I think I’m good at thinking about things carefully. When I encounter a problem in daily life, I will know how to do it, 1234. I will know the result clearly. I will pay more attention to details of the things. Lots of times, I consider it out of nature. When I was young, I also can consider things . My daughter, she was only 3 years old, she can think about things out of nature too. So I think it’s personality. My husband is a person who is opposite of me, when we met a problem at the same time, we will have different methods to solve it. Sometimes I will tell him, if you do that, you will meet some problems later, and he doesn’t believe it, but most of times, the results are what I say before.

Revised: 

I think I’m good at thinking about things carefully/through. When I encounter a problem in my daily life, I will know how to tackle the problem step-by-step. I will know the results clearly. I will pay more attention to detail. Lots of times, I consider things naturally. When I was young, I could also consider things carefully. My daughter, when she was only 3 years old, she could already think about things through naturally. So I think this skill is a part of personality. My husband is a person who is the opposite of me. When we encounter a problem at the same time, we will have different methods to solve it/our problem-solving methods will differ. Sometimes I will tell him, if you do that, you will meet some problems later, and he doesn’t believe it, but most of the times, the outcomes are as I said.

If we discuss something by group and if we accept it and it change, I will be angry.

If we discuss something/make plans in a group and we confirm it and it changes suddenly then I will be angry. 

If you say you are okay and we all discuss about that and all people agree with the plan then you say you cannot finish it then I don’t like that.

If you accept it and we discussed it through and everyone agrees, then you suddenly couldn’t do it then I’ll have a problem. 

I think I am a person who is rational. When I meet a thing, the first thing I will think is whether it is should be or not. But some other people are opposite. People who are not rational will think whether they want to do or not. Some of my friends will tell me that they will be worried about a lot of things in the future. Then I will ask them’ Do you have some ways to avoid the bad results? If you have, you can try your best to do it well. If you don’t have, why you are worried about the thing. It seems like wasting time. They always agree with what I mean but they say they can not control themselves like me. Rational people like me always control our feelings very well. Even we don’t like someone or something, we are just talking about things. We cannot easily say who is good or who is not good because it depends on different people’s different personality. What I can do is just accept myself and like myself.

Revised: 

I think I am somebody who is rational. When I face a problem/issues, the first thing I will think about is whether it is necessary or not. But some other people are the complete opposite. People who are not rational will instead, think about whether they like it or not. Some of my friends will tell me that they will be worried about a lot of things in the future/future outcomes. Then I will ask them,’ Do you have any ways/methods to avoid bad results? If you have, you can try your best to do it well. If you don’t have, why are you worried about these things. It seems like a waste of time.’ They always agree with what I said but they tell me that they cannot control themselves unlike me. Rational people like me always control our feelings very well. Even if we don’t like someone or something, we don’t put our feelings into it. We cannot easily say who is good or who is not good because it depends on different peoples‘ personalities. The only thing that I can do is to just accept myself and like myself.
