Deng Xiaoping
motivation

The combination of self-reliance and independence - as described in the previous chapter - and his powerful will and creative energy - as described below - makes Deng Xiaoping a force to be reckoned with! He cannot take a back seat to anyone, and he has tremendous leadership potential.

Proud and intensely individual, Deng Xiaoping really wants to stand out, to be the very best he can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for his unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to him, and he cannot tolerate being relegated to the background, taking orders from others, or being "just one of the team". Deng Xiaoping must put his personal stamp on whatever he does, and direct his own course in life. Deng Xiaoping needs to have a place where he can shine, express himself creatively, and be the one in charge.

Deng has big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality and enthusiasm to realize them. Deng Xiaoping also has a noble, romantic heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and extravagant.

For Deng Xiaoping, it is true that "the entire world's a stage" and he secretly (or perhaps not so secretly) desires to be the star or hero of the play. Deng wants to be great and to receive the love and applause of an adoring audience, even if the "audience" is just one other special person. He needs someone to believe in him and his dreams. Though Xiaoping appears radiantly self-confident and independent, he is actually very dependent on the affirmation, love and recognition of others. He cannot bear going unnoticed or unappreciated.

Deng Xiaoping also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person he loves feel special. Deng Xiaoping loves the magic of "being in love" and knows how to keep the romance alive in his relationships. He is also immensely loyal and will defend his loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they never offend his pride or betray his trust. However, Deng Xiaoping likes to be the strong one in his relationships and he really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Deng needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as he is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with him.

Xiaoping's strengths are his zest and love for life, his creative power and his warm and generous heart. His primary fault is his tendency to be very egocentric, and so concerned with the impression he is making and with his own creative self-expression that he forgets there is another, larger world that does not revolve around him.

Deng Xiaoping has a very dramatic, creative, expressive nature and he loves to perform. Deng enjoys being the center of attention and he seeks to shine, to excel, and to be outstanding in some unique way. He is very involved in his own creativity and self-expression, and takes great pleasure in developing and using his special talents, whether these are artistic, athletic, or intellectual. Deng Xiaoping has a strong sense of pride.

Deng has lofty aspirations but does not struggle or labor to achieve them. His self-confidence and inner harmony attract success and benefit him in an almost magical way. His optimism and cheerful generosity also win Xiaoping many allies and successes in life.

The unusual and unorthodox appeal to Xiaoping, and he does not allow tradition, convention or other people's expectations to dictate how he is going to live his life. Deng Xiaoping craves freedom, adventure, excitement and discovery, and is not afraid of change. Deng Xiaoping possesses inventive and creative genius.

Deng Xiaoping tends to think and act bravely and has a positive and firm demeanor. Deng has what it takes to make his own way in life. He may be a bit excitable, but never shy away from a good argument.

His comprehension is exceptional and Deng Xiaoping reacts to everything very quickly. Xiaoping shows deep respect for knowledge and feels that he must learn everything there is to know. Studying probably was encouraged early on and Deng Xiaoping was raised to be successful.
