Dave Cummings
drive and ambition

Once Dave Cummings sets his mind on a goal, his dedication, determination, and commitment are extraordinary. Cummings pursues his ambitions tenaciously and will stubbornly refuse to give up, let go, or be influenced in any way. Like Aesop's tortoise, Dave 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 Dave Cummings to kept to that path. Getting started is more difficult. Dave Cummings has a lazy, comfort-loving side and there is often a good deal of inertia for him to overcome before Cummings 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. Dave Cummings 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. Dave'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. Dave Cummings also tends to play it safe, and to limit himself as a result.

He is a team player and works well in collaboration with others who share his goals, ideals, and intentions. Dave Cummings can coordinate group efforts and inspire people to work toward a shared goal.

Team sports are also a lot of fun for Dave, and he could be a leader, coach, or director of any group endeavor.

Dynamic, self-willed, and fiercely independent, he has extraordinary drive and energy. When Dave Cummings wants something, he wants it this very minute, and he acts quickly, impulsively and decisively. His impatience inclines Dave Cummings to be abrupt with people and reckless. He needs a great deal of personal freedom to do things in his own way and does not happily conform to schedules, rules or regimes imposed by others. He is intolerant of authority and can be very rebellious. He is very frank with others, sometimes brutally so. Dave Cummings may have an explosive temper. High-strung and often nervous and tense, Dave finds it difficult to slow down, pace himself or relax. Dave Cummings is always on the go. He is restless, daring and experimental.

He is industrious and diligent and has the power to establish himself in the world. He is very ambitious and tends to strive for public recognition. Although he may not be looking for trouble, Dave Cummings could easily get into disputes or quarrels.

His self-control tends to be a bit weak and Dave Cummings seems to crave excitement. He is subject to sudden changes and seeks emotional freedom. His wants and needs tend to be different than those around him and others may think he is crazy because of his impulsive actions.

Dave Cummings strives to be in the public eye and may live by the motto "work brings distinction". Dave Cummings has a positive attitude towards his family and his career and is able to work independently as well as with his colleagues in successful team-work.

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

Language, words, communication, networking, clarity of speech or writing, being a messenger or go-between - these are key features in his career, as well as how Dave Cummings goes about achieving his goals and ambitions. "Work smarter, not harder" is Cummings' motto.

Dave Cummings needs to have a strong spiritual base to his life in order to achieve anything in concrete, external terms. That is, fulfilling any ambitions he has for himself will depend upon whether or not Cummings feels connected to a higher source. Clarifying his own role or direction in life may take Dave Cummings some time, so he is apt to be a "late bloomer" when it comes to outward expression and success in material terms.

He is attracted to careers which are somewhat unusual, creative, or avant-garde, and which offer Dave Cummings a maximum amount of freedom and independence. The nine-to-five routine is really not his cup of tea. Dave may make his living in diversified ways rather than focusing on one specific area or talent, and he is happiest when he can create a place in the world for his unique combination of different talents and interests. It is hard and unnatural for Dave Cummings to try to fit himself into a ready-made mold.
