For some time, people have been asking who I am. What a loaded question, huh? “Who are you?” I have a name, sure – Chris Agnos – but that doesn’t tell you much. In corporate society, it is customary to create a resume to tell people who you are. This resume generally portrays information related to our skills and capabilities, validated in the form of accomplishments. What have you done that can be quantified and put down on paper? This would seem to mean that the best way to talk about who you are is by talking about what you accomplished. After all, your employer doesn’t want to hire a human being. They want to hire someone who can do the job. Who you really are or what you are passionate about is of little importance. I reject that. Each of us is so much more than our quantifiable accomplishments. I personally believe that I am a sum total of all of my experiences and relationships to other people, other beings, the world and even Universe itself. Those relationships and experiences make each of us who we are. They form the basis of our world views and our understanding about what it means to be human. For this reason, I felt to truly answer the question of who I am, I needed to write a different kind of resume – a life resume – that begins at birth and brings you to the present day. You cannot know someone without knowing their experiences, and so I present to you, in the spirit of transparency and honesty, my life resume.
