What kind of a person am I? Not long ago, I asked myself this question and came up with this list…
I think I…
- use reason
- am inclined toward philosophy
- observe deeply
- have a strong sense of right and wrong and fairness
- am moved to tears by music but cannot produce music himself
- am structured, but drawn to and admire the creative
- am a bit of an adventurer
- do not work well under pressure; work best when I’ve got all the time in the world
- have a split personality: on the one hand, I enjoy nothing more than the comforts and refinement of the world’s best hotels and restaurants; on the other hand, I’m
happy eating anything that can be considered food and sleeping on a bunk bed in a
yak herder’s hut - purr like a cat when driving – anything with four wheels will do, but preferably a Porsche
- close my eyes when I taste food with exquisite taste and texture
- drink for enjoyment and never ever to forget or drown sorrows
- do not understand the concept of “Happy Hour”
I believe …
- in the law of succinctness: I don’t want to assert that for which I don’t have reasonable proof
- that truth is absolute, not relative
- that circumstance explains but does not excuse
My likes – I …
- like humble people (but not those who grovel or are self-effacing)
- love natural environments and am drawn to natural beauty
- highly value commitment (“do as I say”) and shy away from those who break promises
- love freedom and choice
- relish activities and pursuits that are out of the ordinary
My dislikes – I …
- am repelled by intellectual fluff and “all talk and no action”
- loathe arrogance and condescendence and self-importance and big egos
- am highly uncomfortable with group mentality and stereotype
- abhor lies, deception and the abuse of power
- have little compassion for those who do not make an effort to help themselves
