Do You Have A Rich Personality?

I'm having a hard time to arrange and reminisce all the memories that we had while we were in our Caticlan Mission and Boracay Treat, specifically putting the right words to suit the right emotions. Whew! So, I decided to share this test that I took a week before our mission work. Try this also if you have time (www.thirdage.com) ! Be a millionaire, think like a millionaire! (Hehehe... At least kahit dun lang.. Thank God! I know I'll be one of them someday..sooner!!! Hehehe..)
Check out the result of the quiz that I took:

The Contender

Missed it by that much. Does that mean you'll never make it to the Valhalla of wealth, the Millionaire's Club? On the contrary, you show nearly every indication that you're on your way to full-member status. You're like a great and gifted pupil -- full of potential, and well trained. But you still might need to fine-tune your art before attaining full-fledged wealth-master status.

Can You Snatch the Pebble?
Clearly, you have studied the sacred scrolls and learned from the experts. You are a money scholar, and you've set out to build your wealth by the book. But maybe you interpreted the texts a bit too literally. You've got guts, toughness. Somewhere along the line you've learned perseverance -- an essential attribute for anyone who wants someday to be rich.

However, be wary of this gift. The extreme of perseverance is obstinacy -- a trait that can be incompatible with the business of making millions. Don't try to do everything yourself. Avoid being hidebound to the idea that you must overcome every obstacle, prove all of your doubters wrong. This may fuel your resolve but, ultimately, it will distract you from your primary mission: seeking opportunities, taking the measure of their potential and exploiting them. Sounds like a lot more fun than knocking your head against a wall, doesn't it?

The Right Stuff
Your family is one of the many factors in your favor. In "The Millionaire Mind," Dr. Thomas Stanley discovered that nearly all of the millionaires he interviewed for his book said that spending time with family was compatible with wealth building, not a distraction from it. Remember that the next time you're faced with the choice of rebalancing your portfolio or going to your daughter's swim meet.

What's more, you've got integrity. That's good, because on this path you'd be lost without it. Integrity and honesty are not just important for living well, but markers of financially successful people. If, as Stanley's millionaires point out, you do wrong by your clients, your suppliers, your employees, what chance have you to sell them your ideas and gain their trust?

Summary
You're on the right track. Pick your battles carefully and listen to your inner voice. Develop a love for what you do, or find another occupation that makes you want to leap out of bed each morning.
