Childhood Experience

I’ve joined a communication workshop on Friday. The coach mentioned our characters are pretty much defined in our childhood at age 3-4.

The coach mentioned her friend is an amiable-type person because he used to live a small apartment with 5 brothers and sisters together. His parents kept reminding him be considerate and not to make too much noise and it will affect other people. That was one of the strong foundation elements of his amiable character. He always want to be considerate and cannot make quick decision.

I try to recall my childhood experience, which I have little memory indeed. With my parent’s pushy, dominant and controlling characters, my elder sister and me develop a contrasting and unique type of independent driving character, mixing with analytical minds to figure out what is right and wrong by myself, whereas my brothers are relatively more passive and amiable. Most people will be surprised to know that I am not the eldest one but the last little child in my family.

Benefits come with costs. There is always the other sides of the coin, Right? Our strengths are our weaknesses. My driving style means I am impatient with slowness my task oriented personality and did not exercise much people skills.

There are lots of things to learn today:

• Never attempt to change others
• Remember to learn to speak in French to the French!
• Learn to appreciate others and all the tiny little things around you!
