Question: Do you think people have one true calling in life or are we all multipotentialites?

icang [17]3 years ago

These people are held up as shining examples for the rest of us, and—while people like this certainly exist (no hate intended to the focused few!)—many of us simply don’t fit into their model. Through social cues and conditioning, we learn to believe in the romantic notion of the One True Calling: the idea that we each have one great thing we are meant to do with our life—OUR DESTINY!

What happens if you don’t fit into this framework? Let’s say you’re curious about several subjects, and there are many things you’d like to do with your life. If you’re unable or unwilling to settle on a single career path, you might worry that you don’t have One True Calling like everybody else, and that, therefore, your life lacks purpose.

It doesn’t. In fact, there is a very good reason for your tendency to shift between things, to devour new knowledge and experiences, and to try on new identities.

You are a multipotentialite

Have you been nodding your head along as you read? Good news! You are probably a multipotentialite: someone with many interests and creative pursuits. If this is the first time you’ve encountered the word, it might seem like a mouthful. If you have a hard time with multipotentialite or it doesn’t feel like a good fit for you, there are other options. Here are the most common terms for the kind of person we’re talking about:

Multipotentialite: someone with many interests and creative pursuits

Polymath: someone who knows a lot about many different things or a person of encyclopedic learning

Renaissance Person: a person who is interested in and knows a lot about many things

Jack-of-All-Trades: a person who can do passable work at various tasks; a handy, versatile person

Generalist: one whose skills, interests, or habits are varied or unspecialized

Scanner: someone with intense curiosity about numerous unrelated subjects (coined by Barbara Sher in her great book Refuse to Choose!)

Puttylike (adj.): able to embody different identities and perform a variety of tasks gracefully

There is no single way to be a multipotentialite. Some of us have a dozen projects on the go at once, others prefer to dive into a single subject for months or years, making it our sole focus until we switch to a new area entirely. A multipotentialite’s interests can occur simultaneously (several interests at one time), sequentially (one interest at a time), or anywhere in between.

To figure out your own place on this spectrum, think about your past interests, projects, and jobs. Notice any patterns? Do you tend to be interested in many different topics at once, or do you prefer to focus intently on one thing at a time before moving on to the next one (and then the next)? How many projects do you like to have on your plate at once, and how many is too many? Perhaps your capacity for taking on projects is like a stove: You have four pots on four burners; some are boiling on high while others simmer in the back. Maybe your metaphorical stove is more like the industrial range in a restaurant, with a griddle and an infinite number of projects sizzling away. Alternatively, maybe you have a campfire that produces one glorious blaze at a time.

As a manager for a company that is looking to expand to China, what should your company focus on?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Building relationships with suppliers and business partners.

Explanation:

For a manufacturing company that is interested to start businesses abroad, it is important to find out if the operations processes can be carried out at least under the same characteristics as in the country of the firm's origin. Managers must analyze if all the components of their <em>supply chain</em> are likely to be found in the new region. Besides, managers should look for <em>local business partnerships</em> that will help the association adapt to the new market easier.

Bob is evaluating a bond issue to determine the right price for the bond. In his evaluation, he gathers the following informatio
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The price of the bond is $1000. Thus, option a is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The price of a bond is calculated using the present value of the interest payments made by the bond, which is in the form of an annuity, plus the present value of the face value of the bond. The present value is calculated by discounting the annuity of interest and the face value by the YTM or yield to maturity. In case YTM is not provided, we assume that it is same as or equal to the coupon rate paid by the bond.

The formula for the price of the bond is attached.

Bond Price = 25 * [(1 - (1+0.025)^-8) / 0.025]  +  1000 / (1+0.025)^8

Bond Price = $1000

Suppose you examine the central bank’s balance sheet and observe that since the previous day, reserves had fallen by $100 millio
aksik [14]

Answer:

The Central Bank is trying to increase money supply.

Explanation:

When the Central Bank makes moves to increase reserves, it means that it is simply trying to mop up excess cash from the economy to fight inflation. Spiking inflation means that the power of a currency is gradually being eroded. The Central Bank cannot allow this to happen so it hits the "Reduce Money In Circulation" button. It does this by reviewing upwards, the money reserves which commercial banks must hold with the Central Bank.  

It can also increase the rate at which it lends to the Commercial Banks and Investment houses. Commercial Banks, in turn, transfer the additional cost of borrowing to businesses who will seek loans. This slows down the rate at which money is pumped into the economy.

In the question, however, we notice that the Central Bank has enervated its reserves. This means that it is pumping more money into the economy. This economic move may have been executed to prevent the economy from slipping into a recession or simply to stimulate the economy.

In the short run, increased money supply means, businesses have more access to funds from commercial banks. More funds mean, more investment. Increased investment spending means the businesses will need to expand operations, hire more staff, and the multiplier effect goes on and on.

Cheers!

The income statement shows the difference between a firm's income and its costs--i.e., its profits--during a specified period of
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

‘Cash Flow Statement’ is one of major financial statement that indicates the inflow and outflow of cash along with the reasons by categorizing each cash transaction in three activities i.e., operating, investing or financing activity. Non-cash transactions are not considered while preparing a cash flow statement.

The cash flow from operating activities is generally more than the net income after taxes.

The cash flow from operating activities includes only the cash transactions relating to the operations of the business. It ignores the non-cash transactions. On the other hand, net income is derived after deducting all the expenses (paid or unpaid) from the revenue earned, pertaining to a particular period.

Example: Depreciation expense is a non-cash transaction. It is treated as follows:

While calculating cash flow from operating activities, depreciation expense is ignored (added back to the net income) as it is a non-cash transaction.

On the other hand, depreciation expense pertaining to the accounting period is deducted from revenue to calculate net income after taxes.

Thus, the cash flow from operations is generally more than the net income after taxes.
