Don't we all like to think we know ourselves and could describe our personalities? The new thing, apparently, is to define yourself in three words - a kind of personal shorthand to who you are.
Coming up with three words sounds easy but actually it takes some thinking about and there's no point kidding yourself. How I'd love my three words to be tall, skinny and rich but it isn't going to happen. Those three words for me are always going to be shortish, curvy and overdrawn.
Then I thought about what three words the people around me would put forward if they were asked to describe me. How lovely it would be if the sons said nurturing, understanding and generous (in recognition of the open purse policy they pursue relentlessly). Realistically it's more likely they'd come up with never stops nagging.
I like to think I'd probably fare ok with my friends and I'd hope they'd say loyal, entertaining and loving and that my work three words would be professional, able and organised.
It's harder than it sounds to sum yourself up in three words - give it a try. There's a few combinations that I wouldn't mind - sexy, entertaining, intelligent, or how about elegant, sparkling, captivating? Then again, on a down day it'd definitely be bad tempered, judgemental and sharp tongued.
Finally, I decided mine would be creative, fun and positive. That'll do me nicely.
