The Lone Ranger -v- The Range Rover

The world is beautiful, not just because of the trees, the colourful flowers, the blue sky or the breath-taking waterfalls; but it is because of people and their striking personalities.

Now, these unique personalities make us who we are. It affects our patterns, behaviour, perception and life, in general. They are known to be our temperaments.
The psychologists have been able to group these temperaments into four major categories but we will take a look at two today.
It is outrightly important that we understand our personalities and those of others living around us. This makes us appreciate our uniqueness and that of others.

We've been able to see these two classes of personalities. However, some people have a blend of both temperaments. Isn't it amazing? So, when your next-door neighbour or a colleague at work seems to get on your nerves or when that sales person wants to bring out the angel in you (*winks*), try to be more understanding (or at least a little bit).
If you want to impress that boss at the office,it's simple...get to know what makes him tick!
We have to wrap it up here for today. So, till I see you again, don't seek to be like anyone else, stop the competition, develop your strengths and overcome the weaknesses. You are an amazing YOU!
