00:50
See, the problem wasn't
that I didn't have any interests --

13
38313
3436
Jer, problem nije bio u tome
što me ništa nije zanimalo --
što me ništa nije zanimalo --
00:53
it's that I had too many.

00:55
In high school, I liked English
and math and art and I built websites

U srednjoj školi sam voljela
engleski, matematiku, umjetnost,
engleski, matematiku, umjetnost,
i pravila sam web stranice
01:00
and I played guitar in a punk band
called Frustrated Telephone Operator.

i svirala sam gitaru u punk bendu

01:04
Maybe you've heard of us.
17
52834
2141
Možda ste čuli za nas.
01:06
(Laughter)
18
54999
2300
(Smijeh)
01:09
This continued after high school,
19
57323
1905
To se nastavilo nakon srednje škole,
01:11
and at a certain point, I began
to notice this pattern in myself
to notice this pattern in myself
20
59252
4408
i u određenom trenutku sam
primijetila šablon kod sebe
primijetila šablon kod sebe
01:15
where I would become interested in an area
21
63684
2553
gdje bih se počela zanimati za
neku oblast
neku oblast
01:18
and I would dive in, become all-consumed,
22
66261
3159
i upustila bih se, postala opsjednuta,
01:21
and I'd get to be pretty good
at whatever it was,
at whatever it was,
23
69444
3531
i postala bih prilično dobra
u tom nečemu,
u tom nečemu,
01:24
and then I would hit this point
where I'd start to get bored.
where I'd start to get bored.
24
72999
4602
a onda bih došla do tačke
gdje se počinjem dosađivati.
gdje se počinjem dosađivati.
01:30
And usually I would try
and persist anyway,
and persist anyway,
25
78046
2776
Obično bih pokušala
ipak ustrajati,
ipak ustrajati,
01:32
because I had already devoted
so much time and energy
so much time and energy
26
80846
2897
jer sam već posvetila toliko
vremena i energije,
vremena i energije,
01:35
and sometimes money into this field.
27
83767
2496
a nekada i novca, na tu oblast.
01:38
But eventually this sense of boredom,
28
86287
2303
Ali u konačnici taj osjećaj dosade,
01:40
this feeling of, like, yeah, I got this,
this isn't challenging anymore --
this isn't challenging anymore --
29
88614
4780
taj osjećaj, kao, ma ja, znam ovo,
ovo više nije izazov --
ovo više nije izazov --
01:45
it would get to be too much.
30
93418
1635
postalo bi previše.
01:47
And I would have to let it go.
31
95751
1659
I morala bih prestati s tim.
01:50
But then I would become interested
in something else,
in something else,
32
98262
2501
Ali onda bi me počelo zanimati
nešto drugo,
nešto drugo,
01:52
something totally unrelated,
and I would dive into that,
and I would dive into that,
33
100787
3188
nešto potpuno nepovezano,
pa bih se upustila u to,
pa bih se upustila u to,
01:55
and become all-consumed,
and I'd be like, "Yes! I found my thing,"
and I'd be like, "Yes! I found my thing,"
34
103999
4262
postala opsjednuta, i mislila,
"To! Našla sam pravu stvar,"
"To! Našla sam pravu stvar,"
02:00
and then I would hit this point again
where I'd start to get bored.
where I'd start to get bored.
35
108285
4297
i onda bih opet došla do tačke
gdje se počinjem dosađivati.
gdje se počinjem dosađivati.
02:05
And eventually, I would let it go.
36
113352
2795
Pa bih na kraju, odustala.
02:09
But then I would discover
something new and totally different,
something new and totally different,
37
117106
3068
Ali onda bih otkrila nešto potpuno
novo i potpuno drugačije,
novo i potpuno drugačije,
02:12
and I would dive into that.
38
120198
1571
i upustila bih se u to.
02:15
This pattern caused me a lot of anxiety,
39
123103
3739
Ovaj šablon mi je stvarao dosta
anksioznosti, iz dva razloga.
anksioznosti, iz dva razloga.
02:18
for two reasons.
40
126866
1182
02:20
The first was that I wasn't sure
41
128460
2832
Prvi je bio što nisam bila sigurna
02:23
how I was going to turn
any of this into a career.
any of this into a career.
42
131316
3013
kako ću išta od toga
pretvoriti u karijeru.
pretvoriti u karijeru.
02:26
I thought that I would eventually
have to pick one thing,
have to pick one thing,
43
134353
2798
Mislila sam da ću na kraju
morati izabrati jednu stvar,
morati izabrati jednu stvar,
02:29
deny all of my other passions,
44
137175
2214
odreći se svih drugih zanimanja,
02:31
and just resign myself to being bored.
45
139413
3396
i jednostavno se pomiriti s tim
da će mi biti dosadno.
da će mi biti dosadno.
