Your first name of Mari-Laura gives you a responsible, systematic, and practical nature, able to excel in technical fields or as a teacher and you would also enjoy the practical arts. You rebel at being rushed or put under pressure. Nevertheless, you do have a strong sense of responsibility for the welfare of others and a willingness to be helpful. In the home, you would seek to maintain order and system through using proper disciplinary measures. That is when you can become somewhat inflexible. You feel a sense of security in positions of responsibility where progress is made through systematic, step-by-step procedures. You could excel in accomplishments of a technical nature where concentration and attention to detail are important. Being methodical, you work best where you have the time to do a good job, although you can be too fussy at times finding it difficult to react spontaneously to new ideas from others. There is a tendency to assume more than your share of duties, and others could impose on your good nature, thus over-burdening you with responsibilities that could cause you to worry. You appreciate home and settled conditions and take on a lot of responsibility to ensure that your home life functions efficiently.
