Do you think you're impressive?

No. But I am now at a point in my life when I can look back at the wide variety of places I've been, people I have had contact with (albeit often tangentially), events and things I have seen and sometimes participated in, and I think what an impressive life I've had for starting out with no indoor plumbing, no electricity, and a dirt road to the highway. I have had people say they learned so much from me, that I was a role model for them, and my own kids say "remember when you did such and such -- that stuck with me and I learned so much from that" on things I barely remember, if I remember at all, but I've never felt I was doing anything more than my assigned job or role. I never felt I was impressive as in the smartest, sharpest, loudest, biggest, strongest, or most competent person in the room.
