"Feel and show them respect. Remember that despite a style that rubs most people the wrong way, their intentions and often results are at least as worthy as are those of laid-back people"
Can you believe that? I'm happy to know I have some things going for me that are at least as worthy as the less intense enjoy..... Then again, I see intense people as something altogether different than that article addresses.
If somebody bugs me, why would I deceive them. Just because they're the only ones who can carry the task through? Find another way instead of using them.
Understand that they have a purpose, same as you!
