If this is true (and not just feel-good hype), maybe there's still hope...
Having multiple passions means that, by default, our store of experiences and general knowledge is wider than most of the population. This means that when we approach a problem, we weave our experiences into our potential solutions. That ability to borrow from other fields vastly increases the chances that we’ll come up with a potentially world changing combination, whether it be the mix of Flash, Java and the internet which created YouTube or the mixing of blues, R&B and 1-4-5 chord progressions which catapulted the Beatles to fame. That potential makes us extremely valuable, and even if conventional wisdom doesn’t recognize it, smart employers do. Why do you think Google allows their workers to spend two out of every ten hours on their own projects?
