Polymath: a person of wide knowledge and learning. The art of becoming a polymath is really about maximizing your opportunities in life.

Start-ups like Twitter, Twitch, and Lyft had achieved extraordinary success despite their disregard for “best practices.” In contrast, other startups deemed highly promising often failed, even when they seemed to do everything right.
