type 2

Enneagram Type 2:
Giver, Caretaker, Helper, Nurturer, Advisor or Manipulator

Overview
You want to be appealing, giving, caring and heartfelt. More importantly, you want to be needed, considered important and appreciated for your efforts. You see yourself as approachable, nurturing and thoughtful. You would like others to see you as empathetic, supportive and altruistic. Your idealized image is that you are a loving and helpful person.

You have a warm, sociable and enthusiastic personality. You want to be liked and are always ready with an easy smile, helpful advice or a friendly compliment. Relationship orientated, you reach out to others and are often the first one to lend a hand. A good listener, you focus on the needs and concerns of others. You usually know what people need and feel, and enjoy taking on the kind of role where you can show your giving and generous nature. You have developed the gift of flattery to the level of an art form because you see how this skill can be a currency for creating intimate rapport.

Secretly, you can feel needy and vulnerable feeling that you must earn the right to be loved. Avoiding a deep sense of loneliness, you find ways to connect to and be of service to others. You have an innate sense of what to say or do to make people feel seen and admired. Like a fairy godmother or godfather, you like to do special things for people and surprise them with unexpected gifts. You take note of others’ desires and try to fulfill them. You take pride in your ability to comfort and support others.

You find it gratifying to be of service and are drawn to people that have power and influence. You enjoy being the power behind the throne and make yourself appealing by being indispensable. Always ready to be helpful, others often depend on you. You have innate people skills and value interpersonal relationships above all else. Your extraordinary insight about what people need and your ability to create mutual trust and affinity are rare gifts. You love to be instrumental in helping others achieve their full potential.

Need
You need approval, recognition and admiration. Most importantly, you want to be seen as a ‘special’ friend. You go out of your way to notice what is needed and feel motivated when others acknowledge your efforts and express their appreciation. Sometimes, you are so focused on others, that you don’t pay attention to your own unmet needs and feelings. You may feel that in order to have your needs met by others, you must meet their needs first.

Avoid
You avoid appearing needy or useless. Secretly, you fear being ignored and don’t want to feel left out or be seen as inconsequential. To be liked, you avoid saying or doing anything that is off-putting or unflattering. You feel much more comfortable giving than receiving. To let yourself receive, you would have to express your own desires, which feels very vulnerable to you. Focused on the needs of others, you may repress your own needs and feel taken for granted.

Virtue
Demonstrative and friendly, you are exceptionally gifted at creating and maintaining relationships. Emotionally astute, you have a way of creating rapport with even the most difficult people. Softhearted and sympathetic, you are sensitive to others and always seem to notice when someone feels sad or is in distress. You intuitively know what is needed in any given situation and always seem to know just the right thing to say and do. Your ability to sense and satisfy other’s emotional needs is second to none. You also have the ability to match others and work well in tandem with them.

Vice
Your vice is pride, believing that you are the one who sees and can give people what they need and want. Though you might not realize it, you may give to people with strings attached. When you offer unsolicited advice or give compulsively, others may perceive you as bossy, overly demonstrative or manipulative. In an effort to have your needs met, you may promise more than you can deliver or deliver more than you promise. Unconsciously, you may feel needy and want to be taken care of by others. You can become emotional, sullen or overly dramatic, suffering from psychosomatic illnesses.

Attention
Your attention goes outward toward being helpful, flattering others, meeting people’s needs and finding someone who can meet your needs. You may be unaware of how much time and energy you spend giving until you feel sad that others are not able to do the same for you.

Spiritual Path
Your spiritual journey is about reclaiming your sense of humility. The pride you feel in giving to others may keep you from learning how to receive or from realizing that you may be giving to get. Giving with expectation is a veiled form of taking. True altruism is selfless. Spiritual growth will come to you when you can acknowledge your own needs and learn to give freely without expecting anything in return.

Mantra
Being helpful to others is how you feel good about yourself. Sometimes, you may be so focused on meeting the needs of others that you do not pay attention to your own. If you feel compelled to offer someone a glass of water, consider that you may actually be the one who is thirsty.

