Lalla Ward
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Lalla's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Lalla Ward comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Lalla Ward - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her 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 Lalla Ward" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Lalla a little better. This page describes the disguise Ward wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Modest, unobtrusive, and often rather quiet or shy, she is a person who is content to stay in the background or to serve as an assistant, in the supporting role rather than in the lead. She is quite humble in her own assessment of herself; she seeks perfection, with a tendency to be overly self-critical. No matter how well she does something, Lalla Ward always sees the flaws in it and how it could be improved. Often Ward will simply refuse to attempt something because she feels she cannot meet her own high standards.

Lalla Ward has an eye for detail and she gets upset when something is not done just so, usually something others consider rather inconsequential or trivial. She is hard to please and her relationships with others may suffer because of this. Lalla Ward also has refined sensitivities and is very discriminating and particular in her choice of foods, clothes, friends, artwork, etc. Order in Ward's environment is very important to Ward.

Ward steps into situations rather cautiously, and not without realistically assessing all of the risks and potential advantages involved. Unless something is a safe bet, she is unlikely to dive into it. Lalla Ward tends to underestimate her own capacities and to lack confidence and trust in life, which inhibits her spontaneity. Worrying is a bad habit of hers. On the other hand, Lalla rarely falls flat on her face and what she does, she does very well.

Others see Lalla Ward as a self-sufficient and rather self-contained person. Ward has a strong sense of propriety. Politeness, good manners, and correct behavior are important to her. Her clear, cool, objective and non-emotional attitude is apparent to others first, and though she is really quite helpful and caring, she does not radiate much sympathy and as a result, others may not see the helpful side as readily. Lalla may seem more businesslike and factual as well as more conservative than she really is at heart. She is the person others might go to for technical advice or an unbiased opinion, but not for emotional support.

She is keenly observant, intelligent, and has a great desire for learning and for self-improvement, but she is not especially ambitious and is often satisfied with a rather simple, unglamorous position in life.

Lalla Ward has a mature and rather heavy, solemn demeanor, and she tends to take herself and life too seriously. She possesses a great deal of self-control, self-discipline, and a very dominant conscience. She may be dogged by feelings of personal inadequacy and inhibition. Lalla Ward seems authoritarian to others.

At times her feisty spirit, aggressiveness, and overly forceful approach get Lalla into trouble. Lalla Ward tends to take offense when none was intended. She may be viewed as a troublemaker, an upstart, or an egotist with little concern for others. Lalla Ward needs to moderate her temper in order to avoid constant irritation with those in her environment.
