Emilie Wapnick: Why some of us don’t have one true calling


TED 2015
Emilie Wapnick: Why some of us don’t have one true calling  (script)
Summary
Do you know a person who is a luthier and psychotherapist or an illustrator, an entrepreneur, a teacher and a creative director?  How about a person who is a ninja cardiothoracic surgeon poet as your job?  He would be awesome and the first one. Said Cameron Russell on another TED talk.
They would be awesome and great, however, we almost never hear about them.
It's because we're continuously told for a long time that we have to choose one thing that we want to be or do. We think that it is wrong or abnormal to do many things. In our culture, it is better to have and focus one great thing.
However, many people are interested in and create many things. The speaker said that they are not wrong and have big powers. They can combine some ideas and create new things. They have learning abilities and use it every new area, and they also have adaptability. In the world right now, like them who are creative and out-of-the-box thinkers are needed.
Thus, you don't need to worry if you are interested in many things or you can't answer what you want to be when you grow up.  It'll be better for your life to embrace your many passions. This will be your true calling and it will make you happy.