Wing
If you are the Enneagram Type 2 with the 1 Wing, you desire to appear elegant. You see yourself as classic, graceful, healthy, appropriate and efficient.

If you are the Enneagram Type 2 with the 3 Wing, you desire to appear attractive. You see yourself as vivacious, varied, playful, fun and glamorous.

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's Speech during the Inauguration of Asian Development Bank (ADB) Philippines Country Office (PHCO)
1 March 2001, ADBHQ, Mandaluyong City

Thank you very much.

Mr. Chino, Mr. Hecker, our members of the cabinet, officials of the bank and staff, members of media, other guests, ladies and gentlemen:

I'm happy to be here in our inaugural rites today. This marks a special moment in the history of the partnership between the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Philippine government.

The ADB has had a long special role and interest in Philippine development, as evidenced by its being the country's second largest source of developmental funds. Our country has been one of ADB's more active clients, as mentioned by Mr. Chino borrowing about US$ 250 million annually and ranking as the 8th largest shareholder in ADB among it's regional members.

Overall, the Philippines is ADB's 11th largest shareholder with 84,304 shares or 2.43 percent of the total shares.

And I'm very happy on a personal basis, that the ADB Founding Meeting took place when my father the late President Diosdado Macapagal was president of the Philippines. And at that time in 1965 the Philippines lobbied very hard to have the ADB located here in the Philippines. And that is why the Philippine government provided that land in Roxas Boulevard so that ADB would be located here.

So not only is there a long history of friendship between ADB and the Philippines on a personal basis. I also have that long memorable history with the ADB.

And since joining the ADB, the Philippines as mentioned by Mr. Tadao and I'm very grateful that we have received nearly US$ 8 billion in loans, and more than 50 percent of these loans have been utilized for projects in agriculture, energy, and the development of natural resources.

This is not surprising. Because the primary role of the ADB is poverty alleviation in the Asian region. This is also one of the major goals of all past administrations of our country but especially in this administration, because we want to be ambitious and we want to be able to win the battle against poverty within a decade at last. This vow we will try to fulfill through our four point national agenda characterized by:

1. an economic philosophy of free enterprise adapted to the knowledge-based economy of the 21st century

2. a strong social and sectoral bias to balance our economic development plan

3. a modernized agricultural sector founded on social equity

4. the improvement of moral standards in government and in society

These guidelines we have set for our national agenda are not mutually exclusive. They are linked and interdependent as each one helps the other to be achievable.

Our ultimate vision of winning the war against poverty will be achieved by creating an environment conducive to investments and global competition and allow growth and economic expansion to take place, while yet making sure that the disadvantaged sectors will be transformed into active players and contributors, and not just objects or passive beneficiaries of growth.

Given the large amount of financial and technical support that the ADB has afforded to the Philippines, and may I thank ADB for its support when I was still the Secretary of Social Welfare and Development for my department our efforts have been consistently met with encouraging results.

The quality of the loans that have been channeled through the ADB to pump-prime our nation's economy has brought out great benefits to our people in terms of expanded opportunities.

Infrastructure projects like farm to market roads, rural electrification, and environmental projects have enriched our people's lives by standards beyond monetary considerations. Those standards have provided not only convenience, they have enhanced the potentials of many Philippine communities.

A good example is the 5-year ADB funded loan for the Pasig River Environmental Management and Rehabilitation Sector Development Program. Since the start of the river's rehabilitation, the state of the river has improved. We can now tolerate the breeze wafting from the Pasig River, and hopefully, in a few years the river can again be host to various life forms and more livelihood and recreational activities.

Indeed, The ADB has played a vital role in our country's continued quest to achieve national progress and economic prosperity.

The presence of the ADB headquarters here and again I'm very grateful that, that was occasioned by my father's great advocacy has given the Philippines the seal of approval so to speak, not only before the regional economic community but the whole world as well.

