Mike Tyson
approach to life and appearances

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

Modest, unobtrusive, and often rather quiet or shy, he 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. He is quite humble in his own assessment of himself; he seeks perfection, with a tendency to be overly self-critical. No matter how well he does something, Mike Tyson always sees the flaws in it and how it could be improved. Often Tyson will simply refuse to attempt something because he feels he cannot meet his own high standards.

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

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

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

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

Mike Tyson seems like a loner or isolationist at times, and it may be difficult to get to know him or form close friendships with him. To others, Mike may appear standoffish, as if he judges them from afar.

At times his feisty spirit, aggressiveness, and a too-forceful approach get Mike into trouble. Mike Tyson tends to take offense when none was intended. He may be viewed as a troublemaker, an upstart, or an egotist with little concern for others. Mike Tyson needs to moderate his temper to avoid constant irritation with those in his environment.

Mike Tyson feels good about himself and enjoys good relationships with his friends and neighbors. He exchanges ideas with them in a very relaxed and open manner, always willing to learn more about himself, the world and other people.

He is very receptive to the influence of his environment, giving other people a chance to exploit or use him. Mike Tyson has the ability to tune into the events around him, but he also should be careful not to overreact to the intentions of others.
