Soon-Yi Previn
drive and ambition

She is a perfectionist and has high standards for her own work. Soon-Yi Previn often feels that if she wants something done right she must do it herself, for others do not do as thorough a job as she does. Doing a task well is very important to her, and she may labor over minute details that others would not bother with. Soon-Yi Previn strives for accuracy, efficiency and precision, and she becomes very irritable when things are not done "right".

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

Soon-Yi Previn conserves her energy and paces herself so that she does not waste or diffuse her efforts. An unwillingness to take risks or venture from the beaten track can sometimes limit her opportunities. In short, Previn may not aim high enough, thereby settling for too little in life.

She has passionate convictions and will fight for them when challenged. Soon-Yi Previn is willing to dedicate a great deal of her energy and strength to an important cause, and she will act decisively on her beliefs, rather than simply espousing them.

Sometimes Previn gets so involved, and identifies so much, with her ideas that she cannot really be receptive to anyone who opposes her philosophically.

Soon-Yi Previn has the gift of endurance and perseverance, as well as the willingness to work hard to achieve her objectives. Once she decides she wants something or makes a commitment, Soon-Yi Previn will do it "even if it takes forever". Self-discipline comes naturally to Soon-Yi and she instinctively realizes that any creative achievement is "10% inspiration, 90% perspiration". Previn chooses practical, realistic goals and pursues them step-by-step in a well-planned, orderly fashion. Soon-Yi Previn likes to concentrate on one thing at a time and she does a thorough job. She enjoys working in solitude, and often feels she does her best work when she is alone.

When Soon-Yi Previn wants something, she goes after it with passionate zeal and is sometimes so driven by her desire that she loses all objectivity. Soon-Yi gets so deeply involved in whatever she is pursuing that she becomes one-sided, even fanatical. Strong-willed and stubborn, Soon-Yi Previn insists on having her way no matter the cost. She is fascinated with power. Previn often tries to overpower anything or anyone she perceives as an obstacle, if not physically, then by the force of her will. Previn can be ruthless and impersonal when it comes to achieving her ambitions and goals in life. Soon-Yi Previn has enormous energy and is capable of extraordinary effort and great achievement.

Positions of honor, affluence, influence and stature in her community can be hers. Soon-Yi Previn feels that her destiny involves leadership or distinguishing herself in some way. Soon-Yi possesses an innate sense of greatness or importance, and a strong drive to achieve recognition for her talent. Soon-Yi Previn should avoid excessive egotism and arrogant pride, for these could limit her opportunities.

Her aspirations in life are likely to be quite unusual, extraordinary or ahead of their time. Soon-Yi Previn is a nonconformist who insists on doing things her own way and follows a zigzag path toward her ambitions.

Rebelling against authority seems to be one aspect of her life's plan. Soon-Yi Previn simply cannot force herself into a pre-cast mold of any kind.

She may have to overcome something in her background or personal past in order to achieve her long-range goals and ambitions. Sometimes Soon-Yi Previn may feel pulled in two different directions - what others expect of her or what she needs to do in order to progress versus what her old conditioning or her emotional predisposition would have her do. Overcoming the pull of the past is the key.
