Are YOU a Polymath?
“Who am I” — a question some ask all the time, a few once in a while and the rest of us at least once in their lives. I’m no different.
Given my diverse professional backgrounds and various personal interests, I’m confronted with this identity challenge on a regular basis, either by internally questioning myself or by being externally forced to answer a curious fellow traveler on this magic journey called life.
Perhaps that’s why in my case I’ve decided to reply with another question: “what am I NOT?” — a notion much simpler to answer:
Anything I do not want to be, I can choose not to be. In fact it limits me much less in the natural evolution of wherever life takes me, with the only exception being where I consciously put boundaries, i.e. in the interest for the welfare of others, or, my own. — Toby Ruckert
But what's a Polymath anyway and could you be one, too?
