Warren Buffett
motivation
Although Warren Buffett approaches life instinctively and intuitively (as described on the previous page), he also has a very analytical, rational, unemotional side, as discussed below. His conflicting urges may vacillate between living passionately and dangerously, and being conservative and playing it safe.
At heart Warren Buffett is modest and humble and rarely strives to be in the limelight or in a position of power. Warren Buffett has a sharp analytical mind, a keen eye for detail, and prefers to observe, dissect, and study life from a distance. Conscientious and conservative, Buffett can be relied upon to be cautious, efficient, and thorough in his work and he takes pride in a job well done. What he may lack in self-confidence Warren Buffett often makes up for in skills - fostering expertise, technical knowledge and competence in a specialized area. He is adept at using his hands to create or fix things, and meticulous attention to detail and careful craftsmanship are his forte. Some would say he is a little too meticulous, for Buffett can be extremely critical and petty if everything is not done exactly as he thinks it should be, and he worries about things that other people consider trivial and unimportant. Warren Buffett likes to organize, categorize and arrange everything into a logical system and is often distinctly uncomfortable when something does not fit into a neat category. Disorganization vexes Buffett. He probably wishes that he were not such a perfectionist, for besides being a stickler for details, Buffett can also be mercilessly self-critical. Whether in his environment or within himself, Buffett tends to focus on the flaws, with a desire to improve, refine, and perfect. He is strictly factual, truthful, and scrupulously honest in his self-assessment and often does not give himself enough praise or credit.
He is also highly discriminating and may be especially particular about his diet, hygiene, and health habits. Warren has high aesthetic standards and refined sensitivities, and is bothered by environmental elements (such as disorder, cigarette smoke, etc.) that others overlook. His tastes are simple and understated, yet refined. He is truly offended by coarseness, bluntness and vulgarity. Buffett can sometimes be difficult to live with because of his fastidiousness, sensitivity and idiosyncrasies about food and cleanliness.
Though Warren Buffett seems rather cool and self-contained, he is very helpful by nature and enjoys serving others. He is content to play a supporting role rather than the lead. He is quietly devoted to the ones he cares for.
He is cautious, realistic and practical in his approach to life and disinclined to gamble. Warren Buffett analyzes before he acts. He is sometimes too serious. If Buffett allowed himself to play and make mistakes, it would be highly beneficial to his health!
His career, reputation, and public image are very important to Buffett. Warren Buffett has a strong desire to be influential or make his mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy him; his ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for his unique effort and gifts. Warren Buffett may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.
Warren Buffett often feels that he is at cross purposes with himself, for his conscious intentions and desires conflict with his subconscious emotional needs and drives. He is torn in two different directions. Warren has difficulty satisfying both his need to be an individual and his need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. Moreover, Warren sends out mixed messages so people do not always know how to respond to him or what Warren really wants, thereby creating confusion or conflict in close relationships.
Realistic and practical, Warren Buffett sets goals for himself that are modest enough for him to actually achieve. He is able to tackle long, difficult projects and see them through, for Buffett possesses self-discipline, concentration and perseverance. Warren Buffett also has a strong sense of responsibility and is very conscientious about fulfilling his obligations. Buffett often does things because he feels it is expected of him.
While he is realistic and conscientious (or overly conscientious), as described above, Warren Buffett also has an otherworldly, dreamy, or mystically-inclined side, as described below.
Sensitive and imaginative, he is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits and to mysticism. Warren Buffett is impressionable and receptive, and often has experiences that are unusual and unexplainable by the rational mind. Warren has an abundance of dreams, visions and longings, but does not always have the concentrated will and stamina to make them materialize. Gentle, idealistic and peace loving, Warren often seeks to avoid the harsh realities of life. Warren has an ethereal quality about him.
Buffett has an intrinsic creative and artistic ability and an unusual sense of form. Warren Buffett also has a deep need for relationships that offer affection and can be quite intense when by inner compulsion he feels drawn to someone. His relationships tend to be peculiar in some way.
