THE PENGUIN PERSONALITY
Now you see it,
now you don't. Aggressive yet gentle, outgoing but shy, stable yet flighty -
everyone sees the penguin in a different way. It's that black and white thing:
the penguin only reveals the side that it wants to you to see. So whether you
like this darling-devil or not, you have to concede that it's a fascinating and
enigmatic individual.
Penguins are birds condemned
to live out their days on the ground. Unable to fly, their excess energy has no
outlet save their creative talents and emotional outbursts. Penguins are
poetic, artistic, and intellectually gifted, and as writers penguins have no
equal. But, if unable to channel their impulses in a positive way, the
resulting turmoil proves damaging to their relationships and careers.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A
PENGUIN
Penguins are
deceptively intelligent and are particularly animated when intellectually
challenged. They excel at word games and puzzles but are modest about their
abilities and are generally underestimated by others.
With their misunderstood personality,
penguins find writing an ideal tool for expressing their true feelings. They
have a natural aptitude for languages and penguin personalities dominate the
world of publishing as writers, editors, and journalists.
THE PENGUIN PERSONALITY'S
CAREER
A strong sense
of drama draws penguins to the theater and cinema, although unlike typical bird
personalities they avoid the spotlight unless they're able to hide behind the
characters they play. Once on stage however, they prove to be excellent
performers with their multifaceted personalities conveying the full gamut of
emotions.
However, in many cases a lack of confidence
affects their work. Penguins tend to give up on tasks they were otherwise
capable of and are frequently disappointed with their performance. Still, work
never dominates their lives and they always put their family first.
PENGUINS IN THE WILD
Like all
flightless birds, penguins reside only in the southern hemisphere, and having
found a niche in the wild, frozen wasteland that is Antarctica, most penguin
species move south in winter to breed in the extreme cold. Although conditions
are harsh, penguins can form large breeding groups with minimal fear of
predators, and they are supremely well adapted for this environment.
Surviving the Antarctic winter takes
a great deal of cooperation from the penguins and they huddle together to
conserve heat. As the penguins on the outside of the group begin to get cold,
they are allowed by the others to move into the interior of the group to regain
body heat.

LOVE & FRIENDSHIP
Since penguins have the coldest feet in the animal
kingdom, it's no surprise that within its conflicted bosom there beats the
warmest heart of all. Unfortunately, most of us will never experience this
gentle compassion for the penguin rations it only to family and close friends.
Penguins mate for life and they make their commitments in black
and white. Boredom is never an issue and it would never occur to them to look
outside their marriage for stimulation. However, the flighty core of its bird
personality struggles to maintain an even keel, challenging its partner's
patience and endurance
