Multiple identities?

When you were young, when people asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up, we often chose only one occupation to answer them, such as teacher, doctor, photographer, pilot or scientist.

However, why can only answer one?

With the development of the times, most modern young people are "Slash youth" (note: slash youth, from English slash, from the book "Double Occupation" written by The New York Times columnist Marek Alber, refers to a group of people who no longer meet the lifestyle of "single occupation" but choose a diversified life with multiple occupations and identities. For example, I like a big V called bamboo very much. Her identity is photographer/writer /vlogger/ blogger/host. Not limited to a certain identity, her view is that women in China should grow up savagely.

Teacher Li Xinpin, whom I admire very much, is also a person with multiple identities-copywriter/writer/teacher/reporter/host/traveler/painter/poet/film critic/screenwriter. ...

Her identity is still being added. After seeing her introduction, many people will be curious about one question: which identity do you like best?

Teacher Xin Pin thinks that life should not use choice and comparison to find the "best", because this choice will exclude other things and make life narrower and narrower.

If you live with your heart and truth, and explore and evolve the infinite possibilities of life, you won't ask such questions again.

In fact, although at first glance, the identity of each of them is irrelevant, if you list a clear chart with a mind map, you will find that these skills are actually interrelated and inseparable.

For example, photographers and vloger have similar internal aesthetic thinking, and the beauty of taking every photo can naturally be used in vlog shooting every frame of photos.

For example, writers, journalists, film critics, bloggers and screenwriters can all be connected in series based on their writing ability.

Therefore, as long as you have good bottom-level ability, you can support multiple identities.

If you want to try to explore how many possibilities you have, try to use the tool of mind mapping to help you sort out your identity. I like mind mapping very much, it can save the chaotic brain, especially for a divergent player like me, who often has n thoughts in his mind at the same time. Mind mapping can help me connect scattered ideas into meaningful content.

Write your best skill in the center of the picture, then spread it out gradually, and then write out other skills or occupations related to this skill. You may only think of one or two at first, but once you spread your mind, you can think of more than n related ones. Next, while honing your main skills, you can also develop in other occupations.

If you can only live once, you must experience enough in this life and don't set limits for yourself. Expand the width of your life endlessly, and I will always be just a part of me for you to see.
