Negative Minds

In life, all of us have met or will meet someone who has always an opposite opinion from yours. I mean… If you say yes he/she will say no. If you agree he/she will disagree, and so on. Of course, you do not see or talk with such people everyday. But many times you can denote stubbornness on those people; they just want to be different from you and better than you. Many times those people are just “unbelievable” on invoking ridicules arguments to justify their opinions.

Now, imagine you are making a suggestion or asking something to someone and you got a reply like these ones:

Monday I do NOT like…
Tuesday I do NOT want…
Wednesday I do NOT go…
Thursday I did NOT knew…
Friday I did NOT noticed…
Saturday I did NOT paid attention…
Sunday I did NOT made…
February 30th
I did NOT saw...

Try to imagine to listen those sentences everyday, even at night in your dreams (That would be a curse). And try to imagine the same person saying those sentences (That would be what?! A hell?!). Some of you are just wondering “Why do you not buy a shotgun?” Humm… what a terrific idea.

Well, a lesson must be taken from this story. We must learn to say NO too, whatever it costs. Let's try to be different and enjoy the negativism of life.

What's new?!

Morality Test

Results

You scored 40.5 out of a total of 44.

Your score puts you in the highest category of social reasoning. You will see ethical and moral values as important to the needs of society and will appeal to basic rights or values. You might say "Honesty is a standard which everyone should accept" or "Life is sacred."

Conformity to ethical norms is important to you, in terms of a responsibility, obligation or commitment for all individuals, although you may be willing to consider exceptions in some particular circumstances. You are likely to suggest that with entitlement or privilege comes responsibility.

You will appeal to considerations of responsible character or integrity in others, preferring a consistent or standard practice of behaviour in order to avoid damage to social institutions such as the legal system.

However, you will want to see an adjusted case-by-case application of standards for the sake of fairness to all people. Lastly, you are very likely to appeal to standards of individual or personal conscience, as well as of honour, dignity or integrity.

Ascendent in Scorpio


Scorpio Ascendant people have a lot of presence. There is something about them that tells the world that they are not to be pushed around. Their manner commands respect, and in some cases, fear. Scorpio rising people can be quiet or loud, but they always seem powerful and determined.

You either love or hate Scorpio rising people— they are rarely people who go through life unnoticed. In fact, some of them are confused when faced with the fact that they get such strong reactions from others. They seem to look right through people, seeing through superficiality. This can be quite intimidating to some, and intriguing to others. Scorpio rising people, in their dealings with others, look for answers by reading between the lines. Surface details are discarded when they are getting a feel for people and situations around them.

Scorpio rising people value their privacy so much, it can border on paranoia. They have a strong need to control their environment and are experts at strategy. Rarely people who will blow their chances with impatience, they plan out their moves carefully and deliberately, relying on their awesome ability to feel out others and situations.

Scorpio rising natives are drawn to down-to-earth, natural partners. Reliability in their partner is very important. They generally look for complete commitment and have little patience with flighty partners.

Yes... You've got my point. Today it's not a good day to work, at least for me.

To Be an Aries

Aries, take a bow. You're the first sign of the zodiac so it shouldn't come as any surprise then that you’re a born leader. You shine brightly, taking the initiative in everything you do and people see that in you immediately. There are no half-measures with you.

Remember the moon landing? Neil Armstrong was an Aries like you and the first to boldly go where no man had gone before. You have that same fearlessness and certainly aren't afraid to explore the unknown in life.

You’re lively, energetic and daring, and a fighter too. You crave adventure, and love to travel the world. You're a pioneer, and have the ability to lead. People admire your independence and freedom of expression in everything you do.

You could opt for work where you are your own boss, because you hate being told what to do. You know how to make your own decisions and create your own destiny. There might be plenty of stress in treading this path but at least it’s pressure on your own terms.

Achieving your goals is important to you. You know exactly what you want, and have no problem going after your goals. Your style is brisk, edgy and uncompromising. People who associate with you soon learn that they have to keep up — if they don’t, they'll soon fall by the wayside.

