Lighter side of life
And now a little something a co-worker of mine brought in. It's kinda like a horoscope thing. This is the entry listed for people who share my birthday, May 11th. By the way, this sounds nothing like me.
"Those born on May 11 have a most unusual way of seeing the world. They may attract undue attention if they voice their feelings in public or act on their fantasies, so they often keep them under wraps. The most extreme of those born on this day, however, will go so far as to unabashedly flaunt their eccentricities; indeed, family and friends may hold their breath when a May 11 person speaks, and raise thei eyebrows after he/she has spoken.
May 11 people run the gamut from the slightly eccentric to those who seem to come from another planet. The on ething they all have in common, however, is their gift of fantasy, which unleashed can run wild. The most successful of those born on this day can make their dreams and imagination work from them realistically. Indeed, some May 11 people have a real talent for cashing in on unusual thoughts, but nonetheless must maintain credibility with the empowered, who can help them succeed. If those born on this day are objective enough to present ideas which may be believed by their listeners, or found interesting or useful, they stand a good chance of receiving appreciation and reward. On the other hand, if they deluge others with a constant barrage of fanciful schemes and unworkable projects, they may be giving free reign to their creativity but misjudging their audience.
The danger is that friends and family of such May 11 people will put them in the 'harmless' category, smile at what they say but rarely take them seriously. This patronizing attitude can wound May 11 people even more deeply than being ignored completely. If others treat them inthis fashion, those bornon this day may begin to lose respect for themselves or even desperately try to appear normal, supressing their real nature in a vain attempt to fit in. May 11 people value that special individual who understands them deeply and allows them to be natural without censure or judgement.
Looking at it from an objective point of view, it is true that when telling stories May 11 people enlarge, embellish, and sometimes even mythologize events and characters. A skillful listener, close friend or associate can recognize a tall tale and separate fact from fiction. The more gullible, however, may just swallow stories hook, line and sinker. May 11 people are capable of sticking to the facts in matters of concern but it would be a great mistake to take everything they say literally.
Usually there is no harm involved in May 11 people making life a little more colorful. They are most often acting without guile; if anything, thoseborn on this day are more guilty of conceit than deceit. They build themselves up because underneath it all they are lacking a bit in self-confidence and need support an daffection. That is the underlying reason why they seek the attention of others in such childlike ways - by telling stories, or acting outrageously. Luckily, their innate charm gets them through most of the difficulties they get into."
What a load of carp :)
