ABOUT ME

So I once did an ice-breaker that went like this:

Step 1 - If you could have a pet, and it could be any animal in the world, which animal would you choose? Write down the first animal that comes to mind.

Step 2 - Imagine this animal was your pet, and it could have any three human personality traits (i.e. loyal, adventurous, funny), what three traits would you choose?

If you want, do this exercise. I'll write what it means below in the Teach. Share. Learn section.

UPDATE:
I also did a TEDx Talk this year - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiH2nD3h4xk&feature=player_embedded#at=47

PHILOSOPHY

I like sombreros. And pugs. And other cute/awkward things that make you smile. Recently I saw the happiest pug in the world - he was wearing goggles and sitting in a backpack. I repeat: he was wearing goggles.

If you find this visual funny, we will probably get along.

Back to this exercise with the pet animal and three human traits. Apparently, this is how you want others to see you.

So what were my test results? Feel free to see me as a funny, playful, warm-hearted Koala bear.

What animal did you choose?
...

Oh and as far as CS and exchanging knowledge and all that, I love teaching yoga!
