How to use "Jack of all trades" in context?
The phrase "jack of all trades, master of none" is often mistaken for being a proverb. In fact, the phrase is more commonly associated with the medieval Italian painter,Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci was known for being able to do a variety of different things well, but wasn't amazing at any one thing. This is often attributed to his unique combination of skills and abilities, which allowed him to be effective in a wide variety of fields.
While it's nice to be versatile, not being great at anything can be a limitation.
