BACH QUOTE

"For those who are quick in thinking and acting, who want to do everything quickly and without hesitation. In the case of illness they are focused on getting better quickly. It is difficult for them to have patience when dealing with slower people because they see slowness as wrong and a waste of time. They will do everything to get such people to move more quickly in their tasks. They often prefer to work alone and to keep their thoughts to themselves so that they can get everything done at their own pace.“
