Werner Erhard
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Werner's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Werner Erhard comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Werner Erhard - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Werner Erhard" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Werner a little better. This page describes the disguise Erhard wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Werner Erhard has a sensible and realistic outlook on life and his two feet are always planted firmly on the ground (though he may, on occasion, have his head in the clouds). Others often see Erhard as a rock of strength, solid, reliable, dependable, and constant. He is, in fact, amazingly consistent for he possesses great powers of endurance and does not like to make changes or adjustments to his regular routine. Werner does things deliberately and methodically and does not easily accommodate the unexpected. Though he has a gentle, even soft, appearance, Werner Erhard is enormously strong-willed and stubborn. He follows his own pace and refuses to be rushed or pushed into anything before he feels sure about it. Erhard can be coaxed and persuaded by charm, beauty, love or affection - but never forced. He will not fight either, but simply stubbornly resist any attempt at being coerced into doing something he does not want to do.

When Erhard has a purpose, he is extremely fixed, immovable, and bullheaded about it. His obstinacy is often infuriating to others, especially since it takes much provocation to make him flare up or respond to their anger. Werner Erhard appears calm, unruffled, and unemotional most of the time, but behind his easygoing and peaceable appearance there lies great strength. When it comes to a contest of wills, Werner often wins simply due to his relentless persistence and his ability to outlast just about anyone. Another reason for his reluctance to make changes is his very strong need for security. Werner is most comfortable in stable, relatively unchanging conditions and he also has a strong desire for tangible security - a home of his own, money in the bank, job security, etc. The flip side of Erhard's hankering for permanence is that he easily gets caught up in a rut and will stay in a familiar situation (e.g. job, marriage) long after it has lost its vitality and interest.

Werner Erhard has a keen appreciation of the natural world and he derives great joy from the down-to-earth comforts of the physical world, with its myriad of delights. He is quite sensual in a very natural, wholesome way and he knows how to enjoy himself. Erhard is appealing to the opposite sex in an earthy way. He is also a great lover of beauty and his tastes are basically conventional or classic - not modern.

He may be perceived as someone who provokes conflict because Werner Erhard likes to get everything out into the open and generally does not avoid disagreeable issues. His relationships with others may be marked by a great deal of competition, anger or friction as a result. Or, Erhard may seem to run into more than his share of inconsiderate, pushy people. Learning to harness his energies into joint efforts and shared endeavor is Erhard's challenge.

Werner has penetrating insight into people and a keen eye and ear for the hidden, unspoken, behind-the-scenes facets of life. He may seem intense and make other people a bit uncomfortable at times. There is also a sexual quality in Werner's manner which can be quite alluring, in a subtle way.

Werner Erhard loves children and young people and is likely to provide an intellectually stimulating environment for them. Erhard is inclined to lead an active social life and establishing relationships with others comes easy to him.

Werner Erhard has a very congenial personality and is at peace and harmony with the world around him. His personal relationships tend to be very harmonious and Werner is likely to find great satisfaction and fulfillment in love as well.
