Describe Yourself in One Sentence

Have you ever pondered how you would answer if someone asked you to describe yourself in one sentence?

The person has never met you before. How you answer will determine how the person reacts to you. Perhaps you are in an interview and want to be hired for the open position. Maybe the person is giving away a million dollars and your answer will determine whether or not you get the money. Or you are joining a new group and the members want to know something about you.

Would you have the same sentence for each situation? Would you try to impress the person who asked the question or be brutally honest?

Ask your friends or family to describe your best qualities and characteristics. Are they the same words you would use to describe yourself? You may be surprised how they answer.
