English term or phrase: disparate stages
I feel a chill run down my spine when I hear the tales of those self-made men and women who claim they built themselves from scratch and do not owe anything to anyone, and that they never took anything from others. That is not my case. I would not be the man that I am without the support of countless persons that helped me through the DISPARATE STAGES of my career.

TIA!

如果没有无数同事在我事业受挫时给与我(无私的)关怀和帮助,我就不会取得今天的成就。
