Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) I have the same question ! This article sounds such total ######. Besides the answer being ridiculous, in real life I've met people in social events who "bite" you with that question to try to make you feel bad somehow. So its always good to see how the rest treat that type of garbage Serously ... look at it though ... I can't stop laughing Him: So what do you do?Me: Everything I do is rooted in redefining Ambition. I’m interested in shifting the conversation from one of “Getting ahead†to one of “Coming alive.†I'm an idiot I guess ...Him: Oh wow. That’s really interesting. What do you mean by that? Indeed you are ... Edited January 15, 2014 by Issle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 15, 2014 That felt like reading a bad self-help book. Strangely, though, that's almost exactly the kind of hoity-toity, out-of-touch nonsense I would imagine seeing at a party full of businesspeople. Maybe she's on to something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 16, 2014 So what do you answer when people ask you "what do you do " ? Based on my holistic pragmatism, I tend to answer it with a truth. Like.. "right now I am standing and listening to a question which asker could just aswell see the answer to the question being asked". Does it make me antisocial? Those ppl who consider themselves "outgoing" and "social" usually say yes. Although, the irony of such situation usually is worth it to go trough such nonsense. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
