O que queres ser quando fores grande?

Sobre Emilie Wapnick
"Now, let's say that you are, in your heart, a specialist. You came out of the womb knowing you wanted to be a pediatric neurosurgeon. Don't worry! There's nothing wrong with you either! In fact, some of the best teams are comprised of a specialist and a multipontentialite paired together. The specialist can dive in deep and implement ideas, while the multipontentialite brings a breath of knowledge to the project. It's a beautiful partnership. But we should all be designing lives and careers that are aligned with how we're wired. And, sadly, multipontentialites are largely being encouraged simply to be more like their specialist peers. So, with that said, if there's one thing you take away from this talk, I hope that it is this: embrace your inner wiring, whatever that may be."

Scanners

Scanners have a very funny idea about time.
You know when you say you must live in the moment? Scanners can't get out of the moment.
They only live in the present and they feel like their life is going to end by Thursday.
And they don't know how to learn chinese, travel the world and play the violin, by Thursday!
Scanners, actually, are not too busy!
They're just hysterical.
I don't want to do anything second. I want to do everything first.
Because I think there is only NOW, and I'm ready for everything, but it won't fit through the door!
There's a very interesting tool. We all know about it, but scanners forget about it. And it really works!
It's called a calendar.
Your wishes are like a 100 little kids all trying to get through a door at the same time. They can't all get through the door at the same time. But if they line up they can get through the door.
A scanner has to make their own calendar. Because they're hysterical. They are. They're like... They can't think. They know there's now and they don't know there's then.

"The line that separates the possibly predictable future from the unpredictable distant future is yet to be drawn."
Daniel Kahneman

Are you a multipotentialite?

"Multipotentiality is the state of having many exceptional talents, any one or more of which could make for a great career for that person. Gifted children often (though of course not always) have multipotentiality. Their advanced intellectual abilities and their intense curiosity make them prime candidates for excelling in multiple areas. This can be both a blessing and a curse. On the bright side, they have many realistic options for future careers. But on the downside, some of them will struggle mightily trying to decide which choice to make. Particularly in the last couple years of high school and the first couple years of college, this monumentous decision with so many great possible outcomes can be a source of debilitating stress. The choice is “exhausting and stressful,” as one of my students said this year."
Tamara Fisher

So, simply put, a multipotentialite is someone who has a lot of interests!