The ADB's continued stay has provided us extra confidence, because you have guaranteed before the international community that, our economy even if there are times when we have financial troubles, our economy remains resilient, stable and growing. This confidence is further re-enforced by the opening of this office -- the ADB'S Philippines Country Office (PhCO).

The establishment of the Philippines Country Office will improve the ADBs responsiveness in its Philippine operations. It will facilitate the process of strengthening it's client orientation by establishing a streamlined and coordinated operational communication channel, thus enabling the ADB to be more responsive to developmental issues and therefore be closer to its goal.

And for our Philippine officials they don't have the maze of that other wing in the building. I never could find my way around everytime I always need a guide. But this time it will be simpler to come to this office.

The PHCO will provide ADB's Philippine operations with a sharper focus, better coordination and more effective representation through a heightened level of policy dialogue with the government and the key actors in civil society.

I thank you also Mr. Chino and Mr. Hecker for pointing out that one of your priorities is -- addressing the high poverty rate in Mindanao. This goal is promoted through your continued implementation of infrastructure projects, rural electrification, microfinance, as well as improved forest and coastal resources management to assist the development of poor upland and coastal communities.

I thank you for your special attention to this large island which is now being given special attention by our administration. Because you want to have peace in Mindanao we want that in Mindanao peace will finally reign there and the people of Mindanao can start their journey to growth and normal life.

I have appointed several Mindanaons in my cabinet headed by Vice-President Teofisto Guingona in the Foreign Afairs, Simeon Datumanong in Public Works and Highways and Panteleon Alvarez in Transportation and Communications.

I have also set up the government peace panel which is demilitarized and totally Mindanao based with presidential assistant Jesus Dureza as the head of the panel. And recently, we suspended offensive military operations against the MILF as a confidence-building measure.

So far, the MILF'S response is positive to our initiative and we are hopeful that before long we can resume the stalled talks. We are grateful for the efforts provided by concerned multilateral institutions to help us build a lasting peace in Mindanao and return it to the growth path.

Through the Philippine Country Office acting as the contact point of the ADB's linkage with the government, NGOs and other sectors of our society, our capacity for effective program implementation will definitely be enhanced. The bank's loans and technical assistance grants will achieve their operational objectives.

And so as we celebrate this inauguration, we give our commitment that our administration will support the ADB's Poverty Reduction Program, because we share the same resolve in uplifting the quality of life of every Filipino.

We no longer have an Economic Coordinating Committee which was established by the previous administration because that is a duplication of the function and mandate of the National Economic and Development Authority. And we believe that the NEDA is the primary department for planning our economic development.

To address the problem of low absorptive capacity for foreign-assisted projects, we are in fact giving even more tiff to the investment coordinating committee to ensure the smooth operations of ongoing and pipeline projects with ADB and other multilateral and bilateral agencies.

Indeed our administration will waste no effort for the efficient and effective implementation of all ADB and all foreign assisted projects for that matter as well all contracts with the Philippine government.

To address the speedy implementation will be our way of recognizing your valuable assistance to our country, ADB's valuable assistance to our country as well as hastening our economic recovery and development process.

I thank the ADB for establishing this various country offices and I thank you that even if you are already located here you still have a separate Philippine Country Office. And I'm optimistic that this office will further strengthen our mutual efforts to bring progress and economic prosperity to the doorstep of every Filipino.

May God bless us all and may we continue to have a fruitful relation between ADB and the Philippines.

Congratulations and thank you.

9/11 attack

http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/11/worldtrade.crash/

NEW YORK (CNN) -- In an apparently coordinated terrorist attack against the United States, four commercial passenger jets crashed on Tuesday, three of them into significant landmarks.

• U.S. intelligence officials tell CNN "there are good indications that persons linked to Osama bin Laden may be responsible for these attacks." The sources say they based the statement on specific information that had been gathered Tuesday. Bin Laden is the Saudi millionaire who has been blamed for terror attacks against U.S. interests and is believed to be in Afghanistan.

