What can you do?

你能做什么？

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。
