Sam Walton
drive and ambition

He is a perfectionist and has high standards for his own work. Sam Walton often feels that if he wants something done right he must do it himself, for others do not do as thorough a job as he does. Doing a task well is very important to him, and he may labor over minute details that others would not bother with. Sam Walton strives for accuracy, efficiency and precision, and he becomes very irritable when things are not done "right".

On the other hand, Sam Walton can become so much of a perfectionist and so self-critical that he will not even attempt many activities and projects, feeling that his efforts will simply not be good enough. He is usually modest and realistic in assessing what he can accomplish and, if anything, Sam Walton underestimates himself. Of course, practice makes perfect, and if Walton does apply himself diligently in a given area, he gradually gains self-confidence as he masters skills and develops expertise.

Sam Walton conserves his energy and paces himself so that he does not waste or diffuse his efforts. An unwillingness to take risks or venture from the beaten track can sometimes limit his opportunities. In short, Walton may not aim high enough, thereby settling for too little in life.

Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, Sam Walton enjoys arguing, debating, and contesting other people's opinions. He is quite forthright and sometimes tactless. Walton can be very convincing about his point of view, but he is prone to a "hard-sell" approach which sometimes backfires. Challenging mental work is a good avenue for Sam's aggressive intellect.

Patience is not one of his strong virtues and Sam Walton does what needs to be done impetuously and hastily, leading to great potential for accidents. Sam Walton also has a streak of rebellion in him that could bring disputes and arguments with those around him.

Sam Walton seems to lack determination and has a sense of inferiority. He tends to think negatively about himself and is inclined to downgrade himself. But Sam Walton has strong self-control, accepts hardship well and has the desire to overcome his difficulties.

He is hyper-sensitive and his energy could be somewhat low. Sam Walton seems to shy away from any physical effort and has a tendency to dream of big accomplishments that never materialize. Sam prefers to live in a world of illusion rather than to face reality.

Sam has the patience and the stamina to realize his visions and bring them down to earth, a fine balance between hard work and realism, and a positive, hopeful spirit. Sam Walton grows through following systems and plans, and taking one step at a time. Overnight success or instant enlightenment is not what Walton aims for. His patient, well-balanced approach gives Sam Walton credibility with many different types of people, and he is apt to gain an excellent reputation for being able to do big things without overreaching or becoming pretentious.

His direction in life seems to depend a great deal on other people and his relationships with others may often influence Walton's decision in planning his objectives. This could be to Sam's advantage at times, but also could cause occasional setbacks.
