WHAT WOULD THEY SAY ABOUT YOU?

I want you to imagine the following scene. You’re going for the most important job interview of your life. You’re nervous. In your hand you’re holding your all-important CV, and in the other hand you’re holding onto some of your best work samples.

The interview seems to be going well, until the vice president of the company asks you to write down three or four words that best describes who you are as a person -- outside of work. To your total surprise, he pulls out a few files of letters written to him by your family and some of your best friends, describing what kind of a person you are. He had asked them the same question about you.

Now, for a moment, think about what your closest friends and family would have said about you in only three or four words?

Would any of them have described you by the word HOLY?

Would they have even thought about that word?
