Let me vent for a second...

A bit of advice?

When trying to impress people,

...don't talk about yourself.

The people I admire most aren't the ones

with the greatest victories or the highest IQ

They're the ones who make me feel like I mean something to them.

My dad used to tell me a story and I wish I knew it exactly

but the gist of it is...

A woman went to a dinner party

and the man she sat next to talked about himself

and his awards and accomplishments all night

and when she got home and was asked how her night was

she said she had met the most amazing person.

The next night she was invited to another dinner party

and the man she sat next to didn't talk about himself

but wanted to hear about her

and when she got home and was asked about her night

she said she had met a man

who made her feel like the most amazing person.

Then my dad would ask, "...who would you rather be with?"
