Comments on the Personality Test Ques1

Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

Comments :

• Down-to-earth? Yes, though maybe sometimes I can be too humble I can't and do not know how to reject & say "No" if someone asks for my help which is beyond my limit. If the favour is within my ability, I will definitely help, no doubt :)
• Straightforward? Sometimes being straightforward is no good. Though I'm suppose to uphold a precept "Not to tell lies", but " 人在江湖，身不由己 ", but I will try to avoid it as best as I can. What about "善意的谎言", if telling the truth will hurt others?
• Efficient problem solver? Yeah, but only for others. I have difficulty solving my own problems. I will be stuck at that particular problem, thinking about it day & night, sometimes until the stage where I have no appetite to eat! That's bad...

The meaning of 'LIFE'

My blog is entitled 'Life Is But A Dream'..When I searched for the meaning of 'Life' using Wordweb 5.5, there are 14 definitions given. Here goes :

1. A characteristic state or mode of living

"social life"; "city life"; "real life"

2. The experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities

"she could no longer cope with the complexities of life"

3. The course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living

"he hoped for a new life in England"

4. The condition of living or the state of being alive

"life depends on many chemical and physical processes"

5. The period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)

"the battery had a short life"

6. The period between birth and the present time

"I have known him all his life"

7. The period from the present until death

"he appointed himself emperor for life"

8. A living person

"his heroism saved a life"

9. Animation and energy in action or expression

"it was a heavy play and the actors tried in vain to give life to it"

10. Living things collectively

"the oceans are teeming with life"

11. The organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones

"there is no life on the moon"

12. An account of the series of events making up a person's life

13. A motive for living

"pottery was his life"

14. A prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives

"he got life for killing the guard"

I think the 'life' that I refer to in my blog is more relevant to Definition No. 1, 2 ,3, and 12 =)
