5 x what you can learn from a Capricorn

Are you a Capricorn? Then you are in a nice row. Elvis was one, Marlene Dietrich and Richard Nixon, and also David Bowie, Martin Luther King, Lebron James and Joan of Arc. Capricorns are persevering, biters, and fighters. They have, of course, just like everyone else, their downsides, but if you want to strive for the highest achievable, let yourself be inspired by the Capricorn.

1. Look up, step by step
I, myself a Capricorn, once said in an interview (I was asked how I had planned my career) that I never planned, but I did climb. That became the headline of the story: ‘No planning, but climbing’. And I think that is the crux of the Capricorn. He steadily moves on. Up that mountain. Sometimes the mountain range is wild and rough and you almost tumble into the abyss, then again you can catch your breath on a mountain plateau and afterwards you stand proudly on top looking over the plain. Just keep going then.

2. Being solo
Of all the zodiac signs, the Capricorn is not the biggest people person. The Capricorn finds that a waste of time. He wants to know who will be there for him in difficult times, because that is what it’s all about, up there in the mountains. Everything that doesn’t pass that selection is discarded. Why chat with someone who, when it comes down to it, will do nothing for you? The Capricorn has no interest in that and thus does not waste precious time.

3. Being loyal
The Capricorn may not be a people person, but they are fiercely loyal. Capricorns have long friendships and relationships. When they commit, they do so with skin, hair, heart, and soul. They also put that dedication into their work, which can lead to success.

4. Daring to be different
So not a people person and not taking anything for granted. Capricorns will regularly ask themselves why they do or have to do something and what someone says and why. Then the Capricorn will wonder if he agrees with that. And if not, he chooses his own path, rolls up his sleeves, and speaks out. I had a dream, remember?

5. They are optimistic
Probably because they want to achieve their goals so badly, they will make those goals seem achievable in their eyes, and optimism is a perfect tool for that. That rain shower is good for the plants, and afterwards, it’s extra nice to sit on the couch after a warm shower. That is the Capricorn in a nutshell.
