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.

madreJ [45]

Based on the fact that Forward Co. discarded a machine with cost $5,000, the entry to record this transaction in the books would include a credit to Machinery.

<h3>How do you dispose of fixed assets?</h3>

When fixed assets are to be disposed of, the accumulated depreciation upt to that point is looked at to calculate the net book value.

This would then show the company if they made a profit or a loss when they sold the fixed asset with a profit being made when the selling price is higher than the net book value.

Regardless of the price the fixed asset is sold at, the company would record a credit to the fixed asset (machinery) account to show that the fixed asset account is decreasing.

In conclusion, there will be a credit to machinery.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The correct answer is Corporations.

Explanation:

Corporate structure refers to how a business is organized to meet its objectives. The corporate structure of a business is important because it determines the ownership, control and authority of that corporation. These characteristics in a corporation are represented by 3 actors: Shareholders, Board of Directors and Directors. The ownership (the owners) are the shareholders. The control is executed by the board of directors on behalf of the shareholders, while the authority over the day-to-day operations is carried out by the Directors.

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

Qualitative Research refers to a primarily exploratory research which is used in gaining an understanding about underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations. It is used in providing insights into the problem or helps to develop ideas or hypotheses for potential quantitative research.

The analysis of qualitative research notes begins while the account of the data is being taken, usually on the field, and at the time of observation, interviewing, or both. This is done as the researcher identifies problems and issues that will likely help in understanding the situation.
