- Me as an Ox
-
-
- Are you a Dragon or a Dog? A Rat or a Rooster? According
to the
Chinese system of Horoscopes each of us is born under a different
animal sign,
depending on the year of our birth. As a result this animal personality
determines
- our character and it’s effects on emotional family life,
heath and relationships.
I am an Ox, attentive, funny and reliable. Indeed these are
some
aspects that apply to me. I was born, according to the Solar
calendar, in the
year of the Tiger, but in 1986 the Chinese year begun on February
the 9th,
therefore by 18 days I am an Ox. In addition there are also
some
negative traits that come along with being an Ox. Stubbornness,
impatience, and
over-sensitivity, some of these characteristics I would like
to change.
Many things do not qualify as part of my personality, and I think
that other
- oxen’s are different. Nevertheless I do not consider
myself to be
snobby, ego-eccentric, or negative, which are also features that
define the Ox.
Ox’s are very strong and will work hard for whatever
they want.
They are steady, reliable and will always go all the way and
speak for what they
- believe is right. Once an ox has made up it’s mind about
an issue, no
one can make them change their belief.
Oxen have many different traits, but just because I am an
Ox does
not mean I have to have all these features. One trait that I
have is being
attentive towards others and myself. Therefore you should always
listen
when a person is talking to you. When I first meet a person I
like to have a
good impression on them. However I feel gravely insecure when
someone says
negative words about me. I reckon myself as a reliable and caring
person. Friends are who I love being around the most. I always
try to help them
with any problem that they have; I will also keep any secrets
and make sure
not to tell anyone when I am not supposed to. Another quality
that I think
I got from the ox is being funny. Most of my friends say that
I am funny and
I know when the time calls for a good joke.
A few of the Ox’s traits clash with my character. In
instance I am
not snobby. The reason being for this is that I do not think
that I am
better than anybody else is. Another trait is that I am not ego-eccentric,
I
don’t only think about myself but also others. Last but
not least I am not
negative. Frequently I try to think about the good side of the
badsittuation.
There are also many traits that I do have but that I want
to
change, like being stubborn. Most of the time I argue with my
parents to get
what I want, but this never gets me anywhere. In other words
I would like to
not argue any more and do what they want me to and maybe I will
get my way
without much effort. Unquestionably I get mad a lot because of
my
over-sensitivity, I seem to loose my temper surprisingly fast.
Every
little thing makes me insane. Obviously I need to dispose of
this trait before
I get upset at some one because of something that they didn’t
mean to do.
I am also somewhat impatient and I try to hurry through many
things just to
get done ahead of everybody else. Patience is needed for everything
in life
so I have to definitely work on that.
Since many of the ox’s traits fit me, I think that the
Ox fits me
well as a Horoscope sign. While studying the Chinese Horoscope
I found out
some of the traits that I have, others that I want to replace
and some that
do not employ me at all. Hopefully, these traits will help me
succeed in
the future.
