20 Questions to a Better Personality

Wackiness: 70/100
Rationality: 30/100
Constructiveness: 40/100
Leadership: 40/100





You are a WEDF--Wacky Emotional Destructive Follower. This makes you a Menace to Society.

Well, whether you're actually a menace depends on how you choose to channel your energies. You chew your fingers and have an addictive personality. Properly guided, you can be enormously productive--otherwise you run amok, stir up trouble, and generally have a hell of a good time.

To your friends, you are a source of relentless entertainment. You often get into trouble, but you almost always find a way out. You are strangely popular and feed off others' energy. You live hard, seize the day, and although your more sober friends would like to see you settled down, you generally have fewer regrets and better memories than they do. Your tenet is that, at the end of the day, one regrets only what one didn't try. You are right.

You could benefit from outside help in balancing your highs and lows. Or perhaps cutting back on the caffeine.

20 Questions to a Better Relationship




eXpressive: 4/10
Practical: 6/10
Physical: 2/10
Giver: 7/10


You are a RPIG--Reserved Practical Intellectual Giver. This makes you a Rock of Gibraltar.

You are loyal, kind, thoughtful and conscientious. You're a good person. You make everyone around you happier and better, even if you yourself are not at your happiest or best. You just care so much about your friends and loved ones that you can't help giving them everything of yourself. It can wear you out, but you'd never let on.

You're successful, smart and fun to be with, but your self-esteem could use some boosting. You don't like conflict, and you don't like demanding things for yourself, so you can feel unappreciated. But then you wonder if you don't deserve to be appreciated. You do!

You have many small crushes, but it takes you ages to get to a serious stage with someone. You get so caught up second-guessing yourself and worrying if the other person really *likes* likes you that you never dare to make the first move. Generally you end up with another clever RPIG who knows one when s/he sees one. This adds up to one long courtship. Fortunately this also adds up to one long marriage.

You would never cheat. You would never hurt anyone's feelings. You are so sympathetic and give so many second chances that it takes a lo-o-ong time for anyone to get on your bad side.

Your only problem is you can be *too* thoughtful -- you can end up worrying and getting hung up over nothing.

You may be a boy scout.

Been Thinking About: Wisdom

RATED [G]

A VERY STIMULATING PIECE WRITTEN ABOUT WISDOM..DO READ



**************************

According to Buddhist folklore, two traveling monks reached a river where they met a young woman. Wary of the current, she asked if they could carry her across. One of the monks hesitated, but the other quickly picked her up onto his shoulders, transported her across the water, and put her down on the other bank. She thanked him and departed. As the monks continued on their way, the one was brooding and preoccupied. Unable to hold his silence, he spoke out. "Brother, our spiritual training teaches us to avoid any contact with women, but you picked that one up on your shoulders and carried her!" "Brother," the second monk replied, "I set her down on the other side, while you are still carrying her."


A Question of Wisdom—The insight of the second monk raises an interesting question for followers of Christ. If we acknowledge examples of moral and spiritual insight in another religion, do we weaken our case for the distinctiveness of our own faith?

I ask the question because I believe we actually strengthen our case by seeing that one of the things the Bible does is help us see wisdom outside of its own pages. By being our inspired standard for wisdom, the Bible shows how to recognize (1) natural, (2) religious, and (3) moral insights in the world around us. Most important, the Scriptures show us how these first three kinds of wisdom can help us see our need for (4) the redemptive wisdom of the cross.

Let's take a closer look at how the first three kinds of wisdom can help us build bridges to those outside of our faith, without compromising the distinctiveness of Christ in the process.


Natural Wisdom—The Old Testament book of Proverbs gives us examples of practical insights that abound in the cultures and religions of the world. Solomon's wisdom shows us how to learn from the animals, from agriculture, and from personal reflection on how life works. Many of his wise sayings illustrate the value of a natural wisdom that can also be found in other religions.

Wise is the one who is not too big to learn from the ant (Proverbs 6:6-8).

The most important battles are fought in the mind (Proverbs 16:32; 25:28).

A benefit of such natural wisdom is that it can help anyone live a more thoughtful life. A downside is that natural wisdom does not by itself give us hope in a world where all of our accomplishments are subject to change and loss (Ecclesiastes 1:1-11).

Religious Wisdom—People of many cultures have found it difficult to think that the wonders of the natural world have no counterpart on the other side of death. As a result, many religions have tried to give their followers hope beyond the grave. While the following quotes are from the Bible, they have parallels in other religious systems.

Those who hope only in this life are destined for despair (Ecclesiastes 2:15-20).

Nothing is more relevant than the eternal (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).

By believing in life after death, people of many religions have found courage to make sacrifices for a better world beyond. But eternal perspectives have also been a problem. By minimizing the importance of this life, many have wasted the earth's resources, waged unnecessary wars, and sacrificed their lives at the expense of others. Religious wisdom does not make people good merely by offering the hope of immortality.


Moral Wisdom—From Moses to Jesus, the Scriptures show that spirituality without morality can result in everything from false gods to religious exploitation of the poor. According to the Bible, moral wisdom is so important that our Creator wrote His laws not only in stone, but also in our hearts (Romans 2:14-15). The result is that the Bible resonates with a universal human conscience when it says things like,

Do to others as you would have them do to you (Matthew 7:12).

Don't return evil for evil but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21).

Once again, however, we are faced with an insight that is incomplete. When we think about the moral wisdom of love, our problem is not so much in knowing but in doing. No matter how much we want to love, we easily slide into self-centered thinking that causes us to hurt and be hurt. None of us gives or receives as much love as our hearts long for.


Redemptive Wisdom—Because we are all wounded people, we need more than natural, religious, and moral wisdom to do the right thing. We need a redemptive insight to help us deal with the wrongs we have done to others and that others have done to us.

