I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, everyone has different viewpoints and when you combine them it can make a very good and effective team environment.
I've met a lot of high ranking officers while I was in the Army and to be honest, some of them were right dicks as far as I was concerned, but the fact was that they came to me because of a specific topic that they were not familiar with that I was a domain expert on (the Army gave me that title not me).
My point is that everyone has something that they can contribute and beauty is only skin deep. You can be a raving beauty and a raving idiot at the same time so does that mean that they are still beautiful?
Have you ever noticed that you rarely, if ever, compare yourself to people LESS attractive than yourself?
It's human nature -- if you allow yourself to get caught up in it.
And I believe who ever is assigning tables sees something in you that you don't since they are placing you with such "important" people. :P

Do not choose to look at yourself that way. Do not choose to put yourself down.
You are worthy, and so are they of YOUR company. They are sitting and smiling at you. Perhaps they feel just as awkward as you do.
It is natural to feel a little uneasy with new people, not to mention "important" people. They are important in what they do. What they do is not who they are. Same with you.
I have been around a large table with CEOs of some of the biggest companies in the nation. I felt like I was five years old. I was usually the youngest in the room. But with a little positive self talk, and a little faking it till I was making it--I decided that we were no different.
Choose to think different!
