MBTI “ For me kindness is an alien quality; and like a difficult French verb I must learn it slowly, painfully and probably imperfectly. It does not wake with me in the mornings; everyday I have to coax it into existence, breath on it to keep it alive; practice it to keep it in good working order. And most difficult of all, I have to exercise it in such a way that it looks spontaneous and genuine; I have to see that it flows without hesitation as it does from its practitioners, its lucky heirs who acquire it without laborious seeking.”
