Hi, Steem! My friend has told me about this site, and it is pretty interesting to read the stories here. So I would tell you my own story, story of scaner. My name is Darya. I was born in the center of Europe, a little country between Poland and Russia. My grandgrandfather went through the Second World War,stayed alive and had 5 children, one of them is my grandmother, so it's one line of my origin. The second is from my grandfather, who was from Russian jews. And the third comes from Ukraine with my father. So I'm a kind of a human of world)
I was growing in the atmosphere of music and cats) So music is one of my passions. As well as reading, drawing, dancing, hand-made, economics. And the number of things that interested me was growing with the speed of light. But the older I became, the more I have heard about that magic one direction! You have to choose one hobby, one life, one subject and practice – they say. But how should I, when I will lose other things? You have to choose - the only answer. I have tried, but felt, that life was passing by and time was lost. I didn’t know, whom I would like to be. Every profession suited me quite well. I looked at people, who chose informatics, for example, and was becoming more and more successful in this sphere. And what I? I scolded myself, because I couldn’t choose. And once I have found out that everything is ok!
The key is the book "Refuse to choose!". With the help of it I found out who scanners are and that I am one of them. All around say you have to choose only one direction! But it's a mistake! The answer is pretty simple: you just don't have to give up things you like.
That's why now I am studying in the university economics and international relationships, write a blog, have an e-shop, sing in the chorus, draw with watercolors and read lots of books. Our culture says, that you have to choose, in other case you have big problems. But it is just our nature. Like your body wants to move, your mind scans all around, searching for new possibilities. And if you lose interest and switch to another work, that means you have reached the prize, and not just lazy and absent-minded. As if you were hungry, ate and left the table.
The clou is that scanner is a nature and the main our talent in learning the new and creating the new.
That is what I have understood and want to tell other people like me.
