Young Punks of Sixty

A   L   O   H   A  !

  Mountains look small -

Until you climb them.

"As one grows older, 
one becomes wiser 
and more foolish. "

Francois de La Rochefoucauld 

 “That the automobile
 has practically reached the limit 
of its development is suggested 
by the fact that
 during the past year 
no improvements of 
a radical nature 
have been introduced.”

Scientific American, 1909

" Old age 

is fifteen years 

older than I am. "

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Friends and Martyrs

as much as anybody

" Self-preservation

" When we quit

 thinking primarily

 about ourselves 

and our own 

self-preservation, 

we undergo a 

truly heroic 

transformation 

of consciousness. "

is always a majority,

were being counted. "

The average person says:

"What is mine is mine;

 what is yours is yours."

The sociopath says:

"What is mine is mine, 

what is yours is also mine."

The exceptional person says:

"What is yours is yours, 

and what is mine 

is also yours."

The exceptional person

 in the presence 

of a sociopath says:

NOTHING.

Don't let others

take advantage

of your kindness,

or timidity.

Let your "No"

be "No."

Then stop talking.

If need be,

walk away

after you have said it.

No one can steal

your kindness,

your Aloha.

So give it away.

Feelings of obligation

are danger signs

of a damaged relationship.

Care for the soul

that is in your keeping:

Your Own.

A Dreamy Idealist

A  L  O  H  A !

" Our main task in life 

is to give birth to 

oneself, 

to become 

what one potentially is.

 The most important 

product of this effort 

is your own personality. "

Erich Fromm

" You have a nice personality,

 but not for a human being. "

Henny Youngman 

" Change the self image 

and you change 

the personality 

and the behavior. "

Maxwell Maltz 

" When I am talking to people 
who I feel don't like me 
or are mean, 
I get really shy, 
and I kind of curl up 
personality wise. "


Taylor Swift 

" Life and people are complex. 

A writer as an artist 

doesn't have the personality 

of a politician. 

We don't see the 

world that simply. "

Joyce Carol Oates

" Dreamy Idealists are very cautious

 and therefore often appear shy and

reserved to others. 

They share their rich emotional life 

and their passionate

convictions with very few people. 

But one would be very much mistaken to

judge them to be cool and reserved. They have a pronounced inner system

of values and clear, honourable principles for which they are willing to sacrifice a great deal.

Joan of Arc or Sir Galahad would have been good examples of this

personality type. Dreamy Idealists are always at great pains to improve the world. They can be very considerate towards others and do a lot to support them and stand up for them. They are interested in their fellow beings, attentive and generous towards them. Once their enthusiasm for an issue

or person is aroused, they can become tireless fighters.

For Dreamy Idealists, practical things are not really so important. They only busy themselves with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary. They tend to live according to the motto “the genius controls the chaos” - which is normally the case so that they often have a very

successful academic career. They are less interested in details; they prefer to look at something as a whole. This means that they still have a good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as a result, it can occasionally happen that Dreamy Idealists overlook something important. As they are very peace-loving, they tend not to openly show their dissatisfaction or annoyance but to bottle it up. Assertiveness is not one of their strong points; they hate conflicts and competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with their amicable and enthusiastic nature. Whoever has them as superior will never have to complain about not being given enough praise. As at work, Dreamy Idealists are helpful

and loyal friends and partners, persons of integrity. Obligations are absolutely sacred to them. The feelings of others are important to them and they love making other people happy. They are satisfied with just a

small circle of friends; their need for social contact is not very marked as they also need a lot of time to themselves. Superfluous small talk is not heir thing. If one wishes to be friends with them or have a relationship with them, one would have to share their world of thought and be willing

to participate in profound discussions. If you manage that you will be rewarded with an exceptionally intensive, rich partnership. Due to their high demands on themselves and others, this personality type tend however to sometimes overload the relationship with romantic and idealistic

ideas to such an extent that the partner feels overtaxed or inferior. Dreamy idealists do not fall in love head over heels but when they do fall in love they want this to be a great, eternal love. Adjectives that describe your type:

introverted, theoretical, emotional, spontaneous, idealistic, dreamy, effusive, pleasant, reserved, friendly, passionate, loyal, perfectionist, helpful, creative, composed, curious, obstinate, with integrity, willing to make sacrifices, romantic, cautious, shy, peace-loving, vulnerable, sensitive, communicative, imaginative