02:35
The other reason it caused me
so much anxiety
so much anxiety
46
143595
2319
Drugi razlog što mi je to
stvaralo toliko anksioznosti
stvaralo toliko anksioznosti
02:37
was a little bit more personal.
47
145938
1634
je bio malo više ličan.
02:40
I worried that there
was something wrong with this,
was something wrong with this,
48
148230
2718
Brinula sam se da nešto
nije u redu sa ovim,
nije u redu sa ovim,
02:42
and something wrong with me
for being unable to stick with anything.
for being unable to stick with anything.
49
150972
4118
i da nešto nije u redu sa mnom
jer nisam mogla ostati pri nečemu.
jer nisam mogla ostati pri nečemu.
02:47
I worried that I was afraid of commitment,
50
155677
2387
Brinula sam se da me plaši obaveza,
02:50
or that I was scattered,
or that I was self-sabotaging,
or that I was self-sabotaging,
51
158088
3461
ili da sam rastresena,
ili da se sama sabotiram,
ili da se sama sabotiram,
02:53
afraid of my own success.
52
161573
1666
u strahu od vlastitog uspjeha.
02:57
If you can relate to my story
and to these feelings,
and to these feelings,
53
165261
3714
Ako se možete poistovijetiti sa
mojom pričom i ovim osjećanjima,
mojom pričom i ovim osjećanjima,
03:00
I'd like you to ask yourself a question
54
168999
2274
voljela bih da si postavite pitanje
03:03
that I wish I had asked myself back then.
55
171297
2586
koje bih voljela da sam sebi
postavila tada.
postavila tada.
03:06
Ask yourself where you learned to assign
the meaning of wrong or abnormal
the meaning of wrong or abnormal
56
174796
5426
Pitajte se gdje ste naučili da dodijelite
epitete pogrešno ili abnormalno
epitete pogrešno ili abnormalno
03:12
to doing many things.
57
180246
1821
za raditi više stvari.
03:15
I'll tell you where you learned it:
58
183741
1739
Reći ću vam gdje ste to naučili:
03:17
you learned it from the culture.
59
185504
2086
naučili ste to iz kulture.
03:22
We are first asked the question
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
60
190074
3791
Prvi put nam postave pitanje
"Šta želiš biti kada porasteš?"
"Šta želiš biti kada porasteš?"
03:25
when we're about five years old.
61
193889
1568
kada nam je otprilike pet godina.
03:27
And the truth is that no one really cares
what you say when you're that age.
what you say when you're that age.
62
195481
3693
Činjenica je da nikoga nije briga
za vaš odgovor u tim godinama.
za vaš odgovor u tim godinama.
03:31
(Laughter)
63
199198
1001
(Smijeh)
03:32
It's considered an innocuous question,
64
200223
2375
Smatra se bezazlenim pitanjem,
upućeno maloj djeci s ciljem
dobivanja slatkih odgovora,
dobivanja slatkih odgovora,
03:34
posed to little kids
to elicit cute replies,
to elicit cute replies,
65
202622
2360
03:37
like, "I want to be an astronaut,"
or "I want to be a ballerina,"
or "I want to be a ballerina,"
66
205006
3673
kao, "Želim biti astronaut,"
ili "Želim biti balerina,"
ili "Želim biti balerina,"
03:40
or "I want to be a pirate."
67
208703
1883
ili "Želim biti gusar."
03:42
Insert Halloween costume here.
68
210610
1950
Ovdje ubaciti kostim za Noć Vještica.
03:44
(Laughter)
69
212584
1511
(Smijeh)
03:46
But this question gets asked of us
again and again as we get older
again and again as we get older
70
214119
4412
Ali ovo pitanje nam se postavlja
opet i opet kako starimo,
opet i opet kako starimo,
03:50
in various forms -- for instance,
high school students might get asked
high school students might get asked
71
218555
3877
u raznim oblicima -- na primjer,
srednjoškolce pitaju
srednjoškolce pitaju
03:54
what major they're going
to pick in college.
to pick in college.
72
222456
2227
koji će fakultet upisati.
03:57
And at some point,
73
225088
1882
I u jednom momentu,
03:58
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
74
226994
2028
"Šta želiš biti kada porasteš?"
04:01
goes from being
the cute exercise it once was
the cute exercise it once was
75
229046
3358
se iz slatke vježbice koja je
nekad bila, pretvori u
nekad bila, pretvori u
04:04
to the thing that keeps us up at night.
76
232428
2272
ono što nam ne da spavati noću.
04:07
Why?
77
235137
1150
Zašto?
04:09
See, while this question inspires kids
to dream about what they could be,
to dream about what they could be,
78
237049
5445
Vidite, iako ovo pitanje inspiriše djecu
da sanjaju o tome šta mogu biti,
