@missy @rambo @lyxzen I'd have to say that my best quality is a sense of humor, mixed with a fairly positive attitude. I've had my share of issues and problems, but being able to look on the bright side of things is a tremendous help to overcoming them. And if there is no bright side, at least you can make a joke about it.
It's so much more rewarding to brighten peoples lives, or make them laugh, than it is to bring them down. That's not to say that I can't give meaningful and insightful advice. I've spent the best part of 30 years among college students, and there's really not much that I haven't seen. Whether I wanted to or not, sometimes.
Of course, there could be a down side to it too.
