personality plus pt2

Learning to appreciate and make the most of the opposing personality types is the aim of successful interactions. Espically in business.
People are productive, but we shouldn't use them.
We should not try to change others (this has been a hard lesson learnt), but should learn to change our understanding of them.

Of the specific types, learning to appreciate and utilise these main traits will help:
-Sanguine's have a light carefree attitute
-Choleric's have a "take-charge" attitute
-Meloncholy's are attention to detail people
-Phlegmatic's have a faithful support thing going on

also knowing that we are born with our personality type is a bonus, and while we can tweek certain things, the core of our natural strenghts will still reside within our type. learning that each type is motivated differently also helps.

Emotional needs of the major types:
-Sanguine's need to be noticed and complimented
-Choleric's need to be appreciated in every aspect of what they do for others
-Meloncholy's need us to understand and not ridicule them
-Phlegmatic's need respect for who they are, regardless of what they do

the first chill

I must admit that secretly i love the cooler months. There is nothing that says fun to me more loudly than curling up in front of a fireplace with a fluffly rug, sipping a glass of red wine whist reading a great book!
Ok call me boring, but i have lived out many adventures through the pages of books. Not to mention how much i have challenged my fleshly being into something more likeable with the aide of books. Yes i love books! I actually need a library in my home to house the books i own, and the new ones i collect. I always dream't of having a large room that was just for my books, it was double the height of a regular room and had a rolling ladder for those hard to reach books! My room also has a very well padded bay window seat, with luxe cushions and glamourous statues/artwork adorning the corners of the room.  Lastly a large persian rug has prime place across the wooden flooring....big contented sighs...one day i will take a photo of me lounging in my library. Smiles, never stop dreaming my friends, dreams are one of the glorious treaures the mind is made for.

with love from my bathtub with a good book (second best to fireplace)
