B. I admire your ability to just tell it how it is. When you are serious about something you have little to no restraint from speaking your mind in a respectful manner. Like if I had an idea that you didn't think was the best you would just straight up tell me "nah dude that's a terrible idea".
C. You will succeed without a doubt. I've seen you excel at everything you do now so why would the future be any different.
D. Social without a doubt. You are always talking when im with you and I know with the amount of friends I met that you do it when im not there too.

5. Good friend Thomas
A. Funny, chill, and caring.
B. You are hard working and always down to help out no matter what the issue is. You are super clever and can always think of some witty response or solution to a problem.

C. Succeed at what? You can succeed at anything as long as you give yourself time to prepare and you truly want to do it. If you want to put 100% effort into it then I think you could do anything that is somewhat realistic.
D. Social when we are out at the bar or hanging with friends but you can be introverted when we are chilling at the house after a long day. Not sure if its more you being tired or just not wanting to interact in general.
E. Dude, every time I introduce you to people they just see the 6'4 dude coming in and you immediately have a presence. Aside from that, you can still command a room because you are one of the few people who voices their opinion in a way that doesn't sound like you're bull shitting whatsoever.
Thomas is a good friend that I've known since I was little. He was very descriptive in answering my questions. He sees me as a good friend, someone who can vibe with most people, and that my hard work will help me succeed in the future.
3. My close friends and family perceive me in a similar way that I perceive myself. They all believe that I have what it takes to succeed at what I choose to do and it reinforces what I think of my work ethic. Many interviews talked about being calm or collected and that was something I never really thought about myself. I wouldn't say that I am not calm, I just didn't think it was something that people noticed. If I had to make corrections to my list it would be to add being calm and substitute compassion for caring.

Hello Sean,
ReplyDeleteYour interviews were interesting! Also, I am the same way about others. I make sure that the people I care about are doing well and happy, because it makes me happy. My family also seen me the same way I see myself. Being a calm person is a good advantage to have, because you can control your emotions in a professional situation.
Hello Sean,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your long post, very detailed. One skill that I have had to learn the hard way is how one, at times, needs to back out of being the star figure and assist others to be the star. To be a great leader, one needs to lead by assisting others to show their potential, while you sit back and see how they develop! I can also tell that you are a very hard-working individual! Great post!
