"Beavers are the workaholics (fanàtics del treball) of the animal world. No animal personality places more emphasis, nor derives more self-esteem than beavers do from their careers. They can be found at all levels of the working world, though they perform best in unsupervised positions that require serious responsibility. This makes them ideal for roles as a ship's captain, naval officer, judge, accountant or bank manager. As a handyperson they have no equal: If asked to fix a chair, they'll build one from scratch.

Organized and structured, their determined attitudes spill over into all aspects of their busy lives and they plan for the future almost unconsciously. Decisions made regarding their relationships, careers and families are methodically and practically prepared, and they are most comfortable at work or ensconced in their fastidiously decorated homes. In their spare time, beavers love to busy themselves around the house or tend their precisely manicured lawns.

It is arguable, however, whether the beaver's complex home-building skills require intelligence or simply instinct, much as a bird builds a nest. Today it is generally believed that the beaver's intelligence is overrated: though they will purposely fell trees to build dams, they are often killed by their poor lumberjacking skills.

While others are playing, beavers are usually hard at work. They are well prepared for any eventuality and their homes are well stocked with spare water, emergency radios and survival kits. Even the beaver is not sure why it spends such energy in securing its home, but it instinctively feels more comfortable when it does.

Beaver personalities come in all shapes and sizes. Generally in good physical condition, they find time to keep fit even with their busy work schedules. Their conscientious attitudes makes them dependable as friends and a commitment from a beaver is like money in the bank." Web source

I agree with almost everything, I think that I'm a hardworking person, but I won't stay in home working if I know that my friends are playing and having fun outside. For me, work is an important thing in life, in particular now that we have to choose our future, but there are some things more importants than this. My priorities, what I have in the top of everything including work, it's my family and healthy, and friends, too.
I'm agree when it said that I like to work just myself, I don't like order things to people, and I got nervous when I work with a group.

My favourite animal and the animal in me are very different. My favourite animal is the cat, and while the beaver is very hardworking, a cat is very lazy and quiet, too. Perhaps the only thing in common it's that they are very independents.