• American Airlines Flight 11, carrying 81 passengers and 11 crew members, slammed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in Manhattan shortly before 9 a.m. About 15 minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175 from Boston to Los Angeles, with 56 passengers and nine crew members on board, crashed into the south tower.

• Both towers eventually collapsed in a shower of debris and plume of thick dust.

• A half-hour after the second crash, American Flight 77 took off from Washington, D.C.'s Dulles Airport en route to Los Angeles, California, carrying 58 passengers and six crew members -- but crashed into the Pentagon instead. Less than an hour after the third crash, United Flight 93 en route from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, with 38 passengers and seven crew aboard.

• Huge chunks of debris falling from remains of World Trade Center towers more than six hours after the crashes. Firefighters could get no closer than 2 blocks from the burning hulk.

• The FBI said it believes all four planes, carrying a total of 266 people, were hijacked.

• The Pentagon, the White House, the State Department, the Justice Department, the Capitol, the CIA and all other government buildings in Washington are evacuated.

• Federal Emergency Response Plan is implemented immediately after first attack, according to White House. All U.S. embassies and U.S. forces around the world are put on high alert. The highest alert is THREATCON DELTA.

• All federal agencies implement continuity plans to make sure U.S. government continues to function effectively.

• President Bush calls the crashes "a national tragedy." Later in the day, Bush issues a statement from Barksdale AFB near Shreveport, Louisiana. "Make no mistake: The United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts."

• Secret Service secures President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert and key members of Bush's Cabinet and national security team. Air Force One lands in Omaha, Nebraska, and spokeswoman Karen Hughes says Bush is in a secure location.

• Mullah Omar, the Taliban spiritual leader, condemns the attacks and denies that Osama bin Laden, was responsible.

• Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, the Taliban ambassador to Pakistan, says in reaction to the terror attacks that "we want to tell the American children that Afghanistan feels your pain and we hope that the courts find justice."

• In the first-ever national ground stop of aircraft, all flights nationwide are stopped at their departure airports.

• International flights are initially diverted to Canada; FAA says later, however, that 22 U.S.-bound international flights will be allowed to land.

• Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta tells FAA to suspend operation of all flights until at least noon Wednesday. He also issued orders controlling the movements of all vessels in U.S. waters.

• In New York, more than 10,000 rescue personnel rush to the scene. Evacuation of lower Manhattan begins.

• Israel evacuates all of its missions around the world.

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta is evacuated. CDC prepares emergency response teams in case they become necessary.

• Senate Majority leader Tom Daschle, D-South Dakota, Republican leader Trent Lott, R-Mississippi, Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nevada, Sen. Don Nickles, R-Oklahoma, House Democratic leader Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Missouri, and House Speaker Rep. Dennis Hastert, R-Illinois, were taken by helicopter to an undisclosed location.

• Philadelphia landmarks are evacuated.

• In Chicago, the Sears Tower is evacuated; United Nations in New York is evacuated.

• Two aircraft carriers and five other ships are deployed along the East Coast of the United States, and two aircraft carriers go to New York area, all from Norfolk, Virginia.

• The New York Port Authority closes all bridges and tunnels into the city.

• U.S. stock markets close after the New York attacks and will remain closed Wednesday.

• NATO sends home all non-essential personnel from its Brussels, Belgium, headquarters.

• The Immigration and Naturalization Service puts the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada on highest state of alert.

• Los Angeles International Airport is evacuated.

• Disney closes its parks in Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

• FEMA implements plan established for such events: FBI leads investigation and Justice Department heads crisis management. White House spokeswoman Karen Hughes says FEMA activates eight urban search and rescue teams in New York and four teams are at work at Pentagon.

• Three Palestinian groups -- Hamas, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Islamic Jihad -- deny responsibility for the attacks, but blame U.S. policies in the Mideast.

• Washington, D.C., and San Francisco declare states of emergency.

• A Delta flight makes emergency landing in Cleveland and all passengers are safely evacuated. Federal officials search the plane for a possible bomb.
