The people in my life that irritate me the most are those that do not seem to have any life-goals and they give up quickly. I want to reach my goals by my own hard work, I don't want to rely on others to get there. I've never owned a horseshoe, a four-leaf clover, or a lucky penny. I don't believe in luck. Even when I have really good news, I tend to keep it to myself or only share it with my closest friends or family members.
Material success is a valid measure of success in life.
I do not believe I have ever cheated at a board game, a test, or a sport in my life. I do not believe in cheating, not matter how low the stakes. Although I enjoy hard work, I would never do it without getting rewarded for it-either in prestige or money. The issue of 'respect' is important to the typical Capricorn. They earn respect from others not from outstanding feats, but from their own persistence and endurance.
