—[r]—8 as a Personality Number will probably help to put you into the front ranks of commerce, reform movements, leadership in finance or big business. Your Personality will be that of the Judge, the final arbiter, the ranking master of all in banking or commercial circles. Dignity is the strongest trait of your personality and you will win in proportion as you are able to impress people with your dignity without appearing uppish or aloof or too imposing.
—[s]—8 as a Predominant Name Number shows that you will naturally attract to yourself many who will have fine ideas about reform movement but without any executive ability to "put them over." This you will be expected to do and many of your friends will prove to be of little use to you because they desire to use you to further their own pet schemes.
—[t]—8 as a Destiny Number makes you well able to be a great executive, with a bent toward a powerful public personality that will land you among the leaders of the nation, if you use it and keep yourself above the petty things. For this reason you must spend time to complete your education if you possibly can, no matter what your age. Keep in mind and constantly exercise your powers as a leader, at first in whatever ways may appear around you, then reach on to greater things. Your natural Destiny is leadership.
—[tt]—Public Appearance Number 8. This gives you a strong power of speech and you should do your best to get into something of that order, if your other numbers do not show too adverse an influence.
You can begin in a small way, before small groups, watching for criticisms and comments and governing yourself accordingly. But do NOT desire mere flattery. The way to stop people flattering you is to make them tell you just WHY your work is good. Study the speaking ability of famous people and read important literature.
—[u]—Warning to Number 8. Do not talk too much. Keep your plans, your ambitions to yourself. It is by exposing your plans thru the desire for praise or approval that you dissipate your "steam" or energy to execute those plans. "Plan your work, then WORK your plan," but do not tell your plan.
