Last night I spent about four hours practicing some swing dancing stuff with a [very talented] friend of mine and I swear I was thinking the exact same thing. I think that I've got some similar personality traits. Well said. :) “my ability to understand my weaknesses improves faster than my ability to correct them.

>> I like to think this constant pessimism fuels my desire for self improvement

I’ve been a fan of yours for some time now, and I don’t think that your quest to excel is related to pessimism. Personally, having met you and seen you present before an audience, I get the feeling that your are a genuinely curious fellow and that your “drive” is more related to your obsession to understand how things work.
