http://apps.facebook.com/whatsyourper_gzbblz/result.php
I'm 'Idealist Counselor' . I read that Idealist Counselor correlate with INFJ. I used to be INFP. Kinda not used to it.
Idealist Counselor
You are introspective, cooperative, directive, and attentive. You find helping others to personally develop and reach their potential to be personally gratifying as you have a strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others. You often communicate to others in a personalized manner and are positive and kind when dealing with others. You are a good listener and are highly intuitive. You are often able to detect the emotions or intentions of another individual before the individual is aware of them.
You have an intricate personality and rich inner life. You tend to keep your innermost thoughts and emotional reactions to yourself, which can make you tough to get to know. You tend to be private, possibly because your ability to take in the emotional experiences of others can cause you to be easily hurt. You have great depth of personality and can understand complex issues and individuals.
You often prefer to work on a one-to-one basis with others or to work intensely with people close to you. You are happy doing jobs that require solitude and close attention. You are also happy working with others provided that the personal interactions are not superficial and you are given some quiet time in order to reenergize yourself. You usually exert your influence behind-the-scenes rather than being a visible leader.
You often work well in organizations. You value staff harmony, are good at consulting and cooperating with others, and you are concerned with the feelings of others. You strive to make an organization run smoothly and pleasantly. You can also act as a barometer of the feelings within an organization.
Famous Counselors include Gandhi, Sir Alec Guiness, Carl Jung, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Sidney Poitier.

Nice love story 2
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/cambridgeshire/7506169.stm
Love letter jigsaw takes 15 years
A man spent 15 years piecing together 2,000 fragments of love letters to his late wife which she tore up when she caught someone reading them.
Ted Howard, 82, wrote 98 letters to Molly during the seven years he spent travelling Europe as a farm worker.
When she found someone reading them in 1953 she tore them up.
Mr Howard, of Ramsey in Cambridgeshire, began putting the pieces back together in 1993 and has just completed the notes, three years after his wife died.
He wrote the love letters on hotel writing paper as he travelled the UK, Ireland, France and Holland in the late 1940s and early 1950s. But his wife tore each one into more than 20 pieces creating more than 2,000 fragments, some smaller than a thumbnail.
It was love at first sight
Ted Howard
He started by separating corner and centre pieces and progressed, putting them together spending about an hour every day over 15 years.
One letter ends: "Well, my dear, I am looking forward to seeing you again.
"It seems months since Sunday when I last saw you. There does not seem to be a lot more to write about, my love, so until we meet again, I send you all my love, from your ever loving sweetheart, Ted."
Mr Howard said: "I still miss Molly terribly but having the memories helps me through.
Ted Howard spent 15 years piecing together the notes
"The letters brought back so many good times." He now plans to write a book based on the letters which will be dedicated to his wife.
The retired farm worker and machinery demonstrator, said: "It was love at first sight.
"No two ways about it. I was at a village feast (fair) and this girl jumped off the carousel and came careering into me.
"It turned out to be Molly. That was 19 July 1948."
Molly was 18 at the time and Ted was 23. They married in 1955 and went on to have three children and six grandchildren.
Ted wrote his autobiography before attempting to write a book about the letters.
His autobiography, Life on the Fen Edge, is due to published by Bound Biographies.
Ted developed his writing skills by studying literacy courses with learndirect.
His work was recognised when he won the Special Judging Panel Award at the regional learndirect achievement awards.

