Eric: Tom got the advertising job at the company!!
Jill: That’s amazing!
Maria: Congratulations!
Tom: Thanks guys!
Maria: I’m not sure what kind of job I want.
Eric: I’m sure you’ll figure it out. Sometimes, it takes time.
Maria: You know, Jill is doing something cool these days. She’s starting a blog.
Tom: That’s great, Jill! What is your blog about?
Jill: It compares the different customs of the world.
Tom: That’s interesting.
Jill: Yeah, did you know that in some Asian countries like Japan and Korea, you’re expected to take your shoes off before entering the home?
Tom: Really?
Jill: But in America, we’re expected to keep our shoes on.
Maria: That’s true.
Tom: This sounds really interesting, Jill.
Jill: It’s fun and I get to practice my writing. I just want to master writing.
Maria: Right. Jack of all trades, master of none.
Jill: Huh?
Maria: What do you think it means?
Tom: I have no idea.
Jill: Jack of all trades is someone who can do many things…
Maria: Right. And master of none means you can’t do any of the things really well. So, what would happen if Jill tried to do many different things and write?
Tom: She would be a jack of all trades, master of none.
Jill: But since my passion is writing, I should focus on that and “master” it.