You have an instinctive understanding of what has to be done. There’s no procrastination in your manner- you hate laziness. You accept all experiences as a challenge, something to be jumped into with passion and excitement. It's all one big learning curve for an Aries.

You have ample confidence and self-assurance. These characteristics are at the heart of your nature and are among your greatest strengths. Just remember that sometimes this comes across as being overly assertive, perhaps even self-centred.

Your freedom-loving spirit means you like having space to get on with your work on your own terms. This can make it hard for you to be at your best in a team environment — some people misinterpret your energy and focus as insensitivity, even rudeness. You could try to make an effort, when you are working in a group, to let your co-workers see your unselfish and non-egotistical side.

You always prefer to get on with the job rather than to sitting around waiting for something to happen. This means that you are a little impatient with people who work at a slower pace. You can counteract this by remembering to relax and focus on some give and take — this will be an important challenge and life lesson for you.

You are impulsive yet will come up with all sorts of brilliant ideas. Occasionally however, you will occasionally get things wrong, too. Luckily, you aren’t afraid of making mistakes and learning your life lessons the hard way. (There’s Aries' fearlessness kicking in again!)

All these traits that reflect tons of energy, enthusiasm and confidence but you are also misunderstood by others. Some will say you are tactless and indifferent when they offer you advice. From your point of view, it’s a matter of remembering that not everyone is as quick-witted and capable as you; just be aware that you need to be gentle and patient when dealing with weakness or slowness in others.

It would be a good idea to pay more attention to detail, rather than just focusing on the big picture, which is what you instinctively do — this would help bring out your talents.

Try to accommodate the different types of people you have to deal with. If you can learn to balance your patience and sensitivity with your courage and determination, you will discover your life can be magically transformed and spiritualised.

In this life you are destined to take on a leadership position. Remember, that while you are tackling your responsibilities, you are also setting an example for others.

If you can tap into the gentler and cooler side of your character, it will temper your passion and energy superbly, and you will be much loved and looked up to by family, friends and work associates.

If you were born between 21 and 30 March, the planet Mars will be doubly strong for you. It rules your fortune and destiny. You can be very demanding, and not so good at tolerating opposition in any form — you will make those of different views from yours prove their case. You are the Ghengis Khan of the Aries clan.

This increased Martian energy gives you lots of oomph and physical stamina. You need to get involved with as much physical activity as possible to release your frustration.

If you were born between 31 March and 10 April, it makes you a proud and extremely loyal person. You also have traces of the other fire sign, Leo, in your make-up. You’re one of the brighter fireflies in the Aries camp and attract people very easily.

You also impose your will on others, almost magically, without their opposition. Your lesson in life is to learn how to use your powers responsibly.

My favourite part:

Being born between 11 and 19 April means you are endowed with greater humanitarian characteristics, which means you have gentler and added charitable motivations behind your actions.

You run the risk of occasionally pushing yourself harder than your body and mind can handle. You mean well, but in the heat of the moment you say and do things you later regret. You’re a lucky person, though, because Jupiter’s beneficial rays promise protection. Many fascinating opportunities are destined to come your way.

I do not want to hurt anybody but we (aries) are the best. :-p

Geek/Nerd/Dork Test

As sometimes we do not have anything better to do on a Friday afternoon, I took the same test as Single-minded Living tooks. Surprise, surprise...

Your Score: Pure Nerd

82 % Nerd, 17% Geek, 21% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.

The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.

Congratulations!

Take the test here.

----------"----------"----------
The nerd part is not a surprise. The surprise was the score. As I could not believe that I was sooooo nerd, I've took another test:
I am nerdier than 91% of all people. Are you a nerd? Click here to find out!
----------"----------"----------

Well... it is not so bad being a nerd, is it?!

Background

Everybody knows that the most important people are always in the background. The question that we should make to ourselves is “Am I belonging to the background people?!” Answering yes or no it is not a smart answer, since all the answers need corroboration.

