Jerry Brown
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Jerry's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Jerry Brown comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Jerry Brown - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Jerry Brown" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Jerry a little better. This page describes the disguise Brown wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Jerry Brown likes to be impressive and to be considered special and unique. He is not timid, meek, or self-effacing, and is rarely content with staying in the background or in a subordinate position. He is a natural leader, and does not take orders from others very well. Brown must have something of his own, something creative - be it a business, a project, a home or whatever - that he can develop and manage according to his own will and vision. Whatever Jerry does, he does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. He likes to put his own personal stamp on it.

Jerry Brown also has a very strong sense of dignity, self-respect, and personal honor and is deeply offended if someone treats him in a humiliating or dishonorable way. Brown will rarely confront the offender - he is too proud to do so - but he will lose his affection and respect for them. Jerry dislikes pettiness and hates to be snubbed or ignored.

Brown admires others who are strong individuals like himself. When Jerry Brown befriends someone, Brown is tremendously loyal, sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person happy. He is very giving and generous, but his gifts are never anonymous - Jerry expects recognition and appreciation for them. He also expects the intense loyalty that he offers to his dear ones to be reciprocated. However, Jerry Brown often has trouble developing relationships with people who are as strong as himself, for he does not really cooperate or share the leading role very easily. If he is not in the leading role, he aspires to be and will compete with the person who is.

Jerry Brown has great heart and courage, and people often look to him for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. Jerry always puts his best face forward and rarely allows others to see him hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. Jerry Brown also has a very strong need for love, admiration, appreciation, and praise, although he does not like others to realize just how important it is to him.

His outlook on life tends to be very personal and rather self-centered. His own self-expression, self-actualization and self-realization interest Jerry more than anything else. Jerry Brown feels that if he does his best where he is, the rest of the world will take care of itself.

He may come across as a bit scattered, nervous or restless, as if unable to sit still. Jerry Brown seems alert and quick, but sometimes a bit on edge. Jerry tends to stay perpetually busy, and would find handiwork of some kind soothing.

Jerry Brown appears to be sweet to other people, and he knows how to use charm, persuasion and affection rather than more direct (but possibly disagreeable) methods to get his point across. He may be overly concerned with appearances and superficial beauty, in which case Jerry Brown may also seem vain and narcissistic to others.

To others, Jerry Brown appears capable, mature and down to earth. Even when he was young, there was a certain practicality and responsible air about Jerry that inspired people to rely on him. Brown keeps his cool in most situations.

Jerry Brown tends to be somewhat inhibited and does not want to attract attention. He is likely to think that other people are more important than he is and prefers to live in seclusion.
