EUREKA - An answer to a question of many

I have...Have you?

Have you ever been bothered by certain questions in your head? Or tried to find answers to why the person next to you is the way s/he is? Why certain people are so least bothered about what's happening around? Why some are such a philosopher? Why others made their presence easily felt in a group while some others always happen to be right and you exclaimed, "Damn! yet again"? 

It's not that difficult. I have found an answer for you, my friend.

There are four temperaments in human beings that we are gifted with - 
1) People in the first category are best in dealing with people enthusiastically, in expressing thoughts with     excitement, and in up-front positions of attention - THE TALKER.
2) People of the second temperament are best in attending to details and in deep thinking, in keeping records, charts, and graphs -THE THINKER
3) The third group are best in jobs that require quick decisions, in spots that need instant action and accomplishments, and in areas that demand strong control and authority - THE DOER
4) The last group are best in positions of mediation and unity, in storms that need a calming hand, and in routines that might seem dull to others - THE WATCHER.

Now, have you been able to identify yourself which category you belong to? There are also negativity in each temperament that comes along with the package, which are innate in us. 

Sometimes, you get annoyed that people are so talkative, messy, and easily volunteers for work yet never could stand till the end? In the meantime, you also may come across people who are so organized, philosophical and independent that they are highly intolerable of others. Also, there are those who are highly unemotional yet exudes confidence as a born leader and has no need for friends? Among such people, there are also these type of people who are easy going and are happily reconciled with life as they are inoffensive in nature. 

Isn't life just beautiful with the different types of temperaments? How boring would it be if one day we wake up and find that we are all the same, having the same personalities and similar pattern of thinking and doing things? I can't imagine life that lifeless, can you?

"We were all born with our own temperament traits, our raw material, our own kind of rock. Some of us are granite, some marble, some alabaster, some sandstone. Our type of rock does not change, but our shapes can be altered."
