Read my lips

Forget about fortune tellers and horoscopes. The shape of a person’s lips can say a lot about their personality.

People with full lips are usually responsible. You can always rely on them. They are also very decisive; they make decisions quickly. On the other hand, they are sometimes rather bossy. They like telling people what to do!

People who have a thin upper lip and a thin lower lip are energetic. They work very hard and like to take part in a lot of activities. They are ambitious as well; they want to be successful in life. However, these people are often self-centred. They sometimes forget about other people’s feelings.

People with thin lips are determined; they know what they want and they do all they can to get it. They are careful people who do their work with a lot of attention and thought. However, they are often reserved; they don’t like to show their feelings and emotions. They can also be mean; they don’t like sharing things or spending money.

People who have lips with down-turning corners are very generous. They love giving things to other people and helping them. They are also intelligent and understand difficult subjects quickly and easily. On the other hand, they can be sensitive at times; they get upset easily, so be careful of what you say to them.

How musical are we?

What do you do to relax? Do you like watching TV? Do you like reading books? Or do you enjoy listening to music? How many of us actually play a musical instrument? How important is music in our lives? What kind of music do we like?

The survey shows the musical habits of a few of our readers. Interestingly, fourteen people out of the twenty actually play a musical instrument, while only six don't. Out of these, ten people practise their musical instrument between 0-3 hours a week and the other four between three and six hours a week.

The best instrument to play is the guitar; eight people say it is their favourite instrument to play. Another four people enjoy playing the piano and two like playing the violin. Two people, however, don't play the violin or the piano as they think they are too difficult.

Pop concerts are always popular but, in this survey, only eight people say they are fond of going to concerts -- six to pop concerts and two to jazz concerts.

A higher number, eighteen, say they enjoy listening to music as they find it relaxing. Only two people don’t like listening to music at all. These results suggest that we are more actively musical than we think…
