Q: What kind of shopper are you?




You Are a Discount Shopper



You love to get things as cheaply as possible. You live for sales.

It's partially because you like to save money, but it's also because you like the thrill of finding a fabulous deal.



Of all the types, you tend to shop frequently but rarely by. You keep an eye on prices.

Brand names are not that important to you. You know how to have style without collecting designer tags.

Eu fumo diariamente


A lei do tabaco trouxe os fumadores à rua, e trouxe muitos. Só agora me apercebi da quantidade rídicula de pessoas que fumam. Todas as manhãs, quando abandono o comforto da minha casa, deparo-me, não com o ar fresco da manhã, mas com nuvemzinhas de fumo que flutuam na minha direcção. Normalmente, tenho uma pessoa à minha frente, vestida com um fato executivo e gravata a combinar (ou não), com um cigarro entre o indicador e o médio, um gesto muito chique. «Puff, puff» e expira. Expirou e livrou-se do risco do cancro. No entanto, quem é prejudicado é o não-fumador. Inalo o fumo às vezes; geralmente nem respiro quando a nuvem passa por mim. Ou desvio-me. Mas, aí é que está a dificuldade. Como se fosse um video game, salto de uma rampa para a outra e lá está o meu outro inimigo. Ora, não é que o indivíduo que está do outro lado da rampa é também um fumador. Suspiro, cansada de evitar destruir a minha saúde - correcção, de evitar que os outros destruam a minha saúde. Tudo bem que os outros fumem; desde que não me prejudique a mim. Podem se suicidar lentamente, se tiverem essa vontade, desde que não me incluam a mim. Porque eu quero viver. Prova disso? Não fumo.
Saio à rua preocupando-me com a poluição dos carros que inspiro, e agora, adicionalmente, tenho que me preocupar com a poluição dos fumadores.
Se estou contra a lei? Não. Se estou contra os fumadores? Sim. Como resolver o problema? Parar de fumar.
Digam o que quiserem: "...não é fácil. Se fosse, já teria deixado de fumar.", "a minha vida não é controlada por ninguém. Eu fumo se me apetecer."
Tenho a infeliz notícia de lhe informar que a nossa vida é sim controlada - por leis. Não é fácil abandonar um vicío, por isso é que se deve evitá-lo.
Contudo, gostava que um fumador pelo menos pensasse antes de acender o cigarro. Várias pessoas à sua volta podem sofrer de doenças respiratórias (asma, broquite, etc.) - eu incluída no grupo. Será que consegue ficar com a consciência limpa tendo em conta, por ter fumado e expirado o fumo na direcção de outro, que esse mesmo indivíduo pode ter uma paragem respiratória?

You can talk to anyone, and it shows. People are eager to start conversations with you.

You are open and friendly. You are willing to connect with almost anyone.



While it's great to be approachable, there is such a thing as too approachable.

Eventually someone will try to take advantage of you. Don't be afraid to say no or end an awkward conversation.

Q: «Would you make a good spouse?»




You Would Be a Good Spouse 60% of the Time



In general, you have the skills and ability to make a marriage work.

However, you're still a bit too selfish to be a good spouse. You almost always put yourself first.



If you want to have a good marriage (either someday or right now), you're going to have to give more than you take.

Be proactive every day. Work on being a good friend, family member, and partner. With practice, you'll be an excellent spouse.
