Anatole Litvak
drive and ambition

Once Anatole Litvak sets his mind on a goal, his dedication, determination, and commitment are extraordinary. Litvak pursues his ambitions tenaciously and will stubbornly refuse to give up, let go, or be influenced in any way. Like Aesop's tortoise, Anatole labors patiently and steadfastly until he achieves what he wants - or until it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that all is lost. He is a reliable, consistent and productive worker, and he often shoulders more of the workload than his co-workers, usually without complaint. He often ends up with the nitty-gritty work. He prefers a regular routine, with definite hours and clearly defined responsibilities and tasks. In fact, establishing a pattern or routine is very important to his success because once he gets started in a certain direction, it is easy for Anatole Litvak to kept to that path. Getting started is more difficult. Anatole Litvak has a lazy, comfort-loving side and there is often a good deal of inertia for him to overcome before Litvak gets going; but once he gets a momentum going, his energy level is strong and steady.

He is interested in concrete results and solid, practical achievements. Anatole Litvak needs to have some tangible product or contribution to show for his efforts, and cannot be content with only intangible rewards (such as having a good time, learning, or spiritual enrichment). Material well-being and security is also a large factor in determining what he does. Anatole's stamina and persistence are his greatest assets, but they can also work against him; he can get caught in a rut and refuse to seize new opportunities. Anatole Litvak also tends to play it safe, and to limit himself as a result.

He has passionate convictions and will fight for them when challenged. Anatole Litvak is willing to dedicate a great deal of his energy and strength to an important cause, and he will act decisively on his beliefs, rather than simply espousing them.

Sometimes Litvak gets so involved, and identifies so much, with his ideas that he cannot really be receptive to anyone who opposes him philosophically.

His nature tends to be very sensual and Litvak may irresistibly be attracted to someone, even if he knows that he or she is bad for him. Anatole Litvak also has a tendency toward jealousy and possessiveness in his relationships, and unwillingness to grant his partners freedom to be themselves.

Positions of honor, affluence, influence and stature in his community can be his. Anatole Litvak feels that his destiny involves leadership or distinguishing himself in some way. Anatole possesses an innate sense of greatness or importance, and a strong drive to achieve recognition for his talent. Anatole Litvak should avoid excessive egotism and arrogant pride, for these could limit his opportunities.

Anatole has grand aspirations and may be inordinately ambitious at times. In other words, he is liable to be discontent with small successes and to feel like a failure unless he achieves extraordinary things. Anatole Litvak should avoid get-rich-quick schemes that promise tremendous returns in return for little energy expenditure. Even if they do seem to succeed, Litvak's ideals and values could be compromised.

Litvak's profession may be unusual, very innovative and progressive, or outside the "mainstream", providing alternative services or products. Anatole's career and rise in the professional arena are marked by a certain uneven, erratic quality. Sudden changes of fortune, unexpected upsets and twists of fate are likely.

He is mentally alert and can explain his position clearly and unambiguously so that others can understand it. Always ready for action, Anatole Litvak has courage and determination and the ability to retaliate in the proper manner.
