You aren’t what you do

Something that has struck me recently is the difference between what someone is or has done (their CV if you will), and who someone is (their personality). I think too often we can confuse the two or assume that if the first is impressive, then the second will also be good by default (and vice versa). This is probably a real issue if you take key decisions e.g. hiring or marrying someone, based on the first set of facts, whereas it is only over time that you realize that you should really be trying to understand a mix of both elements before making those key decisions.
