Want To Be Successful? Change Your Last Name.

Hi Mel

Yes, graphology is a fascinating subject. I studied with one of the world's highly renowned and respected graphologists. A lady by the name of Erika Karohs. She is an Industrial Psychologist and has worked in industry for over 20 years.

Interesting to know that you tried grapho-therapy to change your personality.

What we have to watch out for when doing this without professional guidance is that we don't develop any unwanted traits in place of the ones we are trying to get rid of - this can sometimes happen.

However, you seemed to have been quite successful and although you didn't get rid of the acquisitive trait, I don't think that is such a bad thing Mel.

At least it makes you want to acquire the good things in life and hopefully to hold on to them once you have them.

Best wishes,

Susan Tuckett.
