to notice this pattern in myself
da opažam obrazac kod sebe,
potpuno bi me obuzelo
at whatever it was,
u čemu god to bilo,
where I'd start to get bored.
kad bih počela da se dosađujem.
and persist anyway,
u svakom slučaju trudila i istrajavala
so much time and energy
toliko vremena i energije,
this isn't challenging anymore --

in something else,
za nešto drugo,
and I would dive into that,
i bacila bih se na to
and I'd be like, "Yes! I found my thing,"
i u fazonu: "To! Pronašla sam moj poziv",
where I'd start to get bored.
u kojoj sam se dosađivala.

to elicit cute replies,
or "I want to be a ballerina,"
ili: "Želim da budem balerina",
again and again as we get older
iznova i iznova kako odrastamo
high school students might get asked
đake u srednjoj školi mogu da pitaju
to pick in college.
the cute exercise it once was
to dream about what they could be,
da sanjaju o tome šta bi mogla da budu,
about all that they could be.
o svemu što bi mogla da budu.
what you want to be,
šta želite da budete,
will likely chuckle and be like,
verovatno kikotati, u fazonu:
a violin maker and a psychologist.
da budeš graditelj violina i psiholog.
i psihoterapeut.

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.
