ITT: Brag about yourself. (lemmy.zip)

It’s frowned upon to brag about yourself. But I feel like it’s good to hype yourself up, even if it is a little bit extreme or out of the ordinary! Post in this thread celebrating yourself and letting others know something you’re really good at! I’ll start…

I’m a really good coach. Strength and conditioning primarily but athletics overall. If an athlete comes to me and they have the mindset of improvement it’s a damn near guarantee that I will increase their athleticism and make them stronger, faster, more powerful, etc. I’ve trained young kids to become dominant high school athletes, high school athletes to get full ride scholarships to D1 universities, D1 athletes to get drafted to the NFL, MLB, and NBA, and I even trained a couple of professional athletes as well! All that said in a REALLY good strength and conditioning coach.

What can you brag about?!

I can recognise almost 300 汉字 💅 it did take me about 8 months, life keeps getting in my way

also finally, formally medicated, no more self medocating for me!

Hey, congrats!!! That is a huge number of characters to have learned in eight months. I started learning Mandarin in January and I have gotten to the point where I know about 150 characters. Admittedly, I haven’t been doing any studying consistently, but I am amazed at the fact that you know 800 already! I hope you keep on with your studies, and I hope that it brings you much fulfillment.

That’s dope! Congrats on the Kanji? And congrats on the no more self medicating! I’m on a similar path.

Kanji is 漢字。presumably that's Chinese
