Have you ever given a thought or pondered, which words or phrases, correctly or rightly define or denote, your state of mind:
1. Are you EAGER or ANXIOUS : How do you wait for people or events in your life? Do you go about your business with that 'something nice is going to happen soon' feeling in your heart ? Or are you the one who has to open the door, every few seconds, or hang out of the balcony railing so precariously, that neighbours start dialing emergency numbers in panic.
2. Do you have DISCUSSIONS or ARGUMENTS: In TOPICS, where there are more that one points of view, are you the one who is sweating all over and shouting at the top of your voice.Can you manage simple disagreements or do they all turn out to be nasty arguments.
3. Are jobs CHALLENGING or TAXING: Do new things weigh you down,or give you a lift. Do you give up mentally even before you have started.
4. Do you REACT or RESPOND :Do you give thoughtful responses or thoughtless reactions to all the life's minor irritations.
5. Do you LAUGH with, or SNIGGER at people: Do you like people, or do you like their history. For that matter, is it their faces or their backs, that are more appealing .
6. Are you plain RIGID or just FIRM: Are you determined never to change your mind about anything ever, or do you just stick for a few important things in your life.
7. Do you RECOMMEND softly or ADVISE strongly: Are you the one who must always tell people how to lead their lives or do you give polite suggestions for improvement. Well to advise you, or on second thoughts, just to suggest politely :
'The only advise people ever want to hear, is the one they were going to give themselves'
9. Are you BOLD or BRASH: Do people admire you for your boldness or shy away from you because of your brashness.
10. Are you OBSESSIVE or just PARTICULAR: To put it simply are you particular about cleanliness or obsessive to death.
Well there are no points for guessing the right answers, for if you've got the right answers, you've got great points already.
