I need to work on my chutzpah. I overspecialized in moxie and spunk (the personality trait, that is).<p>Chutzpah&#x27;s critical though- you&#x27;re usually not going to get what you want if you never ask for it. You can wait a really long time for people to just give you what you want, especially if you never express an interest by asking for it.<p>It sounds like common sense, but it feels like it took about 20 years too long for that to really sink in with me. I always assumed people understood me a lot more than they actually did.
