tagrynFound this passage while reading his biography, but it struck as being a decent description of me, as well (although I may be giving myself too much credit, of course), or at least qualities I aspire to:
(He) was not a man of great original thought nor an intellect, but never tried to conceal this. On the other hand, he had much commonsense, an ability to see both sides of an argument, and was possessed with clarity of thought, especially when it came to reducing a problem to its fundamental essentials quickly. He also had, at least until his later years, a capacity for hard work.

Hey, don't sell yourself short. While you have common sense (which is not so common) and you are excellent at seeing both sides of an argument (which has led to the few arguments we ever have!), you are an original and very much an intellect. Don't forget you are also kind, loving, funny, patient, practical, and you have great legs. :)
