Philippe Junot
motivation

Junot will notice that his description below highlights many of the same points raised in Chapter 2. Because he is so self-reliant, independent and unwilling to compromise or even cooperate with others, Philippe Junot is likely to be self-employed or at least have a job that allows him to work at his own pace with minimal supervision.

He is a person who thrives on challenge, and he often feels that he must battle his way through life, relying on no one and nothing but his own strength, intelligence and courage. Philippe Junot believes in being totally honest, true to himself and his own vision and convictions, even if it means standing alone. Honesty, integrity, personal honor and authenticity are Junot's gods, and he has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

Philippe Junot craves the freedom to do things in his own way, and he works very well independently. Cooperating with others or carrying out another's will is not his style. Philippe likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.

Philippe Junot loves action and if others are settling down into a nice, comfortable little rut, then he is always ready to stir things up, do something new, make changes and introduce some fresh blood. Routine and sameness are tantamount to death for him. He is not afraid of trying something that has never been done before, and even though he may sometimes be perceived as a fool, Philippe Junot also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following his own star are the breath of life for Junot, and he wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if he cannot do this.

He is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. Philippe Junot believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and he perceives himself as a strong, even invincible, person. Philippe Junot hates being ill or in a position of dependency. Accepting his own human limitations and emotional needs is often difficult for him.

He is basically aggressive in his attitudes and less adept at relating to others, picking up on subtle messages and nuances, listening, nurturing and harmonizing. He is often so fired up about his own projects or goals that he inadvertently runs over or ignores other people's feelings and interests. Being receptive and appreciative of others' contributions, ideas and feelings would be highly instrumental in improving Junot's relationships. His impatience to get on with things causes Philippe Junot to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. He also frequently tries to accomplish his goals through anger or temper tantrums. Philippe Junot would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however his energetic, restless nature rarely allows Philippe Junot to do so.

Philippe Junot has a clear sense of his own self and he therefore conveys a strong impression to others of who he is and what he wants. Assertive and self-motivated, Junot can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but he competes and often clashes with other strong individuals. Philippe Junot feels a need to be in control of his own life and he can be too self-involved, too immersed in his own interests, and oblivious to others at times.

He is blessed with abundant optimism, self-confidence and cheerful generosity. His good will and friendliness win him many allies. Philippe Junot also has grand visions and aspirations, and the desire to succeed in life in a big way. Philippe expects the best, and usually gets it.

However he also has a more somber side, which keeps Junot's optimism from becoming ungrounded or overblown. Philippe Junot tends to seesaw between his faith, vision and high aspirations, and his caution and realism (or fear!). He cannot and does not rely on good luck or grace alone, and he accepts the need for hard work. His skeptical or "somber" side is described below.

Philippe Junot has a mature and often somber demeanor. He is serious, reserved, self-disciplined, highly responsible and conscientious. He progresses rather slowly in life, through his own efforts and persistence. He is also rather stern and judgmental, especially with himself. Cautious and careful, it is difficult for him to really let go, be spontaneous and playful. Philippe likes to be in control of himself.

He is intensely willful, zealous, and fanatical though Philippe often hides the intensity of his feelings and his personal motives and desires. Junot is infatuated with power and has an almost compulsive desire for personal recognition and the desire to be "somebody". Philippe Junot tends to worship heroes who have powerful personal magnetism and charisma and often seeks to emulate them. Philippe Junot both fears, and is intensely fascinated with, death and the hidden, secret, dark side of life.

He may lack direction and drive and tends to compare himself unfavorably to others. Junot alternates between caution and unrealistic expectations and lets others expect too much of him. But Philippe Junot plods forward steadily, reaching success later in life.
