I love intensity. I love the limelight. I love pressure. But as my approach to the ball in the biggest game in my soccer career became shorter, my whole body was overcome by a surge of doubt. My muscles froze and I could feel the eyes of all two thousand bystanders glued onto my back. The effect this single kick of a ball, something I’ve done since the age of three, was one that would cause a terrible experience. Nothing could compare to the experience that was on the horizon during that humid…

“basic differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment” (“Basics”). While each individual 's preference does partially dictate their personality, their four-letter sequence by no means stereotypes them. Not every INFP huddles in a dark corner writing depressing poetry, nor does every ESTP play extreme sports and involve themselves in dangerous stunts.

Men run markets, crowd alleys, fill every subways car but the very middle one, marked by a huddle of headscarves” and women have to at all times dress in “Niqab a headdress that covers not just the hair, but the face, ears and neck” or “Burka” which is exactly like the Niqab but the Burka doesn’t show the eyes (kinder).

He stood briefly in a trance with a peaceful look on his face that was misleading from the words that he spoke. “Your majesty, the Shadow is indeed alive…but not for long.” “Is this what you told, Prince Gabriel?” The Seeker turns his head to Gabriel, flashing him an odd look. “Seeker!” the king yells, bringing his attention back to him. “Did you speak to my brother before me?…