Life and love under a tree for 25 years
Ranchi, Feb 3
Left without a roof over their heads for marrying against their families' wishes, a couple in Jharkhand took shelter under a tree 25 years ago. It was to be their nest for the rest of their life.
Mangra Mahali and his wife Balkhi, both tribals in their early 50s, have been living under a tree near the Tatisilve railway station, about 30 km from here.
The couple lived in the same village and fell in love. But their families opposed their union and they were thrown out of their homes.
The couple then went to the village temple to take shelter. The priest, fearing a backlash from the parents and villagers, refused to provide them shelter. Left with no option, the couple spent the night under the tree, locally known as the dudhiya pakhar which resembles the banyan tree.
"When we got up in the morning, we had nowhere to go. We decided to convert the tree into our abode. Since then we have been staying here," Mangra told IANS.
For a roof, the couple has covered the branches of the tree with plastic sheets, which protects them from the scorching sun and rain.
In the name of household articles, they possess some utensils, blankets, a few bags and a makeshift oven.
Balkhi even gave birth to her two sons in this makeshift house under the tree. The eldest son, who got married two years ago, has now built his own home. But the couple, who sell bamboo sticks used as toothbrushes at the Tatisilverailway station, refused to move to the new house.
"We have spent 25 years under this tree. When no one provided us shelter it was this tree that helped us. How can we leave this place? Our good and bad memories are associated with this tree," said Mangra.
Their two sons, Soriha and Ajay Mahali, who are daily wage earners, feel proud of their parents.
"They fought bad times with firmness and stayed here instead of running away. My parents are role models for all couples in love to stay united even in bad times," said Ajay.
The priest at the temple said: "We salute the Mahali couple. Out of social compulsion, I had refused shelterto them at the temple. The couple never took help from anyone. With their hard labour they sustained themselves and raised their children."
Said Mangra: "Life was tough for us after marriage. But we supported each other emotionally and fought back to lead a humble life. We feel satisfied after 25 years of our marriage."

Reflection
Self-evaluation -> Failed
Just came back from praying to a Chinese God. I join in the first prayer, but, didn't join in the second. While I was waiting, I observe 5 old people being begger. The just sit there on the road since with their plastic mug. Some of them put their plastic mug out. I want to give them money, but, a lot of thoughts going through my mind.
1. There are 5 people and if I give, I have to give 5.
2. I can only give 20 cent, but, is 20 cent too little for today's standard?
3. No one is giving and a lot of people is watching. Would it be awkward if I go give the beggers money one by one?
4. If my housemates see I give, will they question me? Will they say I'm being cheated or that I'm encouraging people not work?
I took out 5 piece of 20 cents and contemplate a lot. I was giving myself excuse not to give like maybe they are they are not that destitute, maybe they just want easy money. But, I see them all old. I think to myself, who in their old age would want to have such a life of they have other options? Sitting at the dirty road side, begging, without dignity. Those men, when young, probably were strong and can work and must have life a more comfortable life than now. But, they are old now, employment opportunity also less. So, have to beg.
I contemplated and contemplated until my housemates came and I ended up didn't give. And the reason was not because I thought bad of the beggers or didn't want to be taken cheated/taken advantage of. The sole reason was because I was too self-concious, too afraid to be doing something different in front of people and too concern with how people see me.
So, today -> failed. I shouldn't be concerned with what my housemates think of me in this situation. I wasn't doing anything bad or wrong my book. Even if they think I'm stupid and guilible, why should I care, if I think giving to the beggers is not wrong? Even if everyone stare at me, what's the problem? I'm not running around naked.
Conclusion - Thing I need to practice. Not let others get to me too much. Not be too concern with what others think of me because only they know what they are thinking. I wouldn't know for sure. So, why should I stress myself worrying about it, and maybe see the situation as worse than it really is?
Breaking this thought pattern wouldn't be easy since it has been with me all through myself. But, I have to keep going.

Yi Jing
Listening to a radio show teaching about Yi Jing (Book of Changes). I've always been interested in this book.
文化四合院－－易經現代化
Intro on the website.
《易經》又稱《周易》，是中國最古老的文獻之一，並被儒家尊為「五經」 ( 詩、書、禮、易、春秋 ) 之首。《易經》以一套符號系統來描述狀態的變易，表現了中國古典文化的哲學和宇宙觀。它的中心思想是以陰陽兩種元素的對立、統一，描述世間萬物的變化。主 持人岑逸飛會對《易經》作出詳細的解說，使大家能學以致用，讓這部傳統經典成為生活智慧。
Translation
'Yi Jing', also called 'Zhou Yi', is one of China's most ancient documents and is considered by Confucious scholars as the leader of the 5 Classics (Shi, Shu, Li, Yi, Chun Qiu). 'Yi Jing' is a set of symbols system use to describe the changes of state, showing the ancient chinese's philosophy and worldview. It's central idea is the use of opposition and unification of elements of Yin and Yang to explain the changes in the world. Host Sam Yat Fei will explain the 'Yi Jing' in details, so that we can learn and make use of it, and let this classic be a wisdom guidance to our life.
