Terry Melcher
drive and ambition

Once Terry Melcher sets his mind on a goal, his dedication, determination, and commitment are extraordinary. Melcher pursues his ambitions tenaciously and will stubbornly refuse to give up, let go, or be influenced in any way. Like Aesop's tortoise, Terry 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 Terry Melcher to kept to that path. Getting started is more difficult.

He is interested in concrete results and solid, practical achievements. Terry Melcher 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. Terry'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. Terry Melcher also tends to play it safe, and to limit himself as a result.

Asserting himself and being direct and forceful about what he wants is very often difficult for Terry.

He may have to overcome something in his background or personal past in order to achieve his long-range goals and ambitions. Sometimes Terry Melcher is apt to feel pulled in two different directions - what others expect of him or what he needs to do to progress, versus what his old conditioning or his emotional predisposition would have him do.
