Hi All,

It has been a long time since I spent some time in this blog. Pardon for this long delay.

I have been amazed all these months, on how understanding the needs of different personalities can help in lessening the stress level for oneself.

From choosing an employee, to dealing with your business associates, to talking to your children, the lessons we learned from personalities training are immeasurable.

We just came back from Phuket, as usual, trying to put the personality strategies to work, after much conversing with the locals there, we realized that they are very high D culture. Almost everyone has this "anger" and "fazed" look on their faces. We had the blessing of a nice cabby who told us about how the places around had recovered from the Tsunami aftermath, the tourism industry has not really picked up. From our resort, we could clearly see that we were the few tourists there, the pool was filled with less than 30 people! No wonder the people had this look on their faces. They were on what I called "survivor-mode". The D has to come up to gain and keep employment, and it must be difficult to maintain happy face when there are so many chances to be laid off. The unforgiveness and anger written all over their faces made me feel sorry and kept reminding myself different situations, places, cultures and even past events can change a personality - thus the Graph 1 and Graph 2 of our assessment. Now I am very interested in looking at these 2 graphs. Some people are really "stressed" from their basic personality vis-a-vis their current situation. By understanding and knowing a little more, we change our perception of who we are dealing with, and a sense of forgiveness over events or actions per se can be rendered.

I am so buzzed up in personalities. Just this morning waking up, I was determined to help my high I daughter to conquer her fear of Chinese language. Putting on my S jacket, I kept reminding myself to tie-up my D tongue, letting go of I-tongue to praise and smile at each and every of efforts she did.... tutoring became easier and she had fun! Try it!

I sincerely urge all to continue to share more testimonies in your environment, to encourage one another towards a better understanding of different cultures as well.

Till next time, happy evolving with the understanding of personality differences. Not just understanding, I beseech you to apply these knowledge to everyday life!

Blessings to you and until next time!

God bless!
Amy
