At this time it is usually best to work and cooperate with other people. At other times you have found it necessary to be alone in order to find out who you are and the chief purposes of your life. Now you must ask these same questions in conjunction with others. Engaging in group efforts and projects in your personal and professional life will be the most effective way to accomplish this aim.

Socialize extensively and study the people you associate with, for they are a reflection of yourself. What is true of your friends is also true of you, for the most part. Among your friends, strive to establish who you are. Without becoming domineering, you should let them know what kind of person you are, so that you can fit into the group dynamic without violating your integrity.

The Part that I put in italics I found to be most interesting because this was the "theme" for the project I did in my creativity of psychology class last term. I did this really cool rickety, old, bare tress (which was Freaking heavy by the way).

The tree symbolized myself, my growth, strengths and weaknesses (amongst many other things that I wont bore you with).

Resting or supported in the branches were pieces of faces (taken from molds that I had made, of family and friends), these shards of face parts, basically, represented glimspes of myself through those I know and suround myself with. I didnt use whole faces (which was an original idea) because these people only make up a small part of the whole.

I try to be selective of those who I surround myself with. I try to work towards being a better person, one who learns from her mistakes and admits her faults. Which I must say is not an EASY thing for me (goes for most people I'm sure). But lately I feel that this has gradually gotten easier. There is nothing wrong with being wrong, nothing wrong with making mistakes. Nothing (and no one) can be perfect everytime.

If you never fail, or never fall, you will never learn.
