Poetry

“Seeing the World” by Steven Herrick

Every month or so,

when my brother and I

are bored with backyard games

and television, Dad says,

“It’s time to see the world.”

So we climb the ladder to our attic,

push the window open,

and carefully, carefully

scramble onto the roof.

We hang on tight as we scale the heights

to the very top.

We sit with our backs to the chimney

and see the world.

The birds flying below us.

The trees swaying in the wind below us.                     

Our cubbyhouse, meters below us.           

The distant city below us.And then Dad, my brother, and I lie back

look up and watch

the clouds and the sky

and dream

we’re flying

we’re flying.

In summer

with the sun and a gentle breeze

and not a sound anywhere

I’m sure I never want to land.

Still I Rise by Maya Angelou

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I rise
I rise
I rise.

Quotations

Make friends before you need them .-unknown
Be kind; everyone you meet is fighting a battle. - John Watson

 Never Say Never Lyrics

See I never thought that I could walk through fire
I never thought that I could take the burn
I never had the strength to take it higher
Until I reached the point of no return

And there's just no turning back  *1
When your heart's under attack  *1
Gonna give everything I have  *1
It's my destiny  *1

I will never say never *2
(I will fight) *2
I will fight till forever *2
(Make it right)

Whenever you knock me down *3
I will not stay on the ground *3
Pick it up, pick it up *3
Pick it up, pick it up
Up, up, up, up, up and never say never *3


Ne-never say never *2
Ne-never say never *2
Ne-never say never *2

I never thought I could feel this power
I never thought that I could feel this free
I'm strong enough to climb the highest tower *4
And I'm fast enough to run across the sea *4

And there's just no turning back *1
When your hearts under attack *1
Gonna give everything I have *1
'Cause this is my destiny *1


I will never say never *2
(I will fight) *2
I will fight till forever *2

Hold up, aight? I can handle him *5


Now he's bigger than me, taller than me *6
And he's older than me and stronger than me *6
And his arms a little bit longer than me *6
But he ain't on a JB song with me *6

I be trying a chill
They be trying to side with the thrill
No pun intended
Was raised by the power of Will

Like Luke with the Force
When push comes to shove
Like Kobe with the fourth
Ice water with blood

I gotta be the best, and yes *7
We're the fliest like David and Goliath *7
I conquered the giant *7
So now I got the world in my hand *7
I was born from two stars *7
So the moon's where I land *7

Ne-never say never *2


I will never say never *2

I will fight till forever *2

Skyscraper lyrics

Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching tear drops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending
Like we never had a chance

Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me?

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down *1
I will be rising from the ground *1
Like a skyscraper *1
Like a skyscraper

As the smoke clears, I awaken
And untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better
To watch me while I bleed?

All my windows still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down *1
I will be rising from the ground *1
Like a skyscraper *1
Like a skyscraper

Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here, watch you disappear
Yeah ohh
Go run, run, run
Yeah, it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of papa
Ohhhh Ohhhh
Go on and try to tear me down *1
I will be rising from the ground *1
Like a skyscraper *1
Like a skyscraper

(Like a skyscraper) huh huh huh

Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

Using Personalitly Traits To Profile Literary Characters

Introversion and Extraversion

How We Get Our Energy

The first category tells us how we get our energy. 
E stands for extraversion.  E’s typically gain energy from their direct involvement with people and the outside world. I stands for introversion.  I’s typically gain energy when given the opportunity to spend time alone and think things through.

Extravert Characteristics

• Doesn’t mind being in large groups and often enjoys it
• Likes to know and associate with lots of people
• Prefers social interaction to time alone
• When confronted with a problem, typically likes to talk it out with others and get their point of view
• Known to speak before thinking
• Doesn’t typically have trouble thinking of something to say, and is typically at ease in doing so
• Doesn’t typically have problems meeting new people wherever they go
• May need to practice their listening skills
• Easily adapts to social situations
• Typically appreciates situations for what they are worth as they are happening

  Introvert Characteristics

  • Prefers one-on-one to large-group interaction
  • Prefers to have a few close relationships
  • Needs time alone to restore energy
  • Typically good listeners
  • More likely to think before speaking than extraverts are
  • May be lost for words at times, not knowing what to say
  • Enjoys reflecting
  • May need to get time to self to take things in before fully appreciating them
  • Dislikes crowds
  • Reserved

Introverts can be too self-absorbed while extraverts may lack introspection.
I’s think about how the outward situation pertains to them and who they are, while E’s think about how they pertain to the outward situation.
Introverted doesn’t mean antisocial or socially awkward.  Some of the best speakers and “people persons” of all time have been introverts.  What makes them I’s is their need to be by themselves to recharge their batteries.  Given this opportunity, and especially when put in a situation that means something to them, some I’s can be very publicly engaging.
I’s shouldn’t try to be like E’s and E’s shouldn’t try to be like I’s.  I’s shouldn’t try to be overly talkative and try to be around people all the time.  It is better for them to utilize their good listening skills in order to say something sufficient and relevant each time they do talk. 
Fact: Extraverts make up a higher percentage of the population than Introverts do.

