When I was about 24 years old, which is the time just before I graduated from my Bachelor degrees, I decided that being a Melancholic won't get you very far. Things such as: I will not ask favor but I will only give favors, or if something goes bad, it is always be my fault and not other's, and as a result I will always try to prevent bad things from happening, and I tend to think that ideally I would always have the opportunity to control over any kinds of happening in any event.
Of course, it is just not possible. You see, the person who brought me to the land of misery is actually Jesus Christ. Give your right cheek when your left cheek is slapped. Of course, this is false believe. And there are NO teachings from Jesus that are actually practical at all, not even reside in my mind after hearing a LOT of church services for YEARS.
On the contrary, only not long after 24 years old, I read about Confucius, and Confucius saved my life. His teachings are very simple and tend to reside close to the middle of situations, and his views are exactly the same as mine, plus, he had built on so many other aspects throughout the years of his life, and he died when he was 72 years, and then his students continued his work by writing the Analects of Confucius. Teaching examples are: if you have a favor to ask, ask it only once. And then let go. Or a Superior man still make mistakes, the difference is that he will rectify his mistake once he is aware of it. Whereas I used to think to completely become perfect and never make mistakes at all, which is obviously very hard.
It made my life much easier, if something happens, I tend to think, it could be my mistake but it could also mean that it is your mistake from letting it to happen.
So I believe I am now in the category of Melancholic Choleric. Recent events have not made me become Phlegmatic just yet, there had been adverse situations that I had to deal with and it is definitely not something to be done with peace and quietness, it requires shouting out and telling people what is wrong with the situations, mostly. Once that is cleared and out in the air, I should be in peace.
However, before my episode of being difficult and loud, I was more like a Sanguine. Many of the things that I said did not matter, and although they are funny, most of them are very difficult to believe. The reason for this is, I tend to think that these will not misled people, which is very important, because it is completely unbelievable, but it brings people to the matter, which is important, because it makes people to think about it. I probably would think that at that time I was a Melancholic Sanguine, because although I was a Sanguine, people would probably know that there is a very important reason behind my sayings and it is definitely much better compared to just being quiet and get very depressed for not saying anything, in any situation for that matter.

This is a very detailed article of this topic. Thank you for sharing this with us and i hope you din't mid if i share this imformation on my blog. The address is www.veesaint.mywapblog.com
Dear Eleanor, I'm in the midst of doing some temperament research of my own and came across your blog. I must say I was incredibly disappointed to see your commitments about Jesus Christ. I'm not at all saying what you backed it up with was wrong, you just made Christianity sounds as if it didn't work. I am a 22 year old college student and grew up in a Christian home, and although I've struggled and still struggle with understand God's plan for my life and what exactly it means to be a Christian in our modern world but with that I firmly believe that God did not out us on this earth to struggle. WE have struggles and obstacles, but in overcoming those we learn about the true nature of God, and that he is a God who wants to give us nothing but prosperity, victory and an amazing life. Your personality type has nothing to do with what being a Christian is all about, I fall under the Choleric-Sanguine temperament, and if anything that has enhanced my life as a believer. I'm sure confusius has plenty of wonderful things to say, but don't say that it contradicts the teachings of Jesus Christ. God made you the way you are for a reason, an he wants nothing but happiness for you, John 14:6 says "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me, and although we might get distracted with other teachings it is important to remember what our goal on this earth is. Jer.29:11 says For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Just remember that. God Bless!!
I’ve read a lot of resources about four temperaments; this information is rather interesting. you may find something useful.
Here
Temperament characterizes the emotional and dynamic aspect of a person’s activity. After reading this information I came to the conclusion that I’m sanguine, because I am cheerful and energetic, but I have unstable mood and I am unstable in interests and hobbies.
Congratulation for the great post. Those who come to read your Information will find lots of helpful and informative tips. Ebony escort brisbane
Yeah your right I just got my information
Fantastic 👌
Your work is good. However, I advise you embrace Jesus teachings. Anything or anyone outside Christ is nothing. Christ in All. Christ is All
read on your blog about temperament which was really awesome, good work.
But I will to comment about the part that Jesus brought you to the land of misery.
I know for you come boldly and say this something is wrong some where, please I will advice you to go in search of a Bible believing and teaching church in your area for counseling I believe your long time confusion will be cleared via the help of the Holyghost.
Also remember that you don't just throw away your text books in school if you were on unable to understand some areas from it... You go in search for those who have the right knowledge and understanding.
Thanks.
