I’ve always found Rollo May’s version to be a perfect fit for my inner awkward teenager’s view of things:
“I am not who I think I am. I am not who you think I am. I am who I think you think I am.”

Reflected appraisal! (It’s an interesting construct that Rollo May sums up nicely.)
Reflected appraisal is a term used in psychology to describe a person’s perception of how others see and evaluate him or her. The reflected appraisal process concludes that people come to think of themselves in the way they believe others think of them (Mead, 1934; Cooley, 1902; Sullivan, 1947). This process has been deemed important to the development of a person’s self-esteem, especially because it includes interaction with people outside oneself,[1] and is considered one of the main influences on the development of self-concept.[2]

That would actually look cool on a pencil too as long as you sharpen the “ecca” off all at one time

Here…@.hansepe…I just did these for you, even though I can’t physically hand one to you. I loved your idea and given your occupation, I thought they were especially fitting. In lieu of being able to give one to you, I’m sure my grandsons will like them.
Even though they turned out OK and ‘snapped to’ as hoped, something didn’t come out quite right…the words ‘blast off’ were not supposed to be so close to the ferrule. It made it…but just by a hair. That will be something I’ll want to figure out for a next time.

Those are coolest! (Especially for rocket scientists…might need to borrow the idea for another friend who happens to be one…he’d get a real chuckle.)
