Folks: Everyone here presumably has considerable life skillsEarly in my career, a learned mentor shared with me a foolproof methodology that can be used to size up your completion, adversary, potential partners etc. In simplistic terms, "If someone needs to tell you who he/she is, they probably aren't". Yep, in my world, what a person is or has done should be self-evident. Yep, character speaks loudly. Those who incessantly feel the need to thump their chest or to jump up and down yelling "look-at-me, look-at-me", tend to be pretenders. Just saying.
