每日一字：contain （v）包含

每日一句：One day or day one. It's your decision.

 

Are you a giver or a taker?

Now for those of you who are highly agreeable,or maybe slightly Canadian, you get this right away. How could I ever say I'm any one thing when I'm constantly adapting to try to please other people? Disagreeable people do less of it.They're more critical, skeptical, challenging, and far more likely than their peers to go to law school.

That's not a joke, that's actually an empirical fact.

So I always assumed that agreeable people were givers and disagreeable people were takers. But then I gathered the data, and I was stunned to find no correlation between those traits, because it turns out that agreeableness-disagreeableness is your outer veneer: How pleasant is it to interact with you? Whereas giving and taking are more of your inner motives: What are your values? What are your intentions toward others?
