Stanley Kubrick
drive and ambition

Once Stanley Kubrick sets his mind on a goal, his dedication, determination, and commitment are extraordinary. Kubrick pursues his ambitions tenaciously and will stubbornly refuse to give up, let go, or be influenced in any way. Like Aesop's tortoise, Stanley labors patiently and steadfastly until he achieves what he wants - or until it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that all is lost. He is a reliable, consistent and productive worker, and he often shoulders more of the workload than his co-workers, usually without complaint. He often ends up with the nitty-gritty work. He prefers a regular routine, with definite hours and clearly defined responsibilities and tasks. In fact, establishing a pattern or routine is very important to his success because once he gets started in a certain direction, it is easy for Stanley Kubrick to kept to that path. Getting started is more difficult. Stanley Kubrick has a lazy, comfort-loving side and there is often a good deal of inertia for him to overcome before Kubrick gets going; but once he gets a momentum going, his energy level is strong and steady.

He is interested in concrete results and solid, practical achievements. Stanley Kubrick needs to have some tangible product or contribution to show for his efforts, and cannot be content with only intangible rewards (such as having a good time, learning, or spiritual enrichment). Material well-being and security is also a large factor in determining what he does. Stanley's stamina and persistence are his greatest assets, but they can also work against him; he can get caught in a rut and refuse to seize new opportunities. Stanley Kubrick also tends to play it safe, and to limit himself as a result.

Stanley Kubrick meets numerous challenges and possibly defeats in pursuit of his goals and desires, and his setbacks often occur because Stanley has been too rash or intent on working his own will regardless of the impact on others. Stanley Kubrick is intense and passionate, and simply does not know when to stop sometimes! Recklessness with others can be a problem for Kubrick.

Language, words, communication, networking, clarity of speech or writing, being a messenger or go-between - these are key features in his career, as well as how Stanley Kubrick goes about achieving his goals and ambitions. "Work smarter, not harder" is Kubrick's motto.

Stanley has an extraordinary drive for power and influence in the world, which can be used for good or ill, for his own personal aggrandizement or for achieving some wider aim.

Stanley Kubrick could be a channel for healing, transforming, revivifying energies in society or in individuals. His work will involve stimulating deep, fundamental changes and bringing to light hidden, taboo, repressed, or secret information and knowledge.

His profession could involve physical strength and prowess, such as athletics, fire fighting, law enforcement, or the military. Stanley Kubrick would never be happy in a quiet, sit-down job. Vigorous competition and strenuous work are undoubtedly key components of both what Stanley Kubrick does and how he achieves his long-range goals.

Stanley Kubrick strives to be at one with others, but somehow is not able to synchronize his feelings or viewpoints with them. Feeling disappointed, Stanley may prefer a life in seclusion and away from other people.
