Let's look at the fascinating subject of “birth order” in our Who Am I series. Did you know that “where” you are born in the family order helps determine the make up of your personality. There are many books written on the subject, one I personally like is “Birth Order”, by Kevin Leman. Many of these thoughts are taken from his book First born’s and only children, are a special breed. Did you know that out of 23 astronauts 21 of these were first born's? These special people are definitely “high achiev- ers”. They choose professions that take precision and strong powers of concentration and determination. We often call them “little adults”, they are the ones lefi in charge. I remember thinking how per- fect our first child was going to be, she would obey instantly and pever say ‘no’ to us. I wasn't a tyrant, I just wanted to be the per- fect parent and raise the perfect child. That's right, even though I was the ninth child born in a fam- ily of ten, I was in every way a “first born”. (We were bom eight after the eighth child). I was a twin, but I was the leader, ry TRAIL | AUTO BODY | Complete Body & Paint Facilities Auto Glass Replacement Towing 2316 - 6th Ave., Castlegar 365-5114 the one in charge, the bossy one. I worked harder, got the higher grades in school, won most of the first prizes in sports and was probably a total pain to my twin GAETZ brother! I am not sure how quick- ly it happened but eventually more was expected of me and I gave 110 percent. If first born’s have one cover it is called “per- fectionism™. It is what makes them good at what they do, it is what drives everybody else crazy Fortunately, I gave up that curse a long time ago. I wear too many hats to be perfect in any of them. Here are some tips on how to break out of the perfectionist pat- tern of a first born or only child and enjoy life a lot more. 1. Take smaller bites of life Don't take on so much. Usually there is no time left over for you. I’m working on this one. 2. Work on saying no. Many of us are born to please! We want approval above all else. Know your limits, you can't do it all. And more importantly, who wants to do it all. 3. Perfectionism is a great way to commit slow suicide. Do a little less and do it a little less perfect. You will have to learn to walk away from the job and say, “It is OK”. Practice makes perfect, oops, I mean less than perfect! 4. Learn how-to have fun. We are too conscientious and too busy. Give it up and let others help do it. 5. Don’t give up all your won- derful traits, like making lists and being organized and getting the job done. The world needs leaders Life is too short not to have fun. So relax!