Sensing and Intuition

How We Gather Information

This category tells us how we take in information and what we choose to attend to when perceiving the world.
S stands for sensing.  Those favoring S prefer to take in information in a direct, factual manner.  N stands for intuition.  Those favoring intuition take in information looking at the big picture, checking for underlying meaning and connections with the mind’s eye.  S’s naturally think about what already exists while N’s think about what could be.  N’s prefer generalizing, concepts, theories, and ideas, while S’s prefer facts and tangibles.  S’s have a firm grasp of reality, know how things are, and are realistic.  N’s take pride in their ability to imagine and think of ideas.

Sensor Characteristics

• Good with the concrete (what can be seen)
• Likes to think about what exists
• Realistic
• Typically has plenty of common sense
• Pays attention to and remembers details
• Takes in information in a step-by-step manner
• Prefers direct experience
• Pays attention to their surroundings

Intuitor Characteristics

• Good with the abstract
• Likes to think of what’s possible
• Has an active imagination
• Thinks outside the box
• Enjoys seeing things in different ways
• Likes to daydream
• May be difficult to understand
• Gathers information through intuitive jumps and inferences
• May have unexplainable hunches or a sixth sense
• Complex
• Gets motivated by their inspirations

Fact: Intuition is the least common of the eight possible preferences, only characterizing about 25% of the population.
Sensor: “I like to focus on the present and what exists in front of me.”
Intuitor: “I like to think about the future and what it could or may hold.”
When intuitiors take in information, they compare and apply that information to some type of larger, big picture context - thinking of underlying meanings, envisioning possibilities, and intuiting what these can tell us about the future.  Because of this, N’s often have strong vision, insight, and intuition.  S’s prefer to think concretely.  While taking in information they look at the facts, empirical evidence, and past experiences.  They take the information literally and catch most of the nuances and details that N’s often miss.  Therefore S’s are often realistic, in touch with reality, and practical.

Thinking and Feeling

How We Make Decisions

This category tells us how we make decisions and judgments.
T stands for thinking.  Those favoring thinking prefer to make decisions objectively with their head, through logic.  F stands for feeling.  Those favoring feeling prefer to make decisions subjectively, with their heart, based on their values and emotion.  T’s value justice and fairness, while F’s value harmony and empathy.

Thinker Characteristics

• Wants truth and justice
• Hard-nosed, firm
• Decides with head
• Naturally skeptical
• Critical
• Blunt
• Looks at principles
• Objective

  Feeler Characteristics

  • Naturally sympathetic
  • Strives for harmony
  • Empathetic and forgiving
  • Decides with heart
  • Naturally trusts others
  • Supportive
  • Tactful
  • Concerned with the feelings of others
  Thinker: “There is a principle and outcome to everything.”
  Feeler: “There is a human element to everything.”

Judging and Perceiving

How We Prefer To Live Our Life

The final category tells us how we choose to live our life and go about our daily activities - the kind of lifestyle we choose for ourselves.
            J stands for judging.  Those favoring judging prefer to plan things out and live in a structured manner.  P stands for perceiving.  Those favoring perceiving prefer to leave their options open and live in a flexible manner.  Judgers are organized schedulers who like to come to conclusions.  Perceivers are spontaneous improvisers who delay decision-making.

Judger Characteristics

• Likes to plan
• Organized
• Likes to come to conclusions
• Prepared
• Enjoys finishing things
• Relies on schedules, to-do lists, and deadlines
• Typically more serious-minded than perceivers
• Sees and sets boundaries
• Values a job well done
• Likes to know what to expect ahead of time
• Decisive

  Perceiver Characteristics

  • Likes options
  • Places emphasis on having fun
  • Spontaneous
  • Delays decision-making
  • Flexible
  • Good with improvisation
  • Adapts, goes with the flow
  • Enjoys starting things
  • Can work on many things at once
  • Enjoys surprises
  • Doesn’t like to commit because they never know what may come up
  The perceiver’s idea of freedom is not being bound by limited possibilities and opportunities. The judger’s idea of freedom is being free from having the pressure to improvise due to chance. 

