Chain mails that make you go, hmmm.

Posted at 05:22 PM Received
I got one of those chain mails in my inbox yesterday. They're always at least mildly annoying, but some of them are good for a personal moment. This one provides an opportunity to think on what's important in your life. Sort of folk psychology.

The Dalai Lama said read it to see if it works for you. Very interesting.

Just 4 questions and the answers will surprise you. Do not cheat by looking up the answers. The mind is like a parachute, it works best when it is opened. This is fun to do, but you have to follow the instructions very closely. Do not cheat.

MAKE A WISH BEFORE BEGINNING THE TEST!!

A Warning! Answer the questions as you go along. There are only four questions and if you see them all before finishing, you will not have honest results. Go down slowly and do each exercise as you scroll down. Don't look ahead.. Get pencil and paper to write your answers as you go along. You will need it at the end. This is an honest questionnaire which will tell you a lot about your true self.

PERSONALITY TEST:

Put the following 5 animals in the order of your preference. Write down the animal names (not just the letter)

a. Cow
b. Tiger
c. Sheep
d. Horse
e. Pig

(Stop)

Write one word that describes each one of the following:

Dog
Cat
Rat
Coffee
Sea

(Stop)

Think of someone (who also knows you and is important to you) that you can relate to the following colors (do not repeat your answer twice. Name just one person for each color.)

Yellow
Orange
Red
White
Green

(Stop)

Finally, write down your favorite number and your favorite day of the week.

(Stop)

Wish for something you REALLY WANT. Look at the interpretations below: (but first before continuing, repeat your wish..)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Item # 1:

This will define your priorities in your life.
Cow Signifies CAREER
Tiger Signifies PRIDE
Sheep Signifies LOVE
Horse Signifies FAMILY
Pig Signifies MONEY

Item # 2:

Your description of dog implies YOUR OWN PERSONALITY.
Your description of cat implies the personality of your PARTNER.
Your description of rat implies the personality of your ENEMIES.
Your description of coffee is how you interpret SEX.
Your description of the Sea implies your own LIFE.

Item # 3:

Yellow: Someone you will never forget Orange: Someone you consider your true friend Red: Someone that you really love White: Your twin soul Green: Someone that you will remember for the rest of your life

Item # 4:

You have to send this message to as many persons as your favorite number and your wish will come true on the day that you put. This is what the Dalai Lama has said about the Millennium-just take a few seconds to read it and think.

Do not put away this message, the mantra will come out from your hands in the next 96 hours. You will have a very pleasant surprise. This is true, even if you are not superstitious. Please do this. It is fascinating.

SEND THIS E-MAIL MANTRA TO AT LEAST FIVE PERSONS AND LIFE WILL IMPROVE

0-4 persons: Your life will improve slightly
5-9 persons: Your life will improve to your liking
9-14 persons: You will have at least 5 surprises in the next three weeks

My favourite number was 17, which makes for a rather large distribution. (Would I get extra surprises?)

Presently listening to:
