What do we usually talk about in those first encounters? Our name, where we’re from, what we do for a living. Most of us discuss those 3 facts  before anything else…

I am Chris Connelly, living in Delaware and I’m a web designer.

Are those really the 3 most important facts of our current life? What about faith or family?

In other cultures around the world…they have it right on first introductions…

I’m Chris Connelly, follower of Christ and I love my family (or wife, kids, etc).

They are more defined socially by faith and family/heritage, etc than anything else. In America, we define people by economic class and what state they attained that dreadful accent from.

What is important to you? I love my job but it has nothing to do with the person I am. (So I think in terms of code and how things are done a little more than the next guy, not much else aside from that.)

Honestly, what is important to you? Introduce yourself to someone differently than the norm and see what happens…
