Your first name of Gruder gives you the desire for success and financial accumulation and the confidence and drive to go after your ambitions, regardless of obstacles. You are self-sufficient and practical, and inclined to expect others to always put your needs first. Many friendships are lost because of your directness. Little gestures are not important to you, and you are prone to overlook acts of affection and kindnesses offered by others, and fail to show appreciation where it is warranted. Your thinking revolves around business and ways of making money, rather than on music, art, drama, or philosophy. An extremely independent and self-sufficient person, you dislike taking orders or advice from anyone. You believe in speaking directly and to the point, so you are candid and abrupt. You have the will to pursue your goals regardless of obstacles, but this name continually forces you to start over, never allowing you to reap the full benefit of your efforts. As a parent, you would provide the best materially and your children would be well-disciplined, but they would likely avoid turning to you for sympathy or understanding. Those in close association complain that you are not inclined to observe and return acts of kindness, compassion, or affection.
