Char of a Rat

I received this information from my sister and read abit.

I would rate it out of 1-10 for its accuracy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I am the self-proclaimed acquisitor
I am a link yet I function as a complete unit
I aim at encompassing heights
And strike my target
Sure and steady.

Life is one joyous journey for me.
Each search must end with a new quest.
I am progress, exploration and insight.
I am the womb of activity.

I am the Rat.

THE RAT PERSONALITY

The charm of the Rat personality is as universally known and loved as the Walt Disney character, Mickey Mouse. He could be forthright and honest but in
such a disarming manner that you find yourself at a disadvantage.

Remarkably easy to get along with, hard working and thrifty, he will be generous only to those he is inordinately fond of, so if you get an expensive gift
from him, you should certainly rate yourself high in his esteem. However, in spite of his penny-pinching ways, he will never be found wanting for admirers
as he emits such fantastic appeal.(10/10)

On the surface, a Rat person may appear reserved, but this is not so. He is never as quiet as he may look. Actually, he is easily agitated but is able to
maintain his self-control, which explains why he is so popular and has a multitude of friends.(8.5/10)

The Rat person is usually a bright, happy and sociable personality. Occasionally, you may come across a supercritical or grouchy, fault-finding one. But
on the whole, he enjoys parties and other large gatherings. He will endeavor to join exclusive clubs and as a rule can always be found in a close circle
of friends or fellow conspirators. He likes getting involved and is very outgoing.(8/10)

The Rat really cherishes his friends, associates and family relations; at times he gets entangled with other people's lives and affairs because he can't
easily rid himself of strong emotional attachments once he has made them. Still, one can never be exactly sure of how and where he stands. His capacity
to love can only be overruled by his shrewdness and love of money.(9.5/10)

A Rat boss may demonstrate great concern about whether his employees are getting enough exercise or eating a balanced diet. In his heart, he sincerely cares
about their welfare; he will visit them when they are sick and make their problem his problems, yet when it comes to giving them that well-deserved raise
in salary, he will hedge and be a little stingy. A lot of arm twisting and collective bargaining is needed when it comes to parting a Rat from his money.(9/10)

The Rat lady may continually amaze you by being a model of frugality. She is forever distributing old clothes, recycling toys, buying or selling secondhand
items, stretching meals, leftovers and the family budget until they could positively scream. However, she may not care to apply these same rigid standards
when dealing with her precious offspring. If her children know how to get around her, she will find it hard to deny them anything. Rat people are rarely
tightwads where their families are concerned.( lady, me guy so I don't know)

At times, the Rat is decidedly clannish. Maybe there is some truth about safety in numbers. He never worries about having another mouth to feed and may
allow his relatives, friends, etc., to stick around his home and live off him. Why? Because the crafty Rat will always be able to find something for them
to do to earn their keep. Laggards, professional bums and freeloaders will all get put to work swiftly in his household. Charity has its limits. Trust
the efficient Rat.(3/10 for me quite the opposite)

The Rat native keeps his secrets well but he can be an expert at weeding other people's gardens where confidences are concerned. He has few qualms about
using vital information gathered or capitalizing on the mistakes of others. After all, you certainly don't expect him to ignore the knock of opportunity,
especially when he has had his ear glued to the door so much of the time.(5/10 Neutral feelings)

As much as he likes to keep his feelings to himself, one can always tell when he is upset as he tends to become edgy, curt and impertinent. Some are just
absolute nags. Since the Rat person is also active and most industrious, he is irritated most by idleness and waste.(9.5/10)

On the negative side, the Rat person loves to gossip, criticize, compare, carp and bargain - usually over unimportant issues. He buys things he does not
really need and is always taken in by bargains. Maybe it is his accumulative urge. Mementos, souvenirs and hoards of sentimental junk will be found tucked
away in his room and in his heart. He also has the tendency to be the neighborhood's busybody, though more often than not, his intentions are good.(7/10)

The Rat is reputed to make an excellent writer and this is not surprising at all. He makes it a point to know practically everything about everyone in town.
He keeps tabs, has an uncanny eye for detail, a good memory and is incredibly inquisitive.(8/10, writer no, memory and details true)

The native of this year will be successful in whatever he chooses to do because like his sign, the Rat, he will adapt himself to the situation at hand.
He has the ability to cope with difficulties and is at best during a crisis. Levelheaded and alert, he possesses keen intuition, foresight and business
acumen. Adversity merely serves to sharpen his wits and he is always busy cooking up some scheme.( Wah, I refuse to comment but I do have business acumen).

There is no need to worry about the Rat's safety as he always checks out the back door before entering any transaction. This is in case he has to make a
quick or untimely exit from the scene. Self-preservation is high on his list of priorities and he usually takes the path with the least repercussions.
If you want to get out of trouble fast, follow the Rat's course. He has a built-in alarm and defense mechanism that rarely fails.(8.5/10, yes I am very hum ji and Kia su, Kia See)

His stumbling block is overambition. He tries to do too much too soon and as a result scatters his energies. If he can avoid doing this and perseveres in
finishing what he's started, a person of this sign will end up wealthy, which is just as well, as the Rat loves money!(8/10)

Although the Rat is equipped with an inborn ability to sense danger and therefore should know when to stop, he often has great difficulty in relying on
his own sound judgement because he simply cannot pass up bargains and so-called "good deals". Alas, he ends up falling into the same old trap. He will
have no problems in life if only he can conquer his greed and quit while he is ahead. In his lifetime, the covetous Rat has to suffer at least one large
financial blow before he learns that avarice does not pay off. However, it is most unlikely to find a poor Rat native, and if you do, well, with his resourcefulness,
you can bet he will not remain poor for long. It will be totally out of character if he hasn't got a nest egg hidden away somewhere.(No comments)

Being the true sentimentalist of the Chinese cycle, the Rat is not only deeply attached to his children but to his elders as well. Parents with children
born in this year can be sure that they will be well regarded and cared for by them. Unlike the Dragon child, who may demand perfection of his parents,
the Rat youngster will have infinite trust in his parents, cater to their needs and overlook their shortcomings.(11/10)

Aside from doting on their children and husbands, the Rat mother revels in the fact that she is a superb homemaker. She will follow her husband's career
development like his campaign manager, drive the children to piano, ballet and violin lessons and take on so much social activity that your head would
spin. A husband belonging to this sign, on the other hand, can be found helping out with household chores and will like to spend his holidays and weekends
with the family.

The time of birth plays an important role in the Rat's way of life. Needless to say, one born in the evening will have a more hectic and strenuous life
(night Rats have to scurry around constantly in search for food) than his brother born during the quiet of the day.( Wah knn, zhun I am born in the night and very Kor Mia 9.5/10)

The Rat person will be attracted to the people of the Ox sign, whom he finds strong, reliable and appreciative of the devotion he has to offer. Equally
compatible with the Rat will be the mighty people of the Dragon year. He will also find the Snake attractive and intelligent, and may make a suitable alliance
with him. He is captivated by power and brilliance, so the Rat will always fall for the irresistible Monkey. He agrees with the clever Monkey's way of
doing things and the Monkey, on the other hand, will be overjoyed to find the Rat on his own cunning wavelength. Tiger, Dog, Boar or other Rat person will
have no trouble teaming up with a Rat.

He will come into many conflicts with persons born in the Horse sign. The Horse is just too independent and changeable for the clannish Rat. It would also
be unwise for him to marry the Rooster. The Rooster, being the intrepid dreamer, will exasperate the practical Rat no end. A marriage with the Sheep is
also questionable; the indulgent Sheep will probably squander the Rat's hard-earned savings.
