If your family and co-workers were told they could choose only five
words to describe you, what would you like them to say?

What do you think they would say? And to paraphrase Jack
Nicholson, "Can you handle the truth?"

It takes character to engage in open-minded self-reflection and to
acknowledge and address our flaws, but it takes even stronger
character to commit to getting better and staying the course.

It's like the old proverb: If you want to know how to live your life,
think about what you want people to say about you after you die, and
live backwards.

I'm definitely a different person than when I was first hired. I wasn't very
social and I didn't fit in so well as I'm not a sports nut. I'd say they think I'm
somewhat elitist or odd. :?