da sanjaju o tome šta mogu biti,
04:14
it does not inspire them to dream
about all that they could be.
about all that they could be.
79
242518
3412
ne inspiriše ih da sanjaju o tome
šta sve mogu biti.
šta sve mogu biti.
04:17
In fact, it does just the opposite,
80
245954
2398
Ustvari, čini upravo suprotno,
04:20
because when someone asks you
what you want to be,
what you want to be,
81
248376
3016
jer kad vas neko pita
šta želite biti,
šta želite biti,
04:23
you can't reply with 20 different things,
82
251416
2796
ne možete odgovoriti 20
različitih stvari,
različitih stvari,
04:26
though well-meaning adults
will likely chuckle and be like,
will likely chuckle and be like,
83
254236
2895
iako bi se dobronamjerni odrasli
vjerovatno nasmijali i rekli
vjerovatno nasmijali i rekli
04:29
"Oh, how cute, but you can't be
a violin maker and a psychologist.
a violin maker and a psychologist.
84
257155
4052
"Jao, kako slatko, ali ne možes
biti tvorac violina i psiholog.
biti tvorac violina i psiholog.
04:33
You have to choose."
85
261231
1803
Moraš se odlučiti."
04:36
This is Dr. Bob Childs --
86
264105
1769
Ovo je Dr. Bob Childs --
04:37
(Laughter)
87
265898
3077
(Smijeh)
04:40
and he's a luthier and psychotherapist.
88
268999
2900
i on je lutier i psihoterapeut.
04:44
And this is Amy Ng, a magazine editor
turned illustrator, entrepreneur,
turned illustrator, entrepreneur,
89
272835
4289
A ovo je Amy Ng, urednica magazina
koja je postala ilustrator, poduzetnik,
koja je postala ilustrator, poduzetnik,
04:49
teacher and creative director.
90
277148
1947
nastavnik i kreativni rukovodioc.
04:51
But most kids don't hear
about people like this.
about people like this.
91
279119
2706
Ali većina djece ne čuje
za ovakve ljude.
za ovakve ljude.
04:53
All they hear
92
281849
2126
Sve što čuju je
04:55
is that they're going to have to choose.
93
283999
2300
da će se morati odlučiti.
04:59
But it's more than that.
94
287418
1961
Ali i više od toga.
05:01
The notion of the narrowly focused life
95
289403
2992
Pojam usko fokusiranog života
05:04
is highly romanticized in our culture.
96
292419
2372
se jako idealizira u našoj kulturi.
05:07
It's this idea of destiny
or the one true calling,
or the one true calling,
97
295218
4180
To je ideja o sudbini
ili jednog pravog poziva,
ili jednog pravog poziva,
05:11
the idea that we each have one great thing
98
299422
2757
ideja da svi mi imamo jednu veliku stvar
koju nam je suđeno raditi
tokom našeg vremena na Zemlji,
tokom našeg vremena na Zemlji,
05:14
we are meant to do
during our time on this earth,
during our time on this earth,
99
302203
2333
05:16
and you need to figure out
what that thing is
what that thing is
100
304560
2883
i morate odgonetnuti
koja je to stvar
koja je to stvar
05:19
and devote your life to it.
101
307467
2485
i posvetiti život tome.
05:23
But what if you're someone
who isn't wired this way?
who isn't wired this way?
102
311135
3111
Ali šta ako ste neko ko
ne funkcioniše tako?
ne funkcioniše tako?
05:26
What if there are a lot of different
subjects that you're curious about,
subjects that you're curious about,
103
314999
3405
Šta ako postoji mnogo različitih
oblasti koje vas zanimaju,
oblasti koje vas zanimaju,
05:30
and many different things you want to do?
104
318428
2025
i mnogo različitih stvari
koje želite raditi?
koje želite raditi?
05:33
Well, there is no room for someone
like you in this framework.
like you in this framework.
105
321246
3877
E pa, nema mjesta za nekog
poput vas u tim okvirima.
poput vas u tim okvirima.
05:37
And so you might feel alone.
106
325814
1971
Možda ćete se osjećati usamljeno.
05:40
You might feel like you don't
have a purpose.
have a purpose.
107
328412
2213
Možda ćete se osjećati kao da
nemate svrhu.
nemate svrhu.
05:43
And you might feel like
there's something wrong with you.
there's something wrong with you.
108
331017
2685
I možda ćete se osjećati kao da
nešto nije u redu s vama.
nešto nije u redu s vama.
05:46
There's nothing wrong with you.
109
334758
1722
Sve je u redu s vama.
05:48
What you are is a multipotentialite.
110
336908
3593
Vi ste ustvari "multipotencijalista".
05:52
(Laughter)
111
340525
2450
(Smijeh)
05:54
(Applause)
112
342999
6965
(Aplauz)
06:02
A multipotentialite is someone
with many interests and creative pursuits.

