Richard Wagner
approach to life and appearances

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

Richard Wagner is always questioning and learning, and he seems young and alive no matter what his chronological age, for his mind is always alert, curious, flexible, and open to new experiences. Richard Wagner has a childlike enthusiasm for anything new and he learns easily, but he also gets bored rather quickly. Wagner can be somewhat of a scatterbrain, for he tends to have so many ideas and irons in the fire that it is hard to keep track of them all. He needs and craves variety, change, mental stimulation, and an active social life.

Articulate, clever, often funny and witty, he is always a refreshing and interesting conversationalist. Richard Wagner enjoys meeting and interacting with a variety of different people. He is friendly, flirtatious, and charming in a playful way, and no matter how badly he may be feeling, Richard never comes across as melancholic or somber. He may seem frivolous to other, more serious souls. Richard Wagner has a sense of humor and a sense of perspective that prevent him from taking himself or life too seriously. In fact, Wagner may seem flippant or unconcerned about matters that others consider very important.

In general, Richard Wagner responds to life mentally and objectively rather than emotionally, and he may not empathize with people very much. Richard does not like to be weighed down with too much responsibility or with others' emotional burdens. Furthermore, if he cannot fully grasp something with his reason and logic, Wagner will often choose to ignore it, including his own and other people's irrational feelings, desires, and needs.

Consistency and reliability are not great virtues of Wagner's and his life is apt to be full of changes and movement due to his restlessness. Richard Wagner becomes nervous and fidgety if things are not moving quickly enough. He is interested in what is current and up-to-date, the newest trends in thought or style.

His gifts are a quick mind, verbal facility, a flair for language, social sophistication and polish, the ability to communicate, converse, and build bridges between people and between ideas. Richard Wagner tends to become an incessant chatterbox or gossip if he does not have work or other activities that utilize his mental, verbal, and social skills.

Richard Wagner appears confident and self-assured and he makes a clear, strong impression on others. He is very concerned with the impact he makes on others and with getting personal recognition, sometimes too much so. Richard Wagner tends to dominate in relationships and to be oblivious to others' points of view if they differ very much from Wagner's own.

His attractiveness is one of the first things others notice about Richard, and is probably something he cares a great deal about. Wagner gets along well with people and knows how to please them. Richard Wagner has a well honed sense of style and beauty.

He is direct, honest, and to the point - some might say excessively so. However, no one has to guess who Richard Wagner is or what he wants - he is pretty much up front. Richard radiates a refreshing enthusiasm and vigor when he is at his best. He seems to enjoy competition without taking it terribly seriously.

Wagner projects a feeling of broad-mindedness, generosity, and beneficence, a sense that he is someone others should listen to and treat with respect. Because Richard Wagner generally makes such a favorable impression on people, many doors are open to him, and he may appear to be somewhat luckier than other people. This is primarily due to the confidence that Richard Wagner emanates.
