1. First Impressions
I feel like I've always been capable of making great first impressions. I follow five simple principles: smile, look people in the eye, have a solid handshake, ask good questions, and throw in a pinch of self-effacing humor.
2. Making my Parents Laugh.
I may not be funny to most people. I may not be funny to my co-workers. but I think I know what pushes my parents tickle buttons. I think it's because I've known them longer than anyone else…
3. Quoting Movies.
After watching a movie twice, I can remember and quote the entire movie for the most part. It has come naturally, so I can't really attribute it to any particular practice other than a photographic memory.
4. Running
No matter how old, fat, or out of shape I get, I'll always be able to run a mile in under 6 minutes. I haven't timed myself in a mile since my sophomore year of college (almost 5 years ago) and I'm 100% positive that I could go out and post a sub 6:00 mile. It's in the genes, thanks Dad.
5. Dressing Myself.
Call me braggadocious, but I have a keen sense of style. I was unofficially voted "best dressed" in high school; a superlative I will always consider a highlight of my life. I am persecuted for my style/attire to this day.
