DEFINITELY A TYPE A PERSON

saya memang type A. and i love being aroung those who's type a. yup! mmg ada member2 and even my own sister are typer b person. but still saya suka being surrounded by type a person. saya rimas!! bila terlalu ramai type b around me. it makes me stress. saya jd marah bila org buat kerja lambat. jalan pon lambat. and i'll end up walking alone. saya tak marah org jalan lambat. tp saya jd stress. sbb saya suka benda yg cepat.
saya kena belajar to accept people for whom they are.
and this is what i found in the net. it's SO true.
"Type A individuals can be described as impatient, excessively time-conscious, insecure about their status, highly competitive, hostile and aggressive, and incapable of relaxation. They are often high achieving workaholics who multi-task, drive themselves with deadlines, and are unhappy about the smallest of delays. Because of these characteristics, Type A individuals are often described as "stress junkies"."
Researchers have also found that Type A behavior is not a good predictor of coronary heart disease.According to research by Redford Williams of Duke University, the hostility component of Type A personality is the only significant risk factor.Thus, it is a high level of expressed anger and hostility, not the other elements of Type A behavior, that constitute the problem.Because of these criticisms, Type A theory is considered to be obsolete by many researchers in contemporary health psychology and personality psychology.
that means, i have to control my tye a personality well. or i'll end up with the disease.
maka jangan pelik kalau saya suka marah-marah. atau suka jalan cepat-cepat. atau suka makan sorang-sorang. atau suka kalot-kalot. saya bukan memilih. tapi dipilih.
**happy belated birthday to aunty teh and aunty chik yg mana umor mereka mesti dirahsiakan. hehe.
