In every conflict, there exists 3 main types of people.

1. The Pragmatist (Chinese Monk)
The Pragmatist takes practicality as the main consideration in every moment of decision. They usually look at the big picture and are willing to make small sacrifices in exchange for the greater good.

2. The Idealist (Indian Guide)
The Idealist usually cherishes or pursues high & noble principles. They are often impractical in their stubborn pursuit of idealistic goals.

3. The Rationalist (White Elephant)
The Rationalist argues based on logic and reason. They are usually good with twisting facts to their benefit.

………………………………………………………………………………………

In every conflict, the Chinese Monk and the Indian Guide are equally stubborn and whoever wins the argument usually depends on who has the higher authority or the bigger voice. On the other hand, the White Elephant usually tries to convince with his reasoning, if not, attempt to confuse with his bullshit.

I am usually the White Elephant and sometimes the Chinese Monk, but never the Indian Guide.

Which one is you?
