Your ambitious and honest personality gives you the potential to be successful at just about any career you put your mind to.

If channeled properly, your ambition could make you a leader in your field, which was the case with Erwin Schrodinger, who was also born on August 12th. If the entertainment world is more appealing, look to the groundbreaking work of Cecil B. Demille, another of your birthday twins, for inspiration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
