A good partner portrait
The other day I was discussing with a few friends about the characteristics of a lifetime partner.One of them came up with this slogan
'They must be cool enough to have the guts to be heart driven'
No bad,we replied but what exactly do you mean by that ?
well he said,for me a lifetime partner must :
-be sporty, physically fit, with a passion for healthy lifestyle,
-have chosen a positive attitude( during the downs of life, on the ups everybody does )
-be driven by traditional values (not when is easy ,but when is hard )
-be psychologically balanced
-not be looking for financial rewards as part of the package (if they desire to be regarded as a partner and not as an employee)
-be humble but (extremely) confident ,
-be emotionally and socially intelligent (as defined by Goleman)
-be a skilful and tactful communicator most of the times (some flaws are allowed)
Besides they would be wanting to understand before asking to be understood,
they would know in depth their responsibilites, other than their rights,
they would know the power of laughter and would use it lavishly,
they would be dedicated to growth ,emotional and psychological,
more than status symbols and material stuff.
Ps.no cleaning or cooking is required if in possession of the above features.
Well,I said,I guess you are 'slightly' too demanding , my
dear,a partner of this kind exists only in fairy tales ....

For a minute I nearly fullfilled your friends fairy tale
I like to be crazy ,,,,,,, sometimes
craziness would be a bonus if you really met all other criteria,
I bet he would be happy to share his madness with yours
if you are Cindarella as you say who is the other lady next to you in the pic? the blue fairy ?:-)
Yep,, Just checked my C.V.
yes people change over time and eventually they get to know each other.They say men get married hoping their wives never changed whilst women get married hoping to change their husbands ...that's why things dont work out
What makes you think
to fill too
So do I,,,,,,
actually i was only introducing you to him so that you can sort out your respective criteria,but if you dont want to,no worries...
you can tell me then, I ll be his agent
pls go ahead my dear
You can be the agent, but no fee's allowed
it's incredible how quickly the word agent triggers the word commission is not it ?
and how fast commissions spreads out that sickening feeling of money wasting dont they ?
on second thought Mrs Ltd, I think I 'll be you guardian Angel then ...
Bet you look cute in wings
I'll be waiting your ideal partner specifications then...to see if my friend can still Live the dream with you ...
with the added bonus
2 arms, legs, a head, with a body to connect things,, Oh and
He can Iron too!!
I think he uses laundries offhandedly more than his beloved glorious iron and actually I think one of his best friends is a lovely laundry owner...
I think it s the right moment to talk about my commissions then
go on then make me laugh more
