Benigno Aquino Jr.
motivation

Benigno Aquino, Jr.'s self-centeredness (described in the previous chapter), combined with his expansive, freewheeling style (described below), makes for a highly dynamic, energetic and enthusiastic person. Others feel that Benigno Aquino, Jr. sometimes comes on too strong, and Aquino can be overly zealous in trying to convince others of the value of a product, philosophy or other interest in his life. Overall, however, Benigno's liveliness and enthusiasm are wonderful gifts that everyone appreciates.

He is a gambler and an adventurer at heart, one who loves to take risks, to discover and explore new worlds, and to travel the untried path rather than the safe, reliable one. He is independent, freedom loving, and often very restless. He needs a lifestyle that provides opportunities for travel, movement, change, and meeting new people. A steady routine, which offers much in the way of security but little in the way of space and freedom, is odious to him.

To Benigno Aquino, Jr., life is a journey and an adventure that is endlessly interesting and rich with possibilities, and it may be difficult for him to decide where to focus his attention and efforts. Benigno Aquino, Jr. probably traveled around and experimented with many different paths before he settled on a particular career. Or he may go from one project to the next, for once the challenge and vital interest is gone, he is very quick to move on. Commitment, discipline, focus and concentration are not his strong points. Aquino can be irresponsible and disinclined to take on the burdens and limitations of adult life.

However, he gets annoyed with all the details and practical requirements required to implement his theories.

Because he does not take himself too seriously, he may not realize how deeply his candid statements can wound more sensitive souls. In fact, though he may not realize it, Benigno's insensitivity and lack of understanding regarding others' feelings is probably one of his worst faults.