113
350312
4953
Multipotencijalista je neko ko ima
puno zanimanja i kreativnih pohoda.
puno zanimanja i kreativnih pohoda.
06:07
It's a mouthful to say.
114
355852
1946
Teška je riječ.
06:09
It might help if you break it up
into three parts:
into three parts:
115
357822
2850
Možda će vam pomoći da je
podijelite na tri dijela:
podijelite na tri dijela:
06:12
multi, potential, and ite.
116
360696
3992
Multi, potencijal, i ista.
06:16
You can also use one of the other terms
that connote the same idea,
that connote the same idea,
117
364712
3220
Također možete koristiti neki od
drugih pojmova za istu ideju,

Moram reći da je nekako ironično
što se kao zajednica,

It's easy to see your multipotentiality
126
393017
2397
Lako je vidjeti multipotencijalnost
06:47
as a limitation or an affliction
that you need to overcome.

multipotentialite super powers.
132
411641
2885
super moći multipotencijalista.
07:07
One: idea synthesis.
133
415384
3176
Jedan: sinteza ideja.
07:10
That is, combining two or more fields
134
418584
2693
Znači, kombinovanje dvije
ili više oblasti

and creating something new

07:51
And multipotentialites,
with all of their backgrounds,

144
459519

A multipotencijalisti,

07:59
The second multipotentialite superpower
146
467999
3072
Druga super moć multipotencijalista
08:03
is rapid learning.
147
471095
1491
je brzo učenje.
08:05
When multipotentialites
become interested in something,

148
473404
2862
Kada multipotencijaliste nešto zanima,
08:08
we go hard.
149
476290
2055
jako smo tvrdokorni.
08:10
We observe everything
we can get our hands on.