This was the kind of wisdom Jesus offered when He stepped into our broken world and said,

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).

Those who are well don't need a doctor, but those who are sick. I have not come to call good people, but sinners to repentance (Mark 2:17).

Christ's invitation to hurting, helpless people was not new. For centuries, Jewish prophets had been declaring that the most high God lives not only in the heavens but also in the dark valleys of crushed and shattered people who recognize their desperate need of Him (Psalm 34:18; Isaiah 57:15).

What was new with Christ was that at the crossroads of the world, and on the center page of human history, God unveiled the secret of His redemptive wisdom. By an act of immeasurable love, our Creator became our substitute, dying in our place, for our sin (1 Corinthians 1:17-31).
Wisdom doesn't get more profound than this. The darkest, most tragic moment of human history became the means by which our Creator could offer us the light of His Spirit, His forgiveness, and His everlasting life.

By the redemptive wisdom of Christ, wasted, ruined, and hopeless people learn to love as they have been loved, to forgive as they have been forgiven, and to salvage as they have been salvaged.

Taiwanese Foreign Minister Defends Claim that Singapore is Size of Pee Sai

This si old news liaos...found it amongst my boh-liao-ness...so here it is

Trust me...below message is rated R(21)

DISCLAIMER

I AM NOT ENCOURAGING ALL TO READ THE BELOW MESSAGE. ESPECIALLY THSOE WHO ARE OFFENDED BY STRONG USAGE OF FLOWERY LANGUAGE.

SO PLS DUN READ THIS K


******************************************************






















Taiwanese Foreign Minister Mark Chen Tan Sun has apologized for any offence caused by his recent snotty remarks, but has defended his claim that Singapore is the size of a piece of dried nasal mucus.

Yesterday, Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued an angry statement saying that “Singapore has a total land area of 636 square kilometres. It is a complete falsehood that it is the size of a mere nose booger. We call upon the Taiwanese Minister to correct this gross misrepresentation.”

However, Minister Chen Tan Sun has refused to do so, saying that his description was completely accurate, and based on empirical data.Mr. Chen said that he conducted the experiment last week while sitting in his office waiting for his lunch to be delivered. He said he had ordered smelly tofu, a Taiwanese delicacy, and had wanted to clear his nasal passages in order to appreciate the tofu better.“So I went to orh my pee sai,” he told a news conference in Hokkien. “And when I finished digging, wah lan eh, it was a really juicy piece. I thought of wiping it under my table as usual, but aiyah, it was already crusted over with plenty of earlier specimens. Then I saw the world map on my wall and thought… boh her hae mah ho.”Minister Chen then described how with a quick swipe of his finger, he planted the booger right at the southern tip of Malaysia.“My pee sai covered Singapore exactly,” said Minister Chen. “So I think my size comparison is pretty choon-choon.”

However, Minister Chen said he was willing to make a gesture of conciliation towards Singapore by eating his words – literally – before the gathered reporters, but most of the journalists declined, some making retching sounds.

Meanwhile, Taiwanese President Chen Shui Bian has said that Singapore should not take offence at having its size compared to a booger. “It’s a perfectly natural comparison when you realize the size of Chen Tan Sun’s nose. I mean it’s f*****g huge, wah boh pian li eh. Why, just yesterday, he sneezed and China accused us of conducting missile tests.”

Meanwhile, Singapore’s Foreign Ministry is busy drafting a suitable rebuttal to Mr. Chen’s accusation that Singapore was trying to “por” China’s “lum par” (being sycophantic by carrying China’s testicles).

Said MFA spokesperson Mr. Mohd Angkat bin Bodek, “We want Mr. Chen to fully appreciate our feelings on the matter, so we’re having it translated it into Hokkien for his edification.”

After rooting around in the rubbish bins outside MFA HQ, TalkingCock managed to find an early draft of this message, which reads as follows:“Na beh, you Taiwan lang better don’t so sia lan (SL) say we por Tiong Kok eh lum par (LP)! Skarly we become too lan (TL), then we kum lan (KL) with you, and make you lan lan (LL), then you know what is lum par pah lan (LPPL)!”©

Top Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Help Someone Lying Down in the Rain in Your Exclusive Country Club

Finally, a list that justifies your laziness and wipes away your guilt!

  1. He may not be a member.
  2. Even if he’s a member, he may have fallen down in the non-member’s section.
  3. He fell down on a double yellow line.
  4. It’s raining, mah, and my expensive designer clothes may get wet.
  5. Some more, I just manicured my nails.
  6. Maybe he peng san because he ate some dodgy chicken and wait suay-suay he pass bird flu onto me, then how?
  7. I was just preserving his image. This is a very prestigious club and it’s very LC to be seen as needing someone else’s assistance.
  8. I was already late for my tee off.
  9. He wouldn’t sign the waiver of liability that my lawyer insisted I obtain before helping him.
  10. That’ll teach him to wear such lao ya shoes that can slip in the rain so easily.
  11. He got no chauffeur to help him, meh? Tsk tsk, the club’s admission standards are falling.
  12. I already showered, and I do’wan to sweat again picking him up.
  13. Let the staff pick him up, lah. Pay such expensive membership fees for what?
  14. Help one person once, and soon people will be falling down all over the shop all the bleddy time. I don’t want to encourage more of this sort of careless behaviour in the club. It’s a real slippery slope.
  15. Wait people see me and all the time I’ve spent building up my reputation as a tough, hard-hearted, ruthless businessman will be wasted.
  16. Aiyah, I thought he was only a staff member.
  17. Singaporeans simply must learn how to stand on their own two feet.
  18. People faint here all the time after finding out how much club membership costs.
