16A - What's Your Secret Sauce?

Five ways I have human capital

1.     I’m highly emotional. I don’t necessarily think this is a good thing because I make a lot of decisions based on the way that I feel rather than using logic to find the best solution.

2.     I am extremely stubborn. Once I’ve made up my mind about something there’s really no changing my opinion.

3.     I overthink everything. If I have some problem, I can come up with a million different scenarios in my head about all the possible outcomes.

4.     I speak my mind. I’m not really one to be complicit with other people—if I don’t agree with you I’ll let you know and we can have a discussion about it.

5.     I’m compassionate. If any of my friends or family is going through something I will listen to them all night if they need me to. I think it’s important to be there for one another.   

I would say I agreed with everything my friends said. I was surprised at some of the things they noticed in me, like how emotional I am because I thought that was something that only I noticed, but I guess it makes sense that they would notice that type of thing since these are my five closest friends. I think the only difference I saw was that my friends think I’m a lot more intelligent than I think I am—I don’t necessarily think I’m dumb by any means but I think they give me a lot more credit than I deserve. Other than that, I would agree with everything they said. I don’t think I’d change anything on my list because the interviews really confirmed what I had initially put in my list.
