Quincy Jones
motivation

His pleasant manner and desire to relate harmoniously with others (as discussed in chapter 2), combined with his idealism, receptivity, and impressionability (as discussed below), make Quincy Jones very self-sacrificing and willing to go the extra mile for someone else's sake. Quincy Jones has to be wary of his tendency to lack discrimination in his charitable endeavors. He should also avoid trying to help those who are incorrigible. Moreover, he should not be afraid of confrontation. He is inclined to hide his thoughts and feelings, make excuses and even lie, often just to avoid a person or an issue. Quincy Jones should strive to be honest in his communications, which will also help him to be honest with himself. If he channels his energies well, Jones can be a asset to others - be it on a professional level as a counselor, teacher, or consultant or on a personal day-to-day level.

At heart he is very gentle, impressionable and receptive - a dreamer. The world of his imagination, feelings, and intuition is as real to Quincy Jones as anything in the outer world, though he may have trouble verbalizing or interpreting his inner experiences in a way others can understand. Mystical, artistic, musical, emotional and imaginative, he has a rich inner life, though Jones may seem rather unobtrusive and quiet outwardly. Quincy Jones usually keeps to himself.

Quincy shows great sensitivity and empathy toward others and often senses things psychically or intuitively which prove to be correct. He is tolerant, forgiving and nonjudgmental, accepting people unconditionally regardless of their flaws, mistakes, or outward appearance. Quincy has deep compassion for the suffering of any fellow creature and he often feels the pain of others as if it were his own. Quincy Jones sympathizes with the needy, the disadvantaged and the misfits of society. He is capable of giving selflessly, living a life of devoted and compassionate service to others, as a healer, physician, social worker or minister. However, Jones tends to give indiscriminately, to let others take advantage of his kindness, and to encourage the weak to remain so by becoming dependent upon him. Quincy has little sense of boundaries, or of knowing when to say "no". Moderation and self-discipline are not his strong points.

He is a lover and a peacemaker rather than a fighter, and he tries to avoid open conflict. Jones will patiently ignore or "tune out" problems and hope they will go away by themselves, rather than confront them directly and Jones tends to lack the positive, fighting spirit that is sometimes necessary to overcome challenges. He is fluid, open, nonresistant and somewhat passive. Quincy Jones does things in a subtle, often covert, manner.

His gifts may also lie in the realm of the creative, artistic, or musical, for he possesses great sensitivity, inspiration and limitless imagination. Quincy Jones has a strong affinity for beauty and love.

His faults include a tendency to be lazy and negligent, and to wallow in self-pity rather than take strong, definite action to change his life for the better. He also tends to become so detached from his immediate environment that he lives in a disorderly, chaotic sort of hodgepodge, though this probably bothers those around Jones more than it bothers him.

Quincy Jones has a very dramatic, creative, expressive nature and he loves to perform. Quincy enjoys being the center of attention and he seeks to shine, to excel, and to be outstanding in some unique way. He is very involved in his own creativity and self-expression, and takes great pleasure in developing and using his special talents be they artistic, athletic or intellectual. Quincy Jones has a strong sense of pride.

Quincy Jones deeply believes in his own power and his ability to survive any change and emerge victorious from any difficulty. Quincy has tremendous inner resources and strength. Intense, strong willed, and zealous, he pursues his desires and goals with complete dedication and singleness of purpose, and he may be somewhat compulsive and even fanatical at times. Quincy likes to live intensely and has no respect for people who are weak or avoid confronting life and their own destiny.
