    I'm pretty good at knowing that claiming to be exceptionally good at anything is quite a statement.

    Well I don't mean to make you feel inadequate, but saying you were top 2 or 3 in Utah is a pretty huge stretch regardless of how shitty of a state it is.

    I have excellent style, applicable most importantly for dressing to the occasion.

    Nah dude, I'd stand by that. Back in the day, definitely. And even if not 2 or 3, and I doubt there are more than a few who are better, I'm no lower than like 5th.

    yeah some people you just can't do anything for, but I usually do my best. I don't work with people long once i realize that they aren't willing to put reasonable effort into the subject matter. Generally, though, even if their basis is flawed or non-existent, it's usually just a matter of patience to build them up to a reasonable level. one on one tutoring, when done properly, is far more effective thana classroom environment.

    this is sort of true, sometimes. in some cases the kid has a condition (from add to autism; these kinds of things are treated most effectively in one-on-one learning sessions), in some cases the parents have fucked up and raised an bastard or a lazy-ass kid, and in some cases a student's just missed something integral early on and needs a tutor to pay special attention. in an ideal school system, the tutor's job would be made redundant.

    the "tutoring" i do now is i sit in a common room and random people come in to ask for help
    this supplements my teaching in 30-student tutorials, which i prefer given not all faces are blank
    i did that as a teaching assistant at kumon and i also did private tutoring. i found kumon to be ineffective, frustrating and stupid. kids hated being there, and i hated its form of "teaching". kids i tutored privately liked me, they had a good time during sessions and, at least the students i had when i got good at it improved drastically, which was something i generally didn't see at kumon.

    kumon kids picked up stuff like what a noun is and memorised their times tables, but they never really learnt stuff.

    Charm, as in... I can near enough bullshit or talk my way in/out of anything. Like the time the police nabbed me for being a disorderly drunk. At 1st there was a lot of shouting and arm twisting, but 5 minutes in the van with them and they decide to not throw me in the cells, and let me right back out!

    Edit: Also police on powertrips are assholes, they take out their little frustrations on you, so don't encourage those fuckers.

    Oh and I'm also fucking awesome at customer service and handling people.

    Pissed off people call up to abuse our company from time to time. As the manager of my division, their call will often come to me and typically they end up apologizing and thanking me for the excellent service we provide. It generally all comes down to finding the hook to remind them of their deep insecurity that they are secretly a very bad person.

    Just this morning I replied to an email from a CEO's secretary who told us they were so annoyed that they had had a meeting and were never using our company ever again. They replied to my email saying they understood how difficult things are for us and appreciate the efforts we are going to to fulfill their needs. They also attached a submission asking if we would like to sign a $200,000 supply contract with them. I'm going to leave them hanging till Monday.

    I'm good at feeling other peoples pain, and trying to help them in any way that I can. I guess thats a strength or a weakness depending on how you see it.

    I'm good at running. And honestly that's about it. Most people have many talents, that's about all I've got. I'm totally average at everything else. I can't even thank myself for most of my running abilities, a lot of athletic ability really IS genetic, my dad was a track star in high school and some of his records stand to this dayl. I won my first open track meet at age 12 on no training. I can make the most of what I was born with (and do) but it's not like I invested a whole lot of blood sweat and tears into my talent, which kind of makes me feel like poo sometimes when I see guys who bust their asses finish in the middle of the pack. I mean I train too, but I start out with an unfair advantage. And while winning races is nice and all that, it really is lonely at the top sometimes.

    I truly wish I could be "just slightly better than average" at 3 or 4 things and have gotten there by my own effort instead of outstanding at 1 thing that I can't even really take credit for.