Last Saturday I came to the office and an Indian colleague said that he would like to have a conversation with me. He began talking “I just want listen your wisdom about a tricky problem.” I was surprised. I know that some people are counting on me, but I never eared literally such words. The conversation was off record. This morning we met on the street while we were coming to work. The guy with a huge smile in the face said “I’ve sent a second e-mail as you told me, and finally they got my point.

Rewinding the tape… about one year ago, a guy has requested help about a single math exercise, at MOOsaico. Well, I never liked the guy so I’ve remained in silence. The feeling was mutual. I knew that someone will answer to the problem, so I didn’t have bored with the issue. Two days after, the guy comes with a personal message requesting help from me about the same math exercise plus three extra exercises. I said “Look, in the other day, the girl has explained to you the problem.” He replied “Yes and I have understood a shit. I have a test tomorrow. I really need to know how to solve these exercises.” I have solved the exercises with all the explanations step by step in a text file. The funny thing is that the negative feeling between us has disappeared.

Another story (and the last of this post) was 4 years ago. A colleague was in troubles, he was talking about his problem with one or two colleagues. Usually when someone tells a story to one persona, in a few days everybody knows about the story. :-s I was astonished. The guy was completely stuck. He could not have done anything, only the surrounding people could help him. I’ve got the same problem when I started my PhD passing 4 months without receiving a cent. Yes, I’ve helped the guy. He only had a few euros in the pocket. He was buying cheap pickled food.

After a few days an old colleague comes into my office and gives me a big package. I have opened it. Inside there was a statue of an angel. I have asked “What this means? It’s not my birthday!” She puts her hands on my shoulder and says: “You are an angel.

Ok, let’s clean these tears… Each time I remember the last story, some tears insist on coming into the eyes. I wonder why!?

Am I someone in the background?! I don’t know, but at least I feel like it.

A Peculiar Mind

Several rearrangements are in progress on the room were the raw material is kept. It is programmed for today the modifications of the materials belonging to the extrusion division. It was requested my help by e-mail at 9 a.m., since some raw material stored is mine.

I went there, with my hands in the pockets. A confusing crowd was there... perhaps the right words are chaotic crowd... and I have asked:

- What's up, guys?! - And someone has replied:
- Do not be lazy. Today you need to work hard.
- Don't mess with her, she have already moved her material
- said the technician.
- Yes. In fact it was 7.30 a.m. when I have moved 350Kg. Good luck guys. - And I went back to the office with a big smile into my face.

I was alone, so it was hard.
I was alone, but not in the mess.
I was alone and I spent less time doing the work.
I have waked up earlier to manage my time.
Sometimes I just love to be part of 0.01% of people different from the rest of the world.

Extreme Feelings

The result in the post What’s your ideal pet? is quite true. Let’s write a few words about my introspection. :-)

Many people say that I am a strange girl, they never know which will be my reaction in a specific situation and never know in what I’m thinking. Some friends deal with me carefully, they already saw some strange situations, but for me the strange is the usual and normal.

I’m quite rigorous, sometimes I call myself a perfectionist but… I know which my defects are, therefore I am not perfect. If everything is going fine, that’s ok, everybody is happy… but if there is a small thing which is wrong at my point of view, you will need to have a good argumentation, because I will take only 5 minutes to make you feel knocked out. Well, I act in this way when the issues are related with my life, my opinions, my work, etc. When it is related to other people, usually I do not say a word.

One of my defects is to not know where the middle point is. Of course, I do not argue or discuss with people. The KO sometimes is so beautiful, so subtle that I can not avoid a large smile into my face. I know… sometimes I’m a bad girl :-)

The middle point… I really can not be someone with a middle point. I’m just what I am. If you are kind with me I will be ten times kindest with you, but if you are arrogant, you will learn what arrogance really is. If you give me a kiss I will return thousand kisses but if you are frivolous beware and put your shield on.

