Of all my talents, a quick wit would have to be a top attribute. It is at the heart of my ability to charm, to leave a lasting impression. With all the new people I'm meeting lately, all I need to capture their attention is perform a witty phrase, playing with things previously said. Even if I can say one thing before I go that can get to them and make them laugh then I am etched in their minds. Its a clever tool to use to get ahead in life, make all the necessary connections and whatnot. But what happens when I come to the one person that I can't charm? It is a fear and a doubt in my mind. I'm so used to easily making a connection, so what happens when I can't live up to it? I'll at some point come to find a person that hasn't got a sense of humour the same as mine and I will fail. Failing is not usually a part of my vocabulary. I don't understand the concept. Everything is attainable in my mind.
But the truth is, I believe I've already found the person I can't use wit to win over...
Does it feel alrite to fail once? even for myself, the supposed master of the universe...
Contemplation required....
