Who We Are?

We had a discussion on the question "Who We Are" in the first day of the trip to Lake District. Some people were tired after a long journey, so only 6 joint the conversation: Vera (UK), Gabor (Hungary), Kaba (Seria Lorne), Angela (UK), Lesley (UK) and me (Vietnam). Basically, we answered 4 questions in few words. Here are the questions and answers:

1. What are you good at?

• Kind, Calm, Friendly
• Patient, Will power, Understanding
• Friendly, Encouraging, Pottery
• Listening to people, Speaking languages, Taking an interest in many things
• Counting, Reading, Reasoning
  
• Friendly, Tall, Intelligent, Religiously minded
  

2. What are you bad at?

• Expressing ideas, Doing things that require too much physical strength, Playing guitar
• Accounts, Sport, Loosing weight
• Public speaking, Computers, Disagreeing (?) with people
• Bossy, Dishonest
• Practical things, Dealing with difficult emotional situations, Answering questions "on the spot"
• Cooking, Writing, Understanding myself
  

3. What are you?

• Sensitive, Caring, Try to lead the life guided by God
• Thoughtful, Worrier (?), People-oriented
• Traditional, Deep-hearted, Open-minded
• Respectful, Honest, Love for others (?), Godly
• Friends
• Polite, Sensitive, Friendly

4. What is the price of yourself?

• Priceless
  
• A dragon
• 1/5 billion
• I have a value because I was created by God to become who He wants me to be
• I am worth making people live happy lives/help to empower people
• To others and to God, I am priceless - sometimes I don't feel very valuable or worth much to myself (?)
  

Answers are in a mixed order and are not always clear since sometimes people (including me) don't really distinguish the questions very clearly, esp. Qs. 1 and Qs. 3. These answers could look funny but when you think that they come from people of different cultures, they would give you some ideas about who people are - a good guide to a very thoughtful and difficult question!
