| You Should Be a Politician |
 Confident, assertive, and dedicated - you know what you want in life and how to get it. Stubborn and opinionated, you can stand your ground... even if it's unpopular. And while you have strong views, you never overwhelm people with your opinions. A true charmer, you subtly influence people into seeing things your way. You do best when you: - Work according to your own rules - Can change the world with what you do You would also be a good lawyer or talk show host. |

I am a lawyer (corporate). I am not what they described. Am I a bad lawyer? :-)
As for "work according to your own rules", we work according to the rules of whoever is paying our bills. :-) Just like most other people.
My family also used to say I should be a lawyer because from a young age, I would always be complaining to my mum that she is so unfair (compared to how she treats my other 2 siblings, esp my brother - typical Asian family where the boy is the prince.)
well, actually i think those things are supposed to describe the politician. i don't think i'm those things either.
my mom thinks i should (have been?) be a lawyer because i argue. a lot. do you argue? you see, i am never wrong...
;)
I should be a doctor.
How strange.
Thanks for the comment today. I'd lost track of you somehow. Must fix that.
thanks ann. i've been too much of a lurker myself. and you've been sooooo busy! take care.
I know, it is for a politician but since it also says "you would also be a good lawyer", it would seem that lawyers and politicians share some of the same characteristics.
Apart from arguing with my mum on a daily basis when I was a kid, I don't recall arguing with other people. That seems to be the reputations of lawyers - argumentative people. But I think that apart from trial lawyers, being argumentative is not necessarily a plus. As a corporate lawyer, we "negotiate". Which is a bit like arguing but very nicely and politely. We praise the other side and "help" them to find a solution. If you get too aggressive or lose your cool, esp in Japan, that's the end of your credibility. Anyway, am getting off tangent here ...
Now that I am in Japan, I have lost my spirit/argumentative side. I have become incredibly patient. In large part because when I start arguing here, the Japanese listener would get all flustered and be at a loss as to how to respond. Their eyelids would start fluttering. And they will probably forever thereafter totally avoid me. :-)
