Sample text
No one is allowed inside his skin, least of all his rich and loving girlfriend or the concerned and understanding counselor. Even his best friend from childhood is left in the dark about Will's feelings and his experiences. Only when he has come to understand the enduring power of love, do we see this man make an attempt to walk out of his shadows. His pride is an integral part of his character and he does just about anything to protect it. He strains against the rules and reg ulations, disagreeing with society's phony attitudes.
While others are hysterical, this man's calm, capable presence often soothes the troubled waters. He finds the solution, negotiates the peace and provides the buffer between warring parties. People instinctively trust him to be fair and he never disappoints. The BEST FRIEND is the ultimate team player. Winning is not why he joins in, he really believes that playing the game is what matters. He fits in everywhere and is universally liked. Whether he operates out of a sense of duty or genuinely enjoys giving of himself, he is always there in a pinch and sticks by friends or lovers through thick and thin.
QUALITIES Once the CHIEF locks his eyes on the prize, nothing stops him from grasping the golden ring. VIRTUES • Goal Oriented—Give the CHIEF something to aim for and he keeps going until he reaches the target. Always focused on what needs to be achieved, he plows through projects faster than most people, zeroing in on what is important and discarding the rest. • Decisive—Bring a dilemma to the CHIEF and within minutes he has come to a conclusion about the best way to handle it. Almost always right about how to solve the problem, he never needs a helping hand to accomplish the task.
