Here's a humbling exercise, ask yourself what you are good at, aside from the skills you use at work, after my conversation with Kim, I put this question to a handful of friends and got ranging from “finding restaurant for people” to “ spotting terrific old chairs ,”The more I think about my own answer to this question, the more confused I seem to get ,Which apparently does not happen to everyone but more about politics in a minute.

humble /ˈhʌmbəl/谦逊的
Aside from 此外

terrific /təˈrɪfɪk/极好

A year ago this month I left a job, and a carrier, that brought me great satisfaction for a more than two decades.Can serendipity b a strategy?It's certainly worked for me. I happened to find a field in which my skills and then the requirement of the job were a Venn diagram with near total overlap .Like most of my friends, I spend my 20s and 30s marching determinedly along my given path, working hard, with purpose, and by the time I reached my 40s, I was able to enjoy the fruits of my labor, isn't that the way the American dream goes?

译文来咯，快看看吧，这篇文章还是比较好懂的，自己也比较喜欢，虽然对于我们还比较远，哈哈💪💪
前几天的晚上，我跟朋友金吃饭。人到中年的她正在尝试改变职业，她干了十几年的摄影，很成功，但意识到该做点不同的事了。但是除了摄影，她还有其他的资质吗？“我擅长搞派对”她耸耸肩对我说，“还有平行停车”我们杯里重新倒上红酒，设想这种特定的组合，可能用得上的各种职业，大笑了一场。
这是一种令人谦卑的行为，问问自己。除了工作里用到的技能，你还擅长什么？跟金聊过以后，我对几位朋友都提出这个问题，得到的回答五花八门，“从帮人们找到餐馆到发现特别棒的老椅子”关于自己该如何回答这个问题，我想的越多，似乎就越困惑有人显然不是这样，但政治方面却更是如此，我马上就会说到。
一年前的这个月，我放弃了一项工作，一项事业，它给我带来长达20多年的巨大满足，侥幸的发现可以作为一种策略吗？对我而言无疑有效。我发现一个领域，自己的技能和工作的要求，几乎完全重叠的韦恩图，像我的大多数朋友一样，我在二三十岁的时候一心沿着既定方向努力勤奋工作，决心满满，因此到40多岁的时候得以享受劳动果实，美国梦不就是这样的吗？

今天的节目就结束了，明天深度分析喽😘
