: But don't do anything you think is a waste of time. That will only make you unhappy.

I try to avoid wasting time, yes. That is a good piece of advice!

In the enneagram workshops every type has an opportunity to
speak about his/her own type and the types of his/her family
members and friends. But when he/she wants to talk about the
types of his/her president canditate or favourite filmstars,
he/she is asked to sit down and some other type will stand up
and speak. By this way the oral tradition of the enneagram
remains reliable and valid. So "waste of time" has a clear
definition in the oral tradition. According to that 80 % of
the postings to this message board is... you know.

Writing a book is another way to contribute to the enneagram
tradition. It is called the literal tradition. You can stand
up and WRITE if you find a publisher who wants to validate
your ideas.

So, do you have any relatives in Hollywood?

Micky Mouse? (OK, this was too much. Just a joke.)
