Year Of The Monkey

[SunflowR]

On the negative side, the Monkey person has an inborn superiority, complex. He doesn't have enough respect for others. Or rather, from his point of view, he has too much for himself. He can be extremely selfish, egoistic and vain. There is also a jealous streak in him that surfaces every time someone gets a promotion or something that he does not have. He is extremely competitive, but good at concealing his feelings and planning his cunning moves. In his pursuit of money, success or power, the Monkey's prowess is unbeatable.

 

^this is really negative and i disagree. speaking for myself, am not superior. i'd rather say, 'am shy. always behind the cam. i respect other people more. 'am not selfish, i'd rather help and extend whatever i know. most of all, 'am not a jealous type of person. i always give reasons. hmmmmmm! above are opposite of my personality.

With his innate versatility, the Monkey-born can be a good actor, writer, diplomat, lawyer, sportsman, stockbroker, teacher, etc. He is an immensely sociable character who can get on the good side of everyone. He has the rare gift of making you like him even after he has tricked you.

[SunflowR]

In the Monkey's many-sided personality the one quality that isn't missing is confidence, no matter how shy or docile he may look. He will take care to display a good bearing, well-rehearsed politeness and a calm dignity. He has an intense and unshakable belief in himself.

 

 

^dis is not so true to me. depends, too. sometimes, 'am shy. or i just love it to be behind d cam. 'am not a front liner person. politeness, yes, but sometimes, i don't believe in myself. i need somebody to tell me and believe in me.

[SunflowR]

it would be inaccurate to dub the Monkey as a completely selfish person. No, he is more like a child in his delightful preoccupation with himself. He can be totally oblivious of others if they are not directly involved in what he is doing at the moment. He views himself with the same fascination and ecstatic joy that a baby exhibits the first time he learns how to play with his fingers and toes. Observe how the infant reacts when he discovers how to clap his hands. He will squeal with glee and proceed to do the same thing over and over until he masters the act. Totally occupied with his marvelous discovery, he is unaware of anything else.

[SunflowR]

you will find the Monkey showing the self-same unabashed joy at his own cleverness and brilliant accomplishments. He won't masquerade his pride but neither will he be artificial about it. He honestly believes there isn't anyone else around who can top his act.

 

^hmmmmmm! happy of the accomplishments but not the last sentence. i respect other people's work , too and maybe, they are more brilliant than me.

If you really know the Monkey well, you will always find it hard to begrudge this wonderful joie de vivre. It's what makes him so different from others, so enviable at times.

Even in the Bible one can spot a Monkey. Mary Magdalene could well have been a she-Monkey, while the Prodigal Son was definitely a he-Monkey. They both got to eat their cake and keep it, too. The Monkey's not only lucky and clever, but also unsinkable.

Another monkey signing up!

 

Great thread. I can relate with some traits but not with most.

 

Being a piscean defines me more.

[SunflowR]

yeah! Shizuka, thanks for signing up. 'am a piscean, too. 'am contradicting sometimes some of the traits of a monkey. it's not really me.

Throwing insults, accusations and reprimands at a monkey will prove ineffective--even frustrating. They will just bounce off him harmlessly. It's simply unthinkable for him to believe all those nasty things you call him. It can't be true. He will find your admonitions baseless, maybe even hysterically funny. He has such an accurate picture of himself, his talents and his well-deserved good fortune, that you must be insanely jealous to make such ridiculous statements.

[SunflowR]

The Monkey does not lack credibility. His main problem lies in yielding to temptation, because he finds it amazingly easy to devise ways to justify his actions or to solve dilemmas without too much expense. Consequently, he finds it difficult to instill in others a total sense of trust. With such an innately clever personality, others are always tempted to suspect his motives. Often, Monkey people are judged harshly or accused erroneously by others who are below his scope. His popularity ratings could go up and down like a yoyo. Yet, he never seems overly concerned about your present opinion of him, no matter how contrite he appears. Perhaps it's because he knows that he can always get around to changing it.

 

^i agree with this. because i trust people easily, i want them to feel the same way to me. by nature , monkey people can be trusted, or more of my being a piscean? that's speaking of myself. as long as i do the right thing, i don't mind at all what other people would think.
