Erich Maria Remarque
drive and ambition

Once Erich Maria Remarque sets his mind on a goal, his dedication, determination, and commitment are extraordinary. Remarque pursues his ambitions tenaciously and will stubbornly refuse to give up, let go, or be influenced in any way. Like Aesop's tortoise, Erich 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 Erich Maria Remarque to kept to that path. Getting started is more difficult.

He is interested in concrete results and solid, practical achievements. Erich Maria Remarque 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. Erich'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. Erich Maria Remarque also tends to play it safe, and to limit himself as a result.

Erich Maria Remarque likes to be the one in charge in his home and he puts a lot of energy into making things go his way.

Erich Maria Remarque tends to want to take the easy road to success, and unless other factors in his chart suggest a capacity for effort or a lot of energy, laziness could interfere with achieving whatever ambitions Remarque has.
