Have you ever been asked the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I am someone who’s _________ been able to answer the question. The problem wasn’t that I didn’t have any _________ ---- it was that I had too many. In high school, I liked English, math and art and I built websites and I played the guitar. This _________ after my high school, _______ at a certain point, I started to get bored. And usually I would try and _______ anyway, because I had already devoted so much time and energy and sometimes money to this field. But eventually this sense of _______ would get to be too much. And I would have to let it go.
This pattern caused me a lot of _________ for two reasons. The first was that I wasn’t _______ how I was going to turn any of this into a career. I thought that I would eventually have to _______ one thing, deny all of my other passion. The __________ reason was that I worried that there was something wrong with this, and something wrong with me for being __________ to stick with anything. I was afraid of commitment. ________, there is nothing wrong with me. I am just a multipotentialite(多重潜力者). A multipotentialite is someone __________ many interests and creative pursuits. It is easy to see your multipotentiality as a limitation that you need to __________. But what I have learnt is that there are three multipotentialite __________: Idea synthesis(综合), rapid learning and adaptability.
In fact, some of the best teams are made up of a specialist and multipotentialites. The specialist can dive in deep ideas, __________ the multipotentialite brings a width of knowledge to the project. It is a __________ partnership. So what I hope is this: If you are a ________ at heart, then by all means, specialize. But to the multipotentiallites, please __________ your many passions and follow your curiosity. The world __________ multipotentialites.
