Your first name of Raoud has given you energy, drive, and ambition, but also an almost excessively strong-willed and independent nature. It gives you the desire to be a leader, to pioneer new undertakings, and to try new ideas in practical, creative occupations. Over-intensity is your challenge; you put a great deal of effort into your activities, but often fail to take time to relax, to view your plans objectively, and perhaps, to consider the opinions of others. Generally, you do not like to waste time on superficial conversation. You expect a great deal of yourself and of others, and you are seldom satisfied with your accomplishments. You tend to express yourself in an opinionated, candid, and matter-of-fact manner. As it is difficult for you to express the little attentions and niceties that appeal to more sensitive natures, you attract misunderstandings with those who do not appreciate your forthright manner. Your love for others is shown more in your loyalty and sense of fair play rather than in any overt demonstrations of love and affection. This name spoils relaxation and contentment, the mental qualities necessary for good health. While you are creative, inventive, and ingenious in practical matters, and always ready to initiate and promote new undertakings, you often experience difficulty in bringing your undertakings to a successful conclusion because of your own changing interests or changing circumstances.
