LOL --- well, self-esteem is overrated I think
. But I think the key to "the appearance of intellect" or whatever is simply to distinguish between what you know, what you don't know, and what you would like to know ... and operate from those frames of reference
So, that having been said .... what is your area of specialty in life, if I may ask? Not necessarily your "job", but your main focus of interest most of the time?
Anyways thanx for asking how I've been. I'm doing alright. I'm breathing
Enjoy your day Laura
