I have frequently been asked in team bulding exercises to introduce myself in various ways. One of my favorite ways is:

Q. What is your name and if you could be any animal which one would it be and why?

A: Ali Muzaffar & Bear, without a doubt. It's a toss up between a Grizzly, or Kodiak bear.

My reasons are:

They are smart.

They are strong.

They look slow and sluggish but they aren't (their top speed is about 30KM/Hour).

They look like a big cuddly push over but are deadly.

They are mostly solitary (aren't most software developers).

They gain and lose a lot of weight every year.

They are one of the most adaptable species in the world.
