I live in Berlin .taking phd in a public university.

During my work as a personal development trainer, I have helped many people answer the question of how to describe themselves positively. During that time one thing that I have learned is that describing yourself accurately is something you have to put some effort into. This is especially true since being honest about our skills, qualities, and attributes can be confused with being arrogant or "blowing your own horn." None of us would choose to come across as arrogant or boastful! But having quiet confidence and respect for our positive characteristics is different.
