IT'S AN HONOR TO BE BORN A RAT!


Rats have been given a bad rap in Western Culture, judging from pejorative terms like "He's a Rat Fink!", or "I don't give a Rat's Ass what you think!"

I just read elsewhere that in China, the rat is a respected intuitive creature, synonymous with courage and an enterprising character. Rats know how to come up with solutions, take care of themselves and others without problems.

Besides being curious and intelligent with a vivid imagination, rats are very lively and need oodles of attention (mental and physical stimulation). (hehehe! I somehow possess it all)

To sum it up, the positive side of the rat personality includes being easy-going (checked), smart (checked), magnetic(checked), quick witted(checked) and well-liked(checked)! On the flip side, rats have also been known to be a tad cool (maybe), calculating (hahaha! my bf knows it!), selfish (no, I disagree!), and protective when they're not in top form (yah, often!).

What motivates Rats? You guessed it -- money and status (I always craved for it). Occupations particularly suitable for people born in the "Year of the Rat" include: spy(im good at it!), psychiatrist(hmmm...), writer(isn't it obvious?), politician(others asked me to be one, but id ont like), laywer(it's my dream to be a lawyer!), engineer(I hate math!), accountant(somehow I thought to be one), detective(i think am good at it!), actor(yah! I agree!) and pathologist(why not?).

"Earth Rats" (those born in 1948 and 2008), are said to be very honorable folk who love to do things around the home and enjoy a stable life. Although a titch stingy with their moolah, they are cheerful with friends although are prone to stress.

How bout you? Are you proud to be Ratatuienians? (hope I spell it right!)
