4 personality types taught by Angels
Every person’s road to a success is different because every person has different personality, nature, ability, and sensibility. Therefore; although the law of success could be universalized, it is necessary to consider the law of success accordingly to different personality types. However, many authors of “how to succeed” books write about law of success basing only on their personality types.
If a person has same personality type as author of “how to succeed” book, he or she may like and agree with the author’s approach to success. But a person with different personality type will find author’s methods incompatible.
For example, there are people who follow the motto “go with the flow” and succeed, like a kite being flown high in the air by the flow of wind. There also are people who follow the same motto but fail to succeed, like a little boat being pushed away downstream by the flow of river.
A short cut and key points to success are different among personality types. Let’s take a look at the 4 different personality types observed from Angels and different approaches to success according to each of the type.
Angel’s existance
When people hear the word “angel”, they think of it as imaginary creature. However, according to the Bible, angels are real and they exist close to us although we cannot see them with our eyes.
Angels were created by God, even before He created human being, and they have appointed task to “serve”. They also have duty to serve people.
Angels are not almighty like God, but are always with God to serve and are immortal like human soul.
Normally, angels cannot be seen with our eyes. But when they have special duty from God, they can appear in...

... book of Old Testament, tells a story of Adam and Eve’s sin and banishment from Garden of Eden. Upon Adam and Eve’s banishment, God placed Cherub at the east gate of Garden of Eden to bar their way back to the Garden.
Later, by the influence of Greek and Roman Mythology, Cherub somehow turns into a cupid, a baby with wings on his back. This cupid form of angel is the image of Cherub that many are familiar with today.
Such an image is not described in the Bible; however, four Cherubs that Ezekiel encountered had unique features.
Each Cherub had four faces.
Face of a lion, Face of an ox, face of a man, and face of an eagle.
These four faces of the angel have influence on image of creature from Greek and Egyptian mythology, Sphinx.
Sphinx is widely known that it has face of “a man”, body of “a lion”, wing of “an eagle” and tail of “an ox”.
The Bible contains many stories of people having an encounter with angels. An encounter alludes to an unexpected meeting. The word “angel” is a transliteration from the Hebrew word “mal’ak” in the Old Testament (Strong’s H4397) and the Greek word “angelos” in the New Testament (Strong’s G32). Both words mean “messenger” and describes one who executes the plan and will of the person whom they serve.
To his dismay, he is unimpressed, accusing the old man, “who looked more like a huge decrepit hen,” (Marquez, 2) as imposturous. This statement suggests the appearance of the “angel” was the least of what the priest had expected. To him, “…nothing about [the old man] measured up to the proud dignity of angels,” (Marquez, 2), as he surveyed the worn and grimy feathers of the old man’s wings. He concluded “that if wings were not the essential element in determining the difference between a hawk and an airplane, they were even less so in the recognition of angels,” (Marquez, 3). In conclusion, the priest supposes that the old man is rather a fake than what he'd believed real angels
Most people have heard of evil spirits and things that “go bump in the night.” Numerous legends of the fallen angels say they occurred as the ones who originally created evil spirits that plague the earth. Pointedly, one of the first texts written concerning fallen angels tells of this happening.
Angels are so commonly felt but poorly understood that it is possible to attach many different meanings to them. In poetry, angels can represent a spectrum of ideas and feelings, from awe to hope to strength to fear, just to list a few examples. In "Annunciation", Kay Smith uses the majesty and biblical significance of the angel Gabriel to represent a feeling of greatness and destiny that the speaker let slip through her grasp. In "Black Rook in Rainy Weather", Sylvia Plath uses angels to symbolize the brightness and hope that make an otherwise bleak and dreary life livable. Clearly, angels, like our lives themselves, can have whatever meaning we choose endow upon them.
