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

icang [17]2 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.

If a pair of shoes in the United States costs $45, and a pair of the exact same shoes is sold in Mexico for 430 pesos while the
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is profit of $2.3 by selling it in Mexico.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

In the United states Cost of shoes = $45

In Mexico, Cost of Shoes = 430 Pesos ( where $0.1100 = 1 pesos)

So, 430 Pesos = 430 × $0.1100 = $47.3

So, we can calculate the profit to sell in Mexico as follows:

Profit to sell in Mexico  = Sell price in Mexico - Sell price in US

= $47.3 - $45

= $2.3

So, the arbitrage opportunity exist by buying the shoes in Pesos and selling it in Mexico, one can make a profit of $2.3 per shoes.

musickatia [10]

Answer:510 students

And Of every 10 student 6 will have to sit for a refresher math course

Hence the number that will need a refresher math course will be (850/10)*6= 510

Or better still to better understand this let's use the crossing multiplication method

Stan and Dwight were playing in a golf tournament and came to a hole where there was a hill that required a blind shot to the gr
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

b) Dwight is liable for negligence because Stan did not knowingly assume the risk that Dwight would hit a shot in his direction

Explanation:

In this scenario there was an agreement between Stan and Dwight where Dwight asked Stan to drive ahead in the golf cart to see if they could hit their shots.

However Stan drove the cart over the hill, saw the green was clear, and started driving back to the tee box.

Instead of waiting as agreed Dwight made a shot that hit Stan on the head injuring him.

Dwight is liable in this case because he was supposed to wait and get feedback from Stan before making a shot.

He knowingly made the shot knowing there was a blind spot.

This is negligence on Dwight's part.
