250 words can be a lot for someone who does not like to talk about himself. I prefer that others make their own picture of me. But I will try to make an inner streaptease, before you, those who read me.
I tend to make a first impression, different from the way I really am. I don't usually open up at the beginning of a relationship. I walk cautiously, exploring the terrain. Not to be confused with suspicion. I usually start with a vote of confidence, which time will confirm later.
I consider myself an honest guy who keeps his word. If I have lied on occasion, I have been ashamed of it.
I believe in hard work as the way to achieve my goals. I do not consider myself gifted with special talents, I know the path that has led me to my achievements.
I am organized without being obsessive. I like order, respecting schedules, following rules.
I am jealous of my privacy. There are times when I prefer solitude. This is something I have to control in order not to overstep reasonable boundaries.
I defend the ideas I believe in with passion, without dogmatism. I respect diversity of thought and do not impose my criteria. I listen attentively to others and can even change my point of view if I understand that I was wrong.
I am not rancorous. If there is a conflict, I try to clarify its causes. Time and circumstances allow me to start over.
