Geocache Description:




Gon Hay Fat Toy! It's the Year of the Dragon!


If you were born in years of 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024 then you're a Dragon!

 

Personality and characteristics
Dragons present themselves as magnificent yet benevolent rulers who are confident, generous, idealistic and ambitious. In Chinese culture, these mythical creatures are regarded as the givers of abundance and longevity.

Even though they may not care to invest in relationships, Dragons cannot stay alone for too long without feeling desolate. Once they find that special someone, Dragons will guard that person as their treasure horde.

Dragon Strengths
Dragons are upright characters themselves and scorn any hypocritical or dishonorable behavior, and have a self-respecting pride that’s matched by Dragons’ wisdom, generosity, vigor, and talent. They’re full of energy and can attract followers with their charisma.

Dragon people are usually courageous and fearless leaders who’ll never back down from any challenge. This enterprising spirit, coupled with their innate talent, will, without a doubt, make Dragons the movers and shakers of this world.

Dragon Weakness
On the flip side of Dragons’ confidence and courage, they can also become domineering, temperamental, self-centered, and gullible. This last possibility seems difficult to understand until you realize Dragons believe themselves to always know best.

On the social side, Dragons can be prone to desperation in their younger years because they hate being alone, especially in love. They can come off as overbearing when they’re only showing that they care.
