernel of the curse - which I'll address sometime - sometime soon - but who knows!
