Edward G. Robinson
motivation

Many of the traits described in Chapter 2 are emphasized again below. His enthusiasm and outgoing, forward-looking nature is a gift, but Edward G. Robinson should also be wary of the tendency to overlook details and be oblivious to others' personal feelings.

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 Edward G. Robinson, 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. Edward G. Robinson 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. Robinson can be irresponsible and disinclined to take on the burdens and limitations of adult life.

An incurable optimist, he has big dreams, aspirations and hopes for the future and is usually engaged in pursuing a far-off goal. Edward G. Robinson has a great deal of faith and trust in life and failures do not crush his spirit. Robinson always bounces back from disappointments, often with another bright dream or scheme. Edward G. Robinson has a sporting, playful attitude toward life and he is philosophical about his mistakes. Edward has the ability to sense future trends, to see the big picture, and he likes to theorize and speculate. However, he gets annoyed with all the details and practical requirements required to implement his theories.

Robinson expresses himself in a very open, direct and straightforward manner and is often blunt and tactless as well. 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, Edward's insensitivity and lack of understanding regarding others' feelings is probably one of his worst faults.

Edward G. Robinson enjoys being in close relationships but also needs freedom and he does not do well with a possessive, clinging, or emotionally demanding partner. He is quite generous, and heartily dislikes pettiness in others. Someone who shares his ideals, his sense of fun and his zest for life would be the right companion for Robinson.

Edward G. Robinson has a clear sense of his own self and he therefore conveys a strong impression to others of who he is and what he wants. Assertive and self-motivated, Robinson can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but he competes and often clash with other strong individuals. Edward G. Robinson feels a need to be in control of his own life and he can be too self-involved, too immersed in his own interests, and oblivious to others at times.

Robinson occasionally gamble, splurge, or overextend himself in ways that may be quite at odds with his usual way of doing things. Exaggerating his accomplishments or spending too much in order to impress others and build up his own self-esteem can be a problem. However, Edward G. Robinson also has faith and an optimistic side, which enable him to recover from the negative consequences of his excesses, and to learn from them.

However he also has a more somber side, which keeps Robinson's optimism from becoming ungrounded or overblown. Edward G. Robinson tends to seesaw between his faith, vision and high aspirations, and his caution and realism (or fear!). He cannot and does not rely on good luck or grace alone, and he accepts the need for hard work. His skeptical or "somber" side is described below.

Edward G. Robinson has a healthy amount of self-control and self-discipline. Robinson also radiates a rather responsible, trustworthy, solid feeling about himself which will win him the confidence of others, especially his superiors.