Personality Profile

ENTJ: The Executive

“Challenge Everything”
ENTJ’s are logical, strategic, critical and determined.
ENTJ’s are natural leaders who often have an inner drive to succeed.  They typically have the attributes, (drive), and determination to do so.  In fact, more so than any other type, ENTJ’s are more likely to be the leaders of the world.     
"I like thinking big. If you're going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big."
The ENTJ has a lot of energy, and when a goal is in mind, they will fully use this energy to reach the goal.  The ENTJ has the unique ability of having the vision to see the future and the corresponding consequences of decisions that could affect the future.  (Contingencies), variables, linear and non-linear aspects, and (psychological factors) are considered as well, all while objectivity and logic are held at the (helm) to guide the way.
Bill Gates’ confidence, drive, and ability to work uncompromisingly hard towards his goals.
Ever competitive and striving for truth, efficiency, (pragmatism) and success, ENTJ’s will often fearlessly challenge authority and those in higher positions.  When many ENTJ’s disagree with someone - no matter what that person’s status or level of power or authority is - he/she will argue, criticize and question to their fullest ability.  When an ENTJ loses himself in this drive, they come across as pushy, impatient, inconsiderate and ruthless.  But the truth is that, although not typically obvious, the ENTJ is actually open to observations and new ideas from others.  In fact, they love a good argument, and respect those who have the gall to impress them with their ideas.  Often they appear as being pushy when they are simply just caught up in their love of the argument.
The majority of radio talk show hosts are ENTJ.  ENTJ’s excel in such an atmosphere, where they can analyze issues and come to interesting perspectives and conclusions, while strongly stating their views. An ENTJ is likely to revel and shine when there are strongly felt (convictions) involved in (intellectual), objective discourse.  They are likely to lead the way or at least make impact during the process. The ENTJ will be (blunt), and political correctness is not their favorite game. In fact, going against the politically correct is often something enjoyable for them.  They don’t mind doing it and they like to see the reaction and outcome.
"With uniquely accurate vision and an open mind, able to accurately pound away at the issue at hand while being characteristically persuasive at the same time,"
The ENTJ feels strongly that reason and logic is upheld and that ridiculous whims of emotion are not involved with decisions that affect us.  The ENTJ has the drive to take a stand and see to it that the right decisions are made, which will not involve societal rules, laws, or (bureaucracies) . . . unless necessary.
"Leaders keep their eyes on the horizon, not just on the bottom line."
Very short on patience, ENTJ’s don’t take ignorance and incapability lightly, and sometimes second chances just aren't in their frame of mind. ENTJ’s are always seeking competence in others.  What many don't realize is that ENTJ's are just as hard with themselves as they are on others.  ENTJ’s have rigidly high expectations of themselves.
“Are you taking over or taking orders?”
In film, the ENTJ is seen in the tenacity and guts of Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton’s character from American History X), Detective Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington’s character from Training Day), and Louanne Johnson (Michelle Pfeiffer’s character from Dangerous Minds).  ENTJ’s are also natural leaders such as Leonardo fromTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Bennie from The Sandlot.  ENTJ’s are also represented by smarties Alex P. Keaton (Micheal J. Fox’s character from Family Ties) and Hermoine Granger from the Harry Potter series.
ENTJ’s are of the Rational Temperament.  Rationals are Technical, Competent, (Ingenious, Skeptical, Innovative, and Non-Conformist.)  The personality types that share the Rational Temperament are ENTJ, INTJ, ENTP, and INTP.
ESTJ’s and ENTJ’s have the dominant function of Extraverted Thinking.  Extraverted Thinking is ordered, using deductive logic based on objective criteria and hierarchies.

	More on the ENTJ Prone to being workaholics ENTJ’s stand up to a challenge Enjoy intellect and working their minds You have to earn the respect of an ENTJ (and they will test you!) Has trouble believing in things that haven’t been thoroughly proven or tested Appreciates an open forum of ideas Enjoys theories, possibilities and the testing of facts (often in a very scientific manner) Likes to test others, and wants others to test them (will typically respect you more if you do) Guided by logic Has strong (convictions) Competitive Questions authority Needs reasons and logical explanations behind the demands of others (or will oppose them) Very critical of others
Strengths Very determined and strong-willed by nature Will naturally take lead Clear, cutting vision Good with strategy Can be very engaging and persuasive Very (pragmatic) Very logical Typically ambitious and motivated Strives for competence in self and others Good decision makers Has an abundance of energy Has a good understanding of how rules and structures work and the technicalities involved with them Strives for clarity of thought and (articulation) Great at fighting the status (quo) and unfairness Are very decisive Directing and delegating Great planners	Weaknesses Whether they truly know the answer or not, ENTJ’s are likely to have an answer to everything.  They typically try to avoid the phrase “I don’t know.” May make lofty, unrealistic goals for self that are extremely improbable to obtain May overestimate themsevles Has a tendency to make others feel dumb (typically not intentionally) Others may be perceived as (pompous) or “trying to act smart” Uneasy until a job is finished and finished well May not give others the credit they deserve May jump to generalizations too quickly May rule out great ideas that have been given to them by others just because they haven’t been (articulated) well enough to them
