Qingfeng: It is said that personality determines destiny, so what personality is better? Is it better to be introverted or extroverted?

Zhilan: No matter whether it is introverted or outgoing, there will be good or bad things. Extroverts have strong communication skills, good eloquence and speaking, and are wise and open-minded in work. They are suitable for diplomacy, business and politics. But sometimes there are many dinner parties, which is beyond people's imagination, and they are overwhelmed and have some worries. Extroverts are mostly busy with social engagements, and they have relatively less time to do so.

Qingfeng: What about introverts?

Zhilan: Introverts are not good at socializing and talking, and they seem a bit dull and dull. They don’t like to go out and go to social occasions. However, they can work diligently and realistically, not be vain and willing to contribute, treat others sincerely and consistently, diligently think and rich in content, and are suitable for scientific research, invention and creation. Introverts spend a lot of time alone and live more leisurely and comfortable. But then again, there is no absolute truth, and the same is true for introverts. Introverts may also be a bit extroverted, and extroverts are also a bit introverted, but the emphasis is different.

Qingfeng: But I found that some are extreme. Some are too introverted, while others are too extroverted.

Zhilan: Too much is not enough, so you can handle it with moderation. Once the balance is broken, trouble will follow you like a shadow. People who are too introverts may be self-enclosed, while people who are too extroverts will inevitably be false.

Qingfeng: If you are in the subject, which type of internal shape is better?

Zhilan: Of course, the advantages complement each other.

Qingfeng: What does it mean?

Zhilan: Extroverts look for introverts, and introverts are extroverts. If they are all extroverts and are busy with social occasions, it will be difficult for families to take care of. If they are all introverts, they are afraid of getting in touch with social life and difficult things to deal with.

Qingfeng: No wonder many couples in families have different personalities. They seem to be using their advantages to complement each other without realizing it. So how do you understand that personality determines destiny?

Zhilan: The fate of people with different personalities has been reflected in the work or life they are engaged in. Of course, the environmental culture and cultivation that a person receives affects people's worldview, understanding and values. Character, environmental culture and cultivation work together to act on the three views, and ultimately present it in the world in the form of destiny, thus forming all kinds of people in society. For example, you and me, as well as Jin Yu and Jing Xing, who are light on material and are more important in spirit, and life is nourishing every day.

Qingfeng: I don’t understand, it’s like that.

Zhilan: For example, my niece started playing with mobile phones at the age of two. If she had been playing since childhood, she would not hurt her body, would she still learn the mind and thoughts? The future is really worrying.

Qingfeng: It’s better not to mention this matter, but it’s sad to come home when I mention it. So is my nephew. He started playing at the age of one and a half, and his parents spoiled him, and it would be useless to say it.

Zhilan: Due to the general environment, I can only sigh. Whether it is not mentioned or not, my parents are spoiled, what can you and I do?

Qingfeng: Don’t say sad words during the Chinese New Year, you should return to yourself. In this way, you and I are lucky.
