before i die, i will master these

a human being should be able to  
change a diaper. 
plan an invasion. 
butcher a hog. 
steer a ship. 
design a building. 
write a sonnet. 
balance accounts. 
build a wall. 
set a bone. 
comfort the dying. 
take orders. 
give orders. 
cooperate. 
act alone. 
solve equations. 
analyze a new problem. 
pitch manure. 
program a computer. 
cook a tasty meal. 
fight efficiently. 
die gallantly.
