been asked the question
jums uždavė klausimą:
when you were first asked this question?
kai buvote paklausti pirmą kartą?
been able to answer the question
atsakyi į šį klausimą
that I didn't have any interests --
neturėjau nė vieno pomėgio –
and math and art and I built websites
ir matematika, ir menai,
called Frustrated Telephone Operator.
„Nusivylęs telefono operatorius“.
to notice this pattern in myself
šią savo ypatybę,
at whatever it was,
kad ir kas tai bebūtų,
where I'd start to get bored.
kai pradėdavo darytis nuobodu.
and persist anyway,
tęsti ir toliau,
so much time and energy
tiek laiko ir energijos,
this isn't challenging anymore --
tai daugiau nebėra sudėtinga –
in something else,
kuo nors kitu,
and I would dive into that,
ir pasinerdavau į tai,
and I'd be like, "Yes! I found my thing,"
„Taip! Radau savo kelią“,
where I'd start to get bored.
viskas imdavo rodytis nuobodu.
something new and totally different,
visiškai naujo
any of this into a career.
iš pomėgių karjera.

for being unable to stick with anything.

ar kad pati sau kasu duobę,
and to these feelings,

the meaning of wrong or abnormal
pomėgių tolygu
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
„Kuo norėtum būti užaugęs?“
what you say when you're that age.
ką atsakysite būdami to amžiaus.
to elicit cute replies,
tikintis mielų atsakymų:
or "I want to be a ballerina,"
„Noriu būti balerina“,
again and again as we get older
formomis vis išgirstame
high school students might get asked
gali paklausti
to pick in college.
the cute exercise it once was
buvo, virsta tuo,
to dream about what they could be,
kuo jie galėtų būti, tačiau
about all that they could be.
kiek galimybių jie iš tiesų turi.
visiškai priešingai,
what you want to be,
kuo norėtum būti,
will likely chuckle and be like,
greičiau sukikens ir pasakys:
a violin maker and a psychologist.
smuikų ir būti psichologu.
turned illustrator, entrepreneur,
tapusi iliustratore, verslininke,
about people like this.
apie tokius žmones.
