Bai Ling
drive and ambition

She is a perfectionist and has high standards for her own work. Bai Ling often feels that if she wants something done right she must do it herself, for others do not do as thorough a job as she does. Doing a task well is very important to her, and she may labor over minute details that others would not bother with. Bai Ling strives for accuracy, efficiency and precision, and she becomes very irritable when things are not done "right".

On the other hand, Bai Ling can become so much of a perfectionist and so self-critical that she will not even attempt many activities and projects, feeling that her efforts will simply not be good enough. She is usually modest and realistic in assessing what she can accomplish and, if anything, Bai Ling underestimates herself. Of course, practice makes perfect, and if Ling does apply herself diligently in a given area, she gradually gains self-confidence as she masters skills and develops expertise.

Bai Ling conserves her energy and paces herself so that she does not waste or diffuse her efforts. An unwillingness to take risks or venture from the beaten track can sometimes limit her opportunities. In short, Ling may not aim high enough, thereby settling for too little in life.

She has passionate convictions and will fight for them when challenged. Bai Ling is willing to dedicate a great deal of her energy and force to an important cause, and she will act decisively on her beliefs, rather than simply espousing them.

Sometimes Ling gets so involved and identified with her ideas that she cannot really be receptive to anyone who opposes her philosophically.

Bai Ling has the gift of endurance and perseverance, as well as the willingness to work hard to achieve her objectives. Once she decides she wants something or makes a commitment, Bai Ling will do it "even if it takes forever". Self-discipline comes naturally to Bai and she instinctively realizes that any creative achievement is "10% inspiration, 90% perspiration". Ling chooses practical, realistic goals and pursues them step-by-step in a well-planned, orderly fashion. Bai Ling likes to concentrate on one thing at a time and she does a thorough job. She enjoys working in solitude, and often feels she does her best work when she is alone.

When Bai Ling wants something, she goes after it with passionate zeal and is sometimes so driven by her desire that she loses all objectivity. Bai gets so deeply involved in whatever she is pursuing that she becomes one-sided, even fanatical. Strong-willed and stubborn, Bai Ling insists on having her way no matter the cost. She is fascinated with power. Ling often tries to overpower anything or anyone she perceives as an obstacle, if not physically, then by the force of her will. Ling can be ruthless and impersonal when it comes to achieving her ambitions and goals in life. Bai Ling has enormous energy and is capable of extraordinary effort and great achievement. Ling can also become a compulsive workaholic.

Positions of honor, affluence, influence, and stature in her community can be hers. Bai Ling feels she has a destiny which involves leadership or distinguishing herself in some line of endeavor. Bai possesses an innate sense of greatness or importance, and a strong drive to achieve recognition for her talent. Bai Ling should avoid excessive egotism and arrogant pride, for these could limit her opportunities.

To achieve her ambitions and long-range goals will require much stamina and self-reliance as well as a clearly defined strategy. Numerous setbacks, obstructions or delays can also be expected. A father figure, mentor, or authority in Ling's life may withdraw support at a crucial time. However, this will not stop Bai Ling and may ultimately be a blessing in disguise.

She is very ambitious, diligent and industrious and seems to be blessed with a good dose of luck. Bai Ling tends to succeed with her objectives on a big scale and can expect advantages, advancements and promotions in her occupation.
