I'd prefer to be an expert at storytelling and comic art personally, with a good knowledge of other things,but excelling in a creative area.

I like to have basic knowledge of many subjects, and then specialize in one area.

I would point out that Franklin is well known for his Jack of all Trades work and lifestyle.
But I personally am working toward specialization, though I plan to work a bit of knowledge to conversations on all subjects.

I try to learn all I can, for knowledge is power.

But to get anywhere you need to excel in your field, it's all very well knowing a little of everything, though knowing a lot about one thing gets you somewhere if you want to be an expert.
