Do you live to work? Or work to live?
Is your profession the defining part of your life?
Would you wish for people to characterize you by your job? Your family standing? By one of your hobbies perhaps?
When somebody is telling another about you, what key word or phrase would you like that person to use?
"Do you know "Bob"? He's an electrical engineer with Dupont."
"Do you know "Mary"? She's a second grade teacher at the local elementary school."
Or perhaps it's your family status that's more important.
"Joe? He's a father of three. All girls."
A hobby.
"Susan? You'd never know it to look at her, but she races motorcycles on the weekends."
So how would you like to be described or defined by others?
What about you do you think is your best quality or characteristic?
I understand some of this is relative to the situation. If a co-worker is describing you to a boss or other co-worker you'd hope for something different than if
a neighbor is describing you to some couple who just moved in next door.
