So my Daai Si Ying suggested the name "Trembling Ram" for my staff. It actually sounds quite a bit cooler in Cantonese, but I can't remember it at the moment, so I'll have to ask him what that translates into. Again.
Anyhow, I the basis of the name is the fact that I was born in the year of the ram. In Chinese astrology, Rams are supposedly timid by nature. Sometimes clumsy in speech, they are always passionate about what they do and what they believe in. Ram people never have to worry about having the best in life for their abilities make money for them, and they are able to enjoy the creature comforts that they like. Ram people are wise, gentle, and compassionate.
Sounds like me. My element is Earth, so here's some material my Daai Si Ying gave me, transcribed here verbatim.
This is type of Ram is optimistic and more self-reliant. In spite of his strong attachments to the domestic scene and devoted loyalty to family members, he will still try to maintain a certain degree of independence.
Earth as his element makes him conservative and careful. He won't like to waste money but he won't be counting the pennies either. But being a Ram, he will still find it difficult to deny himself. What may appear as luxuries to other people will be bare necessities to him.
However, just as he plays hard, the Earth Ram will work hard. He can take his responsibilities seriously and will go out of his way to help his friends. It is unlikely that he will ever turn his back on someone in trouble.
Although he may be more adept at concealing his emotions, this particular Ram is also prone to being neurotic and ultradefensive when criticized.
Frankly, I don't know if there's anything to all of this or not, but I gotta admit that that's not too bad a description of yours truly.
Besides which, it sounds cool in cantonese.
Just wish I could remember it.
