Your first name of Monteiro 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. You have leadership skills inasmuch as you see what is required to run an organization and where human resources would be best suited; however, your dogmatic approach in directing people can create resentment and antagonism, and undermine progress in getting tasks completed. You tend to feel very frustrated in being unable to realize your ambitions fully. Although you are staunch and loyal, your lack of awareness of the needs of others, combined with your blunt and candid expression, can create hurt feelings that lead to conflict and unhappiness in relationships. If you have an interest in developing artistic qualities, you would take an original approach and possibly turn a profit on the results. Many friendships are lost because of your directness. You could be inventive and creative along practical lines. 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.
