Because we forget all too easily.

Bloggers Anonymous - Wall Street Journal - is a good article that talks about the phenomena that we see stemming from the anonymity of the internet. We troll, we bitch, we say things we wouldn’t dare to in real life.

Even more than the other Idealists, Teachers have a natural talent for leading students or trainees toward learning, or as Idealists like to think of it, they are capable of calling forth each learner’s potentials. Teachers (around two percent of the population) are able - effortlessly, it seems, and almost endlessly-to dream up fascinating learning activities for their students to engage in. In some Teachers, this ability to fire the imagination can amount to a kind of genius which other types find hard to emulate. But perhaps their greatest strength lies in their belief in their students. Teachers look for the best in their students, and communicate clearly that each one has untold potential, and this confidence can inspire their students to grow and develop more than they ever thought possible.

In whatever field they choose, Teachers consider people their highest priority, and they instinctively communicate personal concern and a willingness to become involved. Warmly outgoing, and perhaps the most expressive of all the types, Teachers are remarkably good with language, especially when communicating in speech, face to face. And they do not hesitate to speak out and let their feelings be known. Bubbling with enthusiasm, Teachers will voice their passions with dramatic flourish, and can, with practice, become charismatic public speakers. This verbal ability gives Teachers a good deal of influence in groups, and they are often asked to take a leadership role.

Teachers like things settled and organized, and will schedule their work hours and social engagements well ahead of time-and they are absolutely trustworthy in honoring these commitments. Valuing as they do interpersonal cooperation and harmonious relations, Teachers are extraordinarily tolerant of others, are easy to get along with, and are usually popular wherever they are.

Teachers are highly sensitive to others, which is to say their intuition tends to be well developed. Certainly their insight into themselves and others is unparalleled. Without a doubt, they know what is going on inside themselves, and they can read other people with uncanny accuracy. Teachers also identify with others quite easily, and will actually find themselves picking up the characteristics, emotions, and beliefs of those around them. Because they slip almost unconsciously into other people’s skin in this way, Teachers feel closely connected with those around them, and thus show a sincere interest in the joys and problems of their employees, colleagues, students, clients, and loved ones.

Taken from this test
Mikhail Gorbachev, Oprah Winfrey, Pope John Paul II, Ralph Nader, John Wooden, and Margaret Mead are examples of Teacher Idealists.

Strange that I do actually wanna teach as my career… haha… seems like I’m on the right path after all.

Today, my mom found a condom in my pocket while doing my laundry. Instead of having the subsequent discussion about the birds and the bees my mother simply asked “Who would have sex with you?” FML

Today, I was having sex with a girl I really like for the first time. After a while I told her I was about to come. Her response: “Lucky you.” FML

Today, my 5 year old nephew showed me green martians he’d made with his new Play Doh set. I smiled and said, “Wow! Now, how about some blue martians!” He looked at me and replied, “How about some blue shut the fuck up!”. FML

Today, I was talking to my parents about feeling insecure with my “beach body” as Spring Break keeps getting closer and closer. My dad proceeded to warn me by saying, “Don’t wear a gray swimsuit. People will try to roll you back into the ocean”. FML

How to be outstanding -  ThinkSimpleNow

I knew better. I knew that I wasn’t average. I knew that my best was excellent. I pulled long hours, worked on weekends, was addicted to caffeine, and within a few month, I developed an immune system disorder called Psoriasis Rosea from stress. It was the drive to be outstanding, in a position that wasn’t fit for me or my interests which brought me to this low point.

I found this article to be very appropriate to how I feel now. I want to do something that I am outstanding at and jumping across this chasm will be the 1st step in that direction.

One of my greatest passions is the english language, the ability to communicate and to bring across ideas to an audience or teach another… From this sprang my interest in Blogging as a way of communicating and Designing as another way of expressing my mood and my ideas…

This article makes very good observations on what is needed to bring your ideas across with clarity. The following are just some ideas I remember off the top of my head…

1. Have a clear mind, if your own mind is convulated, it will translate into your writing(which I am guilty of a lot)

2. Do not let your verbiage run too verbose. ’nuff said.

3. Read more, it exposes you to styles and ideas that you yourself can use in writing

I have come across many beautiful writers, from the Whimsical writings of terri to the soulful writings of a young doctor who I never met… I envy the ease at which words flow from their fingertips…