150
478369
2771
Posmatramo sve čega
se možemo dočepati.
se možemo dočepati.
08:13
We're also used to being beginners,
151
481164
1743
Također smo navikli na to
da smo početnici,
da smo početnici,
08:14
because we've been beginners
so many times in the past,
so many times in the past,
152
482931
3122
jer smo toliko puta počeli
iznova u prošlosti,
iznova u prošlosti,
08:18
and this means that we're less afraid
of trying new things
of trying new things
153
486077
3279
a to znači da se manje
bojimo probati nove stvari
bojimo probati nove stvari
08:21
and stepping out of our comfort zones.
154
489380
2382
i istupiti iz naših zona komfora.
08:23
What's more, many skills
are transferable across disciplines,

155
491786
4029
Štaviše, mnoge vještine se mogu
prenijeti između disciplina,

08:27
and we bring everything we've learned
to every new area we pursue,

156
495839
3855
i sve što smo naučili unosimo
u svaku novu oblast koju dotičemo,

08:31
so we're rarely starting from scratch.
157

The third multipotentialite superpower
171
542643
2771
Treća super moć multipotencijalista
09:17
is adaptability;
172

that is, the ability to morph

Now, let's say that you are,

Don't worry -- there's nothing

10:55
In fact, some of the best teams

U stvari, neki od najboljih timova
su sačinjeni od stručnjaka

10:58
and multipotentialite paired together.

11:01
The specialist can dive in deep

11:08
It's a beautiful partnership.
203
656164

To je divno saradnja.
11:11
But we should all be designing
lives and careers

204
659066
2469
Ali svi mi trebamo kreirati
živote i karijere
živote i karijere
11:13
that are aligned with how we're wired.
205
661559
2509
koji su u skladu s tim
kako funkcionišemo.

11:16
And sadly, multipotentialites
are largely being encouraged

206
664092
4418
A nažalost, multipotencijaliste
većinom potiču

11:20
simply to be more
like their specialist peers.

207
668534
3008
da budu više kao njihove
kolege stručnjaci.
kolege stručnjaci.
11:24
So with that said,
208
672621
2479
E pa nakon što je sve rečeno,
11:27
if there is one thing
you take away from this talk,
you take away from this talk,

675124
3071
ako ima ijedna stvar koju
trebate upamtiti iz ovog predavanja,
trebate upamtiti iz ovog predavanja,
11:30
I hope that it is this:
210
678219
3098
nadam se da je ovo:
11:33
embrace your inner wiring,
whatever that may be.
whatever that may be.
211
681341
3362
prihvatite vaš unutrašnji sklop,
kakav god on bio.
kakav god on bio.
11:37
If you're a specialist at heart,
212
685687
2168
Ako ste stručnjak u duši,
11:39
then by all means, specialize.
213
687879
1999
onda svakako postanite stručnjak.
11:41
That is where you'll do your best work.
214
689902
2197
Na taj način ćete najbolje
obavljati posao.
obavljati posao.
11:44
But to the multipotentialites in the room,

including those of you
who may have just realized

uključujući vas koji ste možda tek
11:49
in the last 12 minutes that you are one --
217
697969
2016
u zadnjih 12 minuta shvatili da ste to --

Embracing our inner wiring leads
to a happier, more authentic life.

12:12
And perhaps more importantly --

720028
2717
A možda je najvažnije --
12:14
multipotentialites, the world needs us.
225
722769

multipotencijalisti, potrebni smo svijetu.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Emilie Wapnick - Writer, coach, artist ...Career coach Emilie Wapnick celebrates the "multipotentialite" -- those of us with many interests, many jobs over a lifetime, and many interlocking potentials.
Why you should listen
Emilie Wapnick has been a musician/songwriter, a web designer, filmmaker, writer, law student and entrepreneur. "This is how I’ve always lived," she writes, "moving from interest to interest, building on my skills in different areas, and synthesizing the knowledge I acquire along the way."
As a career and life coach, she helps other people with wide and varied interests understand and appreciate who they are, in a society that asks us to pick a lane and stay in it. Her work with "multipotentialites" has resulted in the book Renaissance Business and the interesting website Puttylike.
Wapnick's new book, How to Be Everything: A Guide for Those Who (Still) Don't Know What They Want to Be When They Grow Up, is due out in May 2017.
