Maria Sharapova
mental interests and abilities

Outspoken and direct, she is always eager to express her ideas and opinions and does not mind opposing the consensus and stirring up a little controversy. Maria has fresh, original ideas and a great deal of enthusiasm for anything new and untried, but once the novelty has worn off, she is interested in another new idea or project. Maria Sharapova never seems to have enough time to do everything she wants. She is very honest, speaks decisively and convincingly about things she believes in, and is unable to pretend to agree with someone if she honestly does not. She may be somewhat lacking in tact.

Maria Sharapova thinks a great deal about her career, her reputation and public image, and the way she makes a contribution or impact on the world at large. Public speaking or communications of some other kind is likely to be an important aspect of the work Maria Sharapova does.

She is not interested in subjects that are wholly abstract or technical. There must be a personal, human element to spark Sharapova's interest. Her interests revolve around people and their inner motivations, feelings, personal lives and experiences. Maria Sharapova is a natural listener with a talent for getting others to talk about their lives, relationships, dreams and desires - namely the things that are meaningful to them. Sharapova could also be an excellent writer, reporter or biographer.

Maria Sharapova has a particular interest in the past. She is concerned either with personal history (childhood and early family experiences, genealogy, etc.) or with the roots and origins of societies (archeology, mythology, history, etc.).

Maria Sharapova is nostalgic and she loves to hear others' life stories and to discuss her own experiences and feelings. Maria likes to read biographies and memoirs, and she probably keeps a diary or journal herself. Maria Sharapova also has the ability to be a successful public speaker.

Her desire to make a point sometime overrides her receptivity to others' views. She can be a good listener, but Maria Sharapova often finds it hard not to speak out.

Maria Sharapova has a sharp tongue and ready wit, and she enjoys intellectual competition, problem solving, and demanding intellectual work. In a debate, she knows how to drive her point home. Maria Sharapova also possesses quick reflexes and dexterity and could be an excellent tennis or racquetball player. Any sport which involves a dynamic exchange between the players is a suitable arena for Sharapova.

She enjoys philosophical speculation and theorizing about abstract ideas and concepts. Sharapova is interested in a broad perspective, universal principles and systems, and connecting relationships and patterns - namely, she prefers to see the whole picture rather than the sum total of its components.Maria Sharapova has a great respect and thirst for knowledge and education, and is the proverbial "perpetual student". Maria Sharapova also has a talent for teaching and sharing her knowledge, and as a teacher, Maria presents herself as a fellow participant in the ongoing quest for understanding rather than as a figure of authority.

She may become involved in television, publishing or other fields that involve sharing ideas with large groups of people. Maria Sharapova excels in areas that require long-range planning and foresight, and can therefore be very successful in business, but she is rather sloppy and haphazard when it comes to implementing her ideas concretely. Maria Sharapova should leave the details to someone else. Travel or long-distance contacts and communication will play a major role in her life and work.

Even though Sharapova can be a decisive and convincing speaker (as indicated earlier), she also has a highly imaginative and intuitive mind. This combination offers a number of possibilities: Maria could accurately articulate the images and fantasies she has, she could forcefully convince others of her own brand of idealism (or illusion!), or Maria Sharapova may alternate from being very clear and direct to being rather evasive or poetic. The following describes the more fluid, non-rational aspect of Sharapova's thinking.

Her mind is highly imaginative and creative and she possesses dramatic, artistic or musical abilities. As a child, Maria Sharapova enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing and pretending, and probably lived in "her own little world" a good deal. She perceives things that are not obvious to other people and Maria Sharapova has an uncanny ability to "read" people and situations without being told anything about them. However, Maria Sharapova must learn to discriminate between true psychic perception and her imagination. Learning to discipline and focus her mind is necessary if Sharapova wishes to use all of her creative potential. Otherwise, Maria Sharapova could be simply a dreamer.

Communication with others is difficult for Maria Sharapova because she often finds words frustrating and inadequate to express her experiences and perceptions. Also, Maria may purposefully mystify or deceive others.

Maria Sharapova has a probing, penetrating mind and in her view, nothing is as simple, innocent, or straightforward as it appears. She may not totally understand the hidden undercurrents she perceives, the secret machinations, the dark underside of a person or situation - but it intrigues Maria and sometimes she cannot stop thinking about it. Once Sharapova's interest has been piqued, she can become obsessed with getting to the bottom of the matter. At times Maria Sharapova makes more of something than is actually the case, like assigning dark, convoluted motives to a person where none exist.

She is very sociable and has a talent for organizing and arranging associations or groups of people. Maria Sharapova is likely to have good cooperation between people and she proudly shares her successes with them.
