My blog will prove that I’m a geek.

It’s good that somebody acknowledged this. Having said that, it’s no mystery that geeks excell in PR. Most of the top pros I’ve met in the industry are incredible geeks; especially those involved with social media. I feel like I fit in!

There are a lot of negative connotations to being a geek, so I will refrain from referring to myself as such. However, a thirst to excel in your profession or anything else that you are passionate about is a noble thing. In fact, striving to learn more and improve yourself is what makes life interesting. Especially in PR, it is imperative that we are able to play the game better than our competitors and in order to do that we must learn to think strategically as in chess.

Two thumbs up to you for pointing this out. Very insightful observation!!!
