A 'jack of all trades' is someone who has the ability to do lots of different jobs.

A 'one-man band' is a business that consists of just one person.

Sergey

If you 'crack the whip' you make people work hard, often under the threat of punishment.

Sergey

vecttra — 2013-03-13 19:54:32 UTC

What would you prefer to be: a jack of all trades or a master of one?

Sergey

vecttra — 2013-03-13 19:54:56 UTC

Do you know of any local businesses that are small one-man bands?

Sergey

vecttra — 2013-03-13 19:55:30 UTC

Have you ever had a boss or teacher who liked to crack the whip?

I would probably ~~have~~ prefer~~red~~ to be a jack of all trades, ~~not a great experience~~ ~~I have~~ when I'm at home I'm doing several things at the same time

Nastya_Nushtaeva

anastasiya_nush — 2013-03-14 17:34:58 UTC

I have such friends who have small businesses

Nastya_Nushtaeva

anastasiya_nush — 2013-03-14 17:37:35 UTC

so not ~~quite~~ so ~~much~~ many, but I have had such teachers, but it was only good to for me.

I don't see anything bad of in being a jack of all trades. But even if you are, you should be a king of one.

Angelika

2013-03-14 18:36:06 UTC

No. Unfortunately I don't.

Angelika

2013-03-14 18:36:51 UTC

Yes. Today we had ~~lesson~~ class with a really bad teacher. I think all of people who were there hate her. She spoke very softly and nobody could~~n't~~ hear her.

Yana Tkachenko

2013-03-14 19:05:13 UTC

I think that it is better to be ~~the~~ a master of one.Only then you can do you job well.

Yana Tkachenko

2013-03-14 19:07:03 UTC

No,I haven`t any local businesses that are small one-man bands.But soon I hope I will have such kith

Yana Tkachenko

2013-03-14 19:10:54 UTC

Yes,I had a teacher at school who liked to crack the whip! I hate her because of her character! she was a very strange woman,and I think that I ~~have~~ never ~~understand~~ understood her

A.G.

Master of one trade. Because I think this way: If people can do a lot of different jobs they can do nothing like an expert. But of course, it's really cool, when a person knows a lot and has skills to do something special and it could help you in your life splendidly.

A.G.

2013-03-14 20:29:30 UTC

To my shame, I don't know. I think it's quite a job to have all the ~~power~~ responsibilities or do all the work.

A.G.

2013-03-14 20:37:46 UTC

I don't want to answer, but I really think that a teacher, who uses this method in their practice, isn't bad, I think just the opposite. If a teacher isn't indifferent to their students or pupils that means this teacher wants ~~to bring their subject to~~ student to learn this subject ~~knowledge~~.

I used to be a Jack of all trades, and i like my role

Marina Drozdova

2013-03-14 21:46:07 UTC

we always can find such ~~person~~ people in our life

Alex Dolnikova

2013-03-16 13:21:55 UTC

As for me, it would be better to be a master of one. But now I can say that i'm jack of all trades. I suppose it happens because i haven't found my favorite occupation yet.

Alex Dolnikova

2013-03-16 13:31:13 UTC

No, I don't. I think it's hard and i would never ~~create~~ set up such a business.

Alex Dolnikova

2013-03-16 13:34:24 UTC

Yes i have, but it is a very rare phenomenon. When I was studing at school there were only 2 teachers, who liked to crack the whip. and i must say it is paying off.

Yana Kazakova

2013-03-16 18:08:16 UTC

I would prefer to be a jack of all trades, because they can help in any difficult situation

Yana Kazakova

2013-03-16 18:13:40 UTC

I don't know, but I think so business hard to have

Yana Kazakova

2013-03-16 18:26:50 UTC

I think not, but sometimes this method is useful

Sveta

svetik_evtifee1 — 2013-03-17 10:35:23 UTC

I consider myself as a jack of all trades. If I am interested in something I do my best to do it

Sveta

svetik_evtifee1 — 2013-03-17 10:40:24 UTC

I think - no. The smallest business company which I ~~have~~ know, ~~was~~ consisted ~~from~~ of two persons.

Sveta

svetik_evtifee1 — 2013-03-17 10:45:32 UTC

Hm... It is a very interesting question. Is there any dirty trick? In school I had such mathematics teacher. She made pupils work hard, and for me she thought out some punishments when I became ~~to be~~ lazy. I knew that she saw in me some abilities and tried to make me work on all 100 percents, so I never felt angry with her. And now I am very ~~appreciate~~ grateful to her.

Marin

marinaknievskay — 2013-09-14 19:23:21 UTC

My mom's friend, she provides accounting services and works for herself

Marina K.

marinaknievskay — 2013-09-14 19:31:32 UTC

I had such teachers at school and there are more of them at university.

Marina

marinaknievskay — 2013-09-14 19:33:04 UTC

I would prefer to be a jack of all trades. I would know a lot of interesting things.

I know one grocery, "Niam-Niam", near my hostel which looks like one-man band, becouse owner do the job of the accounter, seller and sometimes security simultaneously))

Dotsenko Andrewq

andots — 2013-09-15 18:57:14 UTC

There is "Zaria" mine in my native town Snezhnoe. It has a crack-the-whip boss who makes the whole staff work like "busy bees". Some people cant's stand such pressure. They leave their present work place and have to look for another one.

Andrew Dotsenko

andots — 2013-09-15 19:11:15 UTC

I would like to be the jack of all trades becouse nowadays it is too important to know everything for the young person. In our life there is different situation with different tasks.

So you should find solutuon thanks to your knowleges in different spheres of science to be on the ball.

Alice B.

alice_babatchen — 2013-09-16 20:55:06 UTC

Yes, I know such professor... Sergey

Nicolaevych Polovin usually likes to crack

the whip =)))

Masha Zarezko

zarezko1 — 2014-02-05 16:17:03 UTC

of course I prefer to be a ~~lack~~

jack of all trades because you don't

really know what you might need

in your life.

Masha Zarezko

zarezko1 — 2014-02-05 16:23:30 UTC

Actually I don't know about something like that.

I want to work for myself in a future.

Masha Zarezko

zarezko1 — 2014-02-05 16:29:21 UTC

No I guess I hadn't a teacher who liked to crack the whip.

If I do something it's just my choice. No one can compel me.

knyaginya961 — 2014-03-17 17:53:00 UTC

will always need.

Nikita D.

2014-03-31 18:18:20 UTC

there are areas of out .

Sergey Miheev

2016-03-17 07:58:54 UTC

I would prefer to be a master of one. It is better to do one job well, thean to do many jobs, but badly.

Sergey Miheev

2016-03-17 08:03:28 UTC

I do not know such a business, because it is difficult to do business for one person.

Sergey Miheev

2016-03-17 08:05:59 UTC

Yes, I know people who liked to crack the whip

Alex

2016-03-19 11:36:27 UTC

I would ~~rather~~ prefer to be a jack of all trades. I think that there are a lot of things that we have to be great in, not only a master of one.

Alex

2016-03-19 11:40:09 UTC

I don't know such one-man bands in our town, but I'm sure there are some.
