　　If you think you are having trouble managing one career, it might be the burnout and fatigue because of decade long repeated frustration.

　　如果你认为应付一项事业已经感到十分困难，这有可能是长期以来因反复遭受挫折而感到的筋疲力尽。

　　You just need to create a plan to synergize your multiple identities and give it a fresh look, and start something small, but start early.

　　你只需制定一个新的计划，融合多项身份特性并使其焕然一新，然后从小事开始着手，但要及早开始。

　　Ask yourself “What do you want to become next?” rather than “What do you want to become?”

　　那么你就该问自己“将来会成为什么样的人?”而不是“你希望成为什么样的人?”了。
