I am an independent thinker. Some people can even go far as to call me a connon-conformist. This
title might worry other people. But it really describes the way I look at the world. I don’t accept
things at face value and find myself in a constant state of analysis as I try to understand and improve
every part of my world.

In my personal life, I feel the need to keep my head in charge of my heart. Relationships or
friendships are important, but once they are developed and everyone understands what is expected, I
feel it is important to leave things alone and focus my efforts on the other issues in my life. In truth, I
am more comfortable working with data and information than with people.

Work has to be challenging, then I can become totally consumed with its completion. When I have
completed a project, however, I prefer to move onto new challenges and leave the day to day tasks to
others. I get hooked on ideas and concepts and can’t seem to let go of them.

the way I feel about things in my decision-making process. People are the most important things in
my life, so I find it very easy to make and keep many friends. Sending and receiving flowers,
candles, poetry, thoughtful notes and other symbols of love and friendships are very important.

to show others what I can do. I have an endless supply of energy to try new and exciting things. I’ll

bore me.
