I haven’t been updating my blog as frequently as I would like to these days.

My wireless router is staging a strike, and I still can’t decide if I want to fire him and get a replacement of if I should send him for professional counseling.

As of today, my blog still boasts an incredible readership of 3 unique individuals, yours truly included.

That means, if you are reading this, you are either very lucky or very special, more likely the latter.

Dreams

Today’s OB class was exceptionally relevant to me, I almost felt that some higher powers arranged this lesson specially for me.

First of all, Alex simply demanded for my attention when he told the class about his small research into dreams and what they could possibly mean to the individual.

Throughout his five minutes of sharing session, I had to fight down my own curiosity and to prevent myself to start firing questions at him.

“What are my dreams supposed to mean then?” I questioned myself.

I’ve told some people about parts of the dream I had last night, that I was teleported back in time, and that I ended up having to run away from dinosaurs.

But I never told anyone about the dream that occurred before the dinosaur episode.

I think they are related.

Maybe one day I will find out for myself how they are linked.

INTJ

Today, during my OB class, I discovered for the third time that I have an INTJ personality.

What was even more delightful was that I now know that my personality fits my preferred careers in research and strategy related fields.

But I’m not too bothered by those facts.

In fact, the most thought provoking moment in the lesson for me was when the tutor mentioned the we can even use the results of the personality test to find an identify our life partner.

Though she didn’t go on to elaborate, I inferred that she meant that partners with the most identical set of personality will make the best grouping.

Initially I thought she made sense, but after some deliberation, I decided that it cannot be true. (The INTJ mind is at work today!)

If I am an INTJ, does that mean I am only going to be able to enjoy a meaningful and enjoyable companionship with another INTJ? I don’t think so.

What is more important and practical, for an introvert to find another introvert? Or for the introvert to learn how to express him or herself to others, no matter who they are?

In the same way, it is not necessary that an extrovert gets alone better with another extrovert. (It only means that they’ll warm up to one another faster, I guess.)

I am definitely not an extrovert, but I still believe it is more important for an extrovert to realize that it is the person who understands his or her needs for friends and other company (social life) that will keep them truly happy.

Of course, one might argue that the extrovert will be more likely to understand another extrovert’s need for a wide and large social circle. But there are always a big bunch of possessive and easily jealous extroverts out there……

Eventually, it all boils down to trust and mutual respect.

To believe that a simple matching of personalities will solve any relationship problem is too much of wishful thinking.

I think, for one to be able to find another in this wide world who can understand and tolerate them, is the most precious thing ever that can happen.

May everyone find this gift someday.