Angels, and the dimensions they live in, were apparently created before our visible world and universe. (The Bible tells us in Genesis ch.1-2 that mankind was created (or evolved) last.) The number of angels are countless. One reason they are count- less is
The term angel derives from a Greek translation of the Hebrew word mal'akh, which first meant "Shadow side of God," and now means messenger (Jeremiah 59). Angels as an article of faith have become an unshakeable part of our society. One in every ten popular songs involves angels in some way (Freeman 2). They appear in paintings and in museums as sculptures. Our culture is filled with angels that appear on clothing, cards, or as souvenirs, and jewelry. It would be reasonable to assume that one might find the most information about angels in the Christian bible. However , the bible only mentions three angels by name and actually contains very little information about these beings. Almost all of the information we have about angelic attributes comes from the three great Chronicles of Enoch. In these chronicles Enoch describes his journey to the ten Heavens where he saw angels in heaven's penal and punishment area, punishing sinners. His view was that hell existed in small pockets that were distributed throughout heaven. This view was not consistent with the later Church that believed heaven and hell were two separate places. Because of this, St. Jerome declared these texts apocryphal (Godwin 9). However, a lot of material from these chronicles appears in the New Testament. Though much of what we know currently about what angels are and what they do is based on misconception and myth, the concern of this paper is with the genus Angelus Occidentalis. This is the term used to describe a number of angelic species and sub-species in Judaism, Islam, and Christianity (Godwin 7). The term angel describes not only the benevolent forces of heaven but also the malevolent forces of hell. When Lucifer fell from ...
The definition of success varies around the world, but according to Malcolm Gladwell its achievement can be broken down into a few components. Although Gladwell never truly establishes credibility in his book Outliers, he still backs up his proposed theories with reputable studies and sources which intrigue the audience to keep reading.The purpose of Outliers was to enlighten people about the different elements of success while also informing them of real life situations where seemingly less than likely people beat the odds and became the powerful figures that they are today. The intended audience is anyone who is looking to become successful or who is perhaps interested in the idea of success itself and wishes to learn more about it. Understandably, a secondary audience could be high school students who are about to venture out into the world on their own because with this book they will hopefully start paying attention to different factors of their lives and seizing opportunities that they may have otherwise passed up. Malcolm Gladwell talks about the 10,000 Hour Rule and also how I.Q. does not amount to much without creativity. He also speaks of how chance opportunity comes into play and that the distant background of a person still reflects how they handle situations in their present day life. Gladwell’s Outliers successfully informs the reader about the different components that add up to success with probable theories and credible studies to make for an interesting and motivational read.
It’s mind boggling how the size of an angel could have one foot in the sea and one on land. It makes me wonder just how tall they are in their full forms. As far as I know, this is the first time that the size of an angel is compared to a part of the earth. I also wonder what the name of this angel is since every angel has a
...s world within the text of “A Very Old man with Enormous Wings.” What it means for people to care, explore, learn, promote, survive, and be curious about the fantastical world around them. These themes focusing on human nature become a whole lot more significant when you hold them up next to the angel. The humans did not care quite enough for the angel which can be clearly seen when noticing how they took advantage of him by exploiting him for the opportunity that arouse due to their desire for wealth. The family used him to satisfy their curiosity while also treating him like a common house pet. All of these factors are a testament to the many short comings of the human race even when they are graced with something that only a short period of time ago they could not have even imagined and that would have continued to have exists apart from their interference.

Allport defines personality as ‘the dynamic organisation within the individual of those psychological systems that determine his unique adjustment to his environment’ (Allport, 1937). An individual’s unique personality traits and attributes are a powerful indicator of how he/she will interact with the work environment. The difference between average and outstanding employees can often be solely personality related. As the employee is the most valuable asset to the company, ‘selecting the right employee during the process is critical’ (Carbery and Cross, 2013, pp. 41-53)
The attributes of angels I choice were, God created them, they do not die, they have no sexual orientation, they do not receive salvation and angels stand in the presence of God. The angel’s primary activity is to do the will of God. Satan has many names; I will describe adversary and deceiver and the devil. The four biblical truths of Satan are that he is a tempter, the evil one, he is our enemy, and he is the supreme deceiver. To fight the ways of Satan, I must walk daily with God, in His word, in prayer and thought and deed.
Many Theologians have found that the subject of angels is really a very difficult subject to discuss and prove. “Because, while there is abundant mention of angels in the Bible, the nature of this revelation is without the same kind of explicit description we often find with other subjects developed in Scripture: Every reference to angels is incidental to some other topic” (Keathley). Many people in this world believe in angels, but every time they are mentioned they have been bringing a message from God to people in this world.
David Almond has thoroughly and clearly displayed the theme. Unanswered question always leaves a person’s imagination whirring with theories, belief and disbelief. We can only imagine what angels look like, but what they do is clear. Most people use their ideas and dreams to make their world better by turning them into reality. So dream, the world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.
The doctrine of angels is called “Angelology” which is one of the ten major categories of theology and angels are a part of those ten studies. Scholars have many views about angels
