First off I would like to start off by saying hello, so... HELLO!!! I am the second eldest of four. I like to keep my friends close and I have a whole lot of love to give. Anything else, just ask. ... "Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure. Never forget your Personal Legend. Never forget your dreams. Your silent heart will guide you. Be silent now. It is the possibility of a dream that makes life interesting. You can choose between being a victim of destiny or an adventurer who is fighting for something important." -- Paulo Coelho, Novelist. His works include The Alchemist, The Zahir and The Devil and Miss Prym. ... OCTOBER 7: THE DAY OF DEFIANCE ... Those born on October 7 have a strongly rebellious streak which surfaces sooner or later in their lives. Those born on this day are strongly convinced of their own belief system which more often than not is in direct conflict with the mores of the society or in which they live. Their need to protest is often accompanied by a wish to change things positively as they see it. Consequently, they often seek to attain a commanding position giving them the authority to effect such changes. Those born on this day are in fact rarely ambitious for personal reasons, but rather want to acquire power to further their social ideals. The critical nature of October 7 people (being against, anti-, protesting, etc.) is not always immediately evident on first meeting due to their often charming manner. They may seem to be living at the center of their own personal drama. However in a short time their piercing and insightful views become apparent. Usually they do not mince words on any subject, saying straight out what they think, but often with a large dose of humor and some degree of tact. Thye have a good insight into the workings of the human mind and therefore quickly size up the personal psychology of the individual they are dealing with at any given moment. Most often, those born on this day do not waste time trying to legitimize their behavior but simply go ahead and act as they see most appropriate. October 7 peopls, then, are very strong-minded. Problems can arise when those born on this day become part of an organization. Though the group may in general embody the ideals they themselves support, October 7 people must nonetheless define the role they must play within that organization. As their own principles and politics can be in a process of evolution, questions concerning leadership, cooperation and loyalty can become quite pressing concerns. Another conflict in the October 7 character is between moral and immoral behavior. Those born on this day are not amoral people, for when they sin they usually do so with a full sense of what they are doing. But in their world of changing mores, they may not always have a firm idea of what they consider wrong and right. Therefore, they must avoid glorifying their rebelliousness while condemning those who uphold the status quo, as they may come to better understand the other sides's point of view at a later date. October 7 people may well say they only wish to be left alone. Yet as solitary as they see themselves and perhaps wish to be, their fate seems to be thrown in again and again with their fellow human beings. But because they are often considered mavericks by others, they may be unfairly excluded by the more conventional in society. Therefore, those born on this day must try to broaden their base of social contact by actively seeking out not only those whom they respect but also those with whom they can share warmth and intimacy.
