In this world you see four kinds of people. The activist’s (style 1): are know to be gregarious, seek challenge, wants immediate experience, open-minded, but at the same time gets bored with implementation. The theorists (style 2): are known think things through in logical steps, assimilate disparate facts into coherent theories, rationally objective, reject subjectivity and flippancy. The Pragmatists (style 3): seek and try out new ideas, practical, down-to-earth, enjoy problem solving and decision-making quickly, bored with long discussions. The Reflectors (style 4): 'stand back', gather data, ponder and analyze, delay reaching conclusions, listen before speaking, thoughtful. Well, I myself see’s my self as a reflector.
Work Life
Yes I know it’s a weakness of mine that I stand back at times. I am known to be the shy one in a crowd. I don’t participate that much but I like the gathering data part and I love observing people around me. Especially at work it helps me to get to know my colleagues easily and to establish my boundaries and makes it so easy to predict the people who are here to stay and who are ambitious. I don’t like to jump into conclusions because I like to reflect my past experiences good or bad before making the decisions which makes me a slow decision maker. I have seen that people who jump into conclusions often end up in the same mess as before. Isn’t it what life is teaching you? To learn from your mistakes. I hate it when some colleagues don’t have the capability to listen to others problems or questions or complains and tries to be defensive. Cummon we are all here to learn and make mistakes in our safety net. And in times of stress people tend to become annoying, trivializing to their colleagues which I don’t really get.
Private Life
I myself have made really stupid decisions in my life like at o levels or a levels, not working with my full potential or dating people who doesn’t actually fit into my criteria of a “good” boy friend. But what heck, past is past and everyone make stupid decisions just by living in the moment and when the time comes when you realize your own mistakes you reflect upon it, conceptualize and again bring the plan into action. Once again u may succeed but with fewer mistakes. This is known to be the special quality of us “the reflectors”. ;P
If I had the chance to way of learning I would still prefer to be a reflector but with the good qualities of a pragmatist and try to be innovative, practical and enjoy the problem solving part. Pragmatist or reflector I hate the long discussions with no fruitful outcomes. Such a waste of time it is

dis article seems to b a copied version frm a human resource book, the sentences are copied too..how can u call yourself a writer if u copy...good work though
Thanks anonymous .As a matter of fact it is about different learning styles developed by Honey&Mumford which explains the similar "copied" sentences. I didnt mention in any part it was developed by me hehe everybody knows that and in my post I discussed how it applied to my life and what type of learning style i had. what u study is a waste if u cant apply it to your life :)
i think there is no position to call as a "copy cat" based on this post to the writer.
because the writer have refered about the theory and based on that theory the writing have been based.
