Let's Get Organized with Perfect Melancholy

Here's the continuation of my "Who I am: My Personality Temperament" ... to read the intro article, click here.

This article tells the description, strengths and weaknesses of a Melancholy Person...still in verbatim ...in the words of Florence Littauer, author of Personality Plus....
======

Oh, how the world needs Perfect Melancholy!

The depth to see into the heart and soul of life.
The artistic nature to appreciate the beauty of the world.
The talent to create a masterpiece where nothing existed before.
The ability to analyze and arrive at the proper solution.
The eye for detail while others do shoddy work.
The aim to finish what they start.
The pledge, "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right."
The desire to do" all things decently and in order."

Perfect Melancholies are the thinkers. They are people who are serious of purpose, dedicated to order and organization, and appreciative of beauty and intelligence. They don't dash off in search of excitement but analyze the best plan for their lives. Without Perfect Melancholies, we would have little poetry, art, literature, philosophy or symphonies. We would be missing the culture, refinement, taste, and talent so deep within our natures. We would have fewer engineers, inventors, scientist; our ledgers might be lost and our columns wouldn't balance.

Perfect Melancholies are the soul, the mind, the spirit, the heart of humanity.
