Let's Be A People's Person

Attended "Be A People Person" in the workshop during our recent church camp. The instructor mentioned about the five languages of love which Jon thought it is very interesting. In fact our lives with each other could be better if we could understand each other better. Chinese there is a saying, "Zhi ji zhi bi, bai zan bai sheng". It means winning battles if you could read your enemy well. Well, think we should apply that in "winning" friendships too!

Anyway this is the link to the test:

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

So you guys better know what to do with Jon from now on!

Cheers!
