It depends on the lighting, sometimes I can't see a damn thing.

This is a much better answer than mine.
 
I see a human being.

Other then that if you mean self image through mentality. Then I see a person who tries but doesn't try hard enough. Who can push futher but doesn't. Why this person does not push is because this person is afraid to take risk and see what is beyond one's own self limits. But success is being achieved but only the safe kind, which can never achieve great success. I see someone who has heart and will never give up. It isn't a matter of whether or not this person reach his goal but a matter of when.
