Birds
Attended a talk from AIA today (or rather yesterday). No, it's not about insurance... instead, it's about some career talks. Or at least, they made it sound like one. Nevertheless, that's not important. What's important is that we did some stupid survey about what type of bird (serious!) we are. It's a short 20 questions survey to determine what type of personalities you have... or should I now, call the survey, personality test. 4 types of bird... 1)Eagle - confident, arrogant etc. 2)Peacock - cartoon, humorous, like to talk... 3)Dove - shy, quiet... 4)Owl - wise and thinking. Oh, actually that's just my brief descriptons about the birds, there were more. Guess what I'm categorised under? I think I'm under none... I'm almost about 25% for each bird though the eagle won by a slight margin. Yeah, very slight. So I guess I'm still under "don't know what bird". Anyway, I don't totally believe in such test as u can't just separate a man's personalities into 4 different categories. Yeah, to narrow down I know, but that's not the way, in fact I felt that each and every single person is so very different that if there's really a need for sensible categories, the quantity will be countless. But still, the important lesson learnt today is that, I think it's not important to know what kind of stupid bird you are but what kind of bird others are. And so you can work on them accordingly... oh, I know it will be damn true and useful when we start to work. Some ideas... 1) Eagle likes to be respected and all you need to do is to obey instructions if he's your boss. 2) Peacock. Oh, that's easy. Allow him to talk more and talk more with him too... the things he likes of course. 3)Dove. Show concern... 4)Owl. They're dangerous. Nevertheless, to know these knowledge about them is one thing but to apply is another. Yeah, I know you know, sometimes feelings, yeah, damn feelings, they just get the upper hand of you...
