[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

I want to give advice to high school / college students to share my experience/mistakes so that they learn from my experience/mistakes

2. If I have the chance, I would love to serve in the Korean government/parliament to make Korea a better country/place for people to live

3. I would love to use my talents, time, money etc to do exactly what God intended for me to do. I am not sure what this is yet.

I also love to learn about new things and travel and read and care about our natural environment

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I had a great mentor who retired about a decade ago. I work best when I have a mentor. Someone who is innovative, passionate, smart, kind, encouraging and he/she and I complement our strengths. Age does not matter too much

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

By the grace of God, I was very happy to be helpful to church when there was a serious internal dispute in our church few years ago. Protecting our church/members from idol worship and cult is very important for me.

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility
