I am a great _____________ (fill in the blank)

Namaste,

Some spiritualists may find this topic interesting.

Coming to the domain of 'personality traits' (vs. habits such as Stamp collecting), I believe there is only 1 answer that can go in the blank, when anyone is asked to fill the sentence "I am a great _________________".

And considering the sophistication of this forum, I'm inclined to indicate that with the attached picture.

Why so? For the notion of greatness defeats anything great that one might come to possess.

Any alternative answers could possibly fill the blank?

I am a great listener.

For the record, I have a great ***, but I don't think I'd say I was a great ***. Jus' sayin'...

How amusing is it that the RF censor nullified such a mild word. Hilarious, really.

Thank you! Accept my defeat. (Partly because behavioral changes, to me, were not part of personality traits -- like saying, "I am a great devotee", "I am a great humanitarian", "I am a great scholar", "I am a great Philanthropist", etc)... :)

I am a great conversationalist who never stops having questions and answers.

I had to think about this for a while because there are so many things great about me. :D Yes, that was a bit egotistical.

Seriously, I have never really thought about being a great [noun] but I think I am great at a number of things. But think I would have to say the same as @Shantanu that I am a great conversationalist (to the point of being pedantic).

I am a great slave to my Mata Ji, at whose feet I wish to be forever. I am a great slave because even though I am not the best, learned in all Her rituals and mantras but my devotion is true and one pointed to Her.

Jai Mata Di!

I've never felt great at anything. In order to be great, I think the level of concentration needed on one particular aspect of life (music, dance, being a chef, a writer) is only for a certain personality type, or a direct Gift from god for a mission.

The middle path is more to my liking. Not great at anything, but not horrible at much either.
