William Randolph Hearst
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of William's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way William Randolph Hearst comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner William Randolph Hearst - 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 William Randolph Hearst" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know William a little better. This page describes the disguise Hearst wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

William Randolph Hearst 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 Hearst 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. William does things deliberately and methodically and does not easily accommodate the unexpected. Though he has a gentle, even soft, appearance, William Randolph Hearst 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. Hearst 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 Hearst 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. William Randolph Hearst 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, William 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. William 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 Hearst'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.

William Randolph Hearst 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. Hearst 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.

William Randolph Hearst has a loving and kind-hearted personality and he loves other people. Hearst can readily express his love and affection and others show their affection for Hearst. William probably had a safe and secure childhood and was allowed to make friendships early in life.
