How Wise Are You?
Can such a thing as wisdom be measured? I'm not sure, but I took this questionnaire to find out my wisdom score. The questions are quite interesting. Most of them examine how you feel when interacting with other people and your perceptions of them. I came out with a 4.5 out of 5. That must mean I'm beginning to show my years or my parents named me appropriately.
From what I've heard, your Chinese name is determined by your parents based on what they believe you WILL be lacking. By naming your child with an attribute that is missing from the child's personality, then in essence this makes up for it. Quite an interesting concept, but how in the world would you know what your child is lacking before they can even talk? Beats the heck out of me.
So in my case my parents believed I lacked wisdom (gee, thanks) and named me accordingly. Based on this test, I guess it worked.
I've heard our Chinese name is determined based on what our elders want us to become NOT lack.
I suppose that's the positive way of looking at it.
Michelle,when I first name you,I want you to be a very brilliant person,not that I knew you are lack of it. Every mother would not have thought so before their child is born.
