Personality Types: Understanding Self
and Others
Elena Lustina
We live in a human world
But often there is no peace
Not within ourselves
Not with those who are close to us
Not with our colleagues
Why don’t people understand each other?
We are different!
With our own thoughts, values, and personalities
And everyone sees the world differently
Let’s understand each other!
So we can love, enjoy, and be happy
Understand yourself
Understand the other
