Okay so I know I used a more extreme example in another thread about how 2 people handle situations differently, but how about these situations?

I've heard that you can judge a person's character by the way they handle tangled Christmas lights or lost luggage.

Or, how would you handle driving behind a extremely slow driver when you were late for an appointment?

How about if its Thanksgiving and your garbage disposal breaks down?

Or you are trying to fall asleep and a fly keeps buzzing by your ear?

Sometimes you just have to put up with it?
Other times you change what you can?
Either way you are still the same person?

If you are an angry person you are going to be angry in every situation. before/during/after
If you are a passive person you will act passively.

Is a person to be judged on who they are or what they want to be?

But if you are going thru this program you will learn how to act in a way that helps you keep a healthy self esteem.

We just need to keep trying, dont we?

I think I may handle some of these things differently depending on the time of the month, LOL.

Here is the correct and original quote:


"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way (s)he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."