In love affairs, tell me that you desire me and you’ll feel as being part of the story One Thousand and One Nights, but if you ignore me, you can be sure that you have lost what you have found.

With friends, if you are playing, joking, amusing you can find a partner, but if you decide to take the control and be the master of the situation you will find a telegraph post on your way not allowing you to proceed and control people.

Give me a flower and I will give you a smiling day, try to torture me and you’ll feel despised. Give me your love and I’ll give you my life, do blackmail with me and you’ll find the devil.

When I was young I reacted just the second before for good and bad situations. Today, I keep being impulsive in good situations, but for the bad ones, I take a deep breath, close the eyes and think about in what has happen, at least a few minutes. In these few minutes everybody expect a reaction from me but they do not see any, but inside I’m burning and ready to spit fire as a dragon does.

Yes… I’m aloof, introverted and moody!

What's Your Ideal Pet?

Once I had a female cat. No doubts that I'm fascinated by cats. With no surprises, the ideal pet for me is a cat :-)

Your Ideal Pet is a Cat

You're both aloof, introverted, and moody.
And your friends secretly wish that you were declawed!


Huumm, aloof , introverted and moody... Does these mean that I'm a cute kitten?! Meeooww

A decade of MOOing

Some years ago... I have chosen a nickname or character according my personality. Gold Moon was the name, describing the shyness hidden in the moon and the joy mystified by the light of the gold.

Gold Moon is a fictional character from RPGames created by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman in 1984. By the matter of fact, I have chosen this character only for one reason:

Gold Moon is a healer, and finds satisfaction in helping others, even when her healing power and mysticism both leave she does what she can to help. She had the strength to unite her people under her ailing father, and to later carry the blue crystal staff into the world. She saw her village destroyed and a lot of other destruction during the War of the Lance, but her love for Riverwind and the goddess Mishakal helped carry her past her grief at the destruction she saw to help others to build a future.

After a few years I have decided to quit moo and I really have destroyed (or recycled) everything what I have build until that moment.

For some reason (don’t ask me what it was) I have returned 5 years ago and re-built everything from the beginning, but this time with a new character: Lady Godiva.

According to the popular story, the beautiful Lady Godiva took pity on the people of Coventry, who were suffering grievously under her husband's oppressive taxation. Lady Godiva appealed again and again to her husband, who obstinately refused to remit the tolls. At last, weary of her entreaties, he said he would grant her request if she would ride naked through the streets of the town. Lady Godiva took him at his word and, after issuing a proclamation that all persons should keep within doors or shut their windows, she rode through, clothed only in her long hair.

And these 2 characters resume my life. Basically, to help people at all cost. Firstly with the strength of the youth and finally with the wisdom acquaint along the years. In real life I am the Lady but with the wild spirit of a young girl. Perhaps someday I will return to moosaico, but today I can assure you that my will is to leave everything and everyone behind me.

You can ask which character I would personify if I come back, right?! Humm, I don’t know, but someone likes Hypatia of Alexandria :-) It’s not a promise and yet… you will need to wait a couple of years for my return. Perhaps at my forty age!

And you… just keep MOOing. I'm not going to die, just leaving. You know where you can find me. And if you find who sings this song, I will give you a candy bar.


P.S. No, I don’t want to discuss the reverse of the music.

Intelligence Quocient - IQ

I have received a link into my e-mail and just by couriosity I have cliked it. http://web.tickle.com/tests/uiq/index_main.jsp

And here it is the result:

IQ: 120-144

The intelligence quotient (IQ) measures the ratio of a person's intellectual age to his/her chronological age. Most people's IQs are between 70 and 130. In fact, 95% of all people have IQs within that range.

People who are considered to have average intelligence normally have an IQ around 100. Your IQ is between 120-144. This means that your intelligence is extremely higher than average.


Your IQ score is 136

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.

Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.

How Open Minded Are You?

You Are 52% Open Minded

You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded. Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints. But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line. You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself.
