Internal or external pressure to be victorious causes the Orange to not only face most challenges head-on, but to seek them out enthusiastically.
If Oranges don't have a mountain to climb, a record to break, a game to win, or a test to pass, they'll turn something -- anything -- into a challenge.
After all, nothing is as fun to do as a thing that cannot be done.
Oranges are masters at reframing situations to take into account only what is real and now and not what is traditional or "known.
" Thus an Orange can ride to victory on a wave of success, taken when no one expected the tide to turn.
Dealing with the real rather than the imaginary or customary frees up many resources, as well as cuts a few corners and steps on a few toes.
However, the unqualified success that comes from pulling something off more than makes up for the times when an Orange splats terribly and has to creep off to lick wounds.
From childhood, Oranges readily respond to the "I Dare You" challenge.
Many an Orange has been the first among his or her peers to jump off the high dive, smoke a cigarette, walk into the wrong locker room, say the first swear word, or throw the first spit wad at the brainiac on the front row.
It's not that they're overly susceptible to peer pressure, it's just that they don't want to resist a challenge.
Are they courageous enough? Are they bold enough? Are they daring enough? These are the characteristics they prize and value.
Naturally they seek out opportunities to prove they possess these attributes.
" Well, if you make that blunder, you've just thrown down the gauntlet, and any Orange worth his or her salt will take up the implied challenge and test you, and test you again, until they emerge victorious.
To an Orange, barriers are meant to be overcome, borders are meant to be crossed, chains are meant to be broken, and walls are meant to be scaled.
This could be good if the wall is the Iron Curtain -- but not so good if the wall surrounds Fort Knox.
The trick is to channel an Orange's "rebelliousness" into doing something more constructive than destructive.

The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it.A common mistake made by many parents or teachers of Oranges is to say, "These rules are unbreakable.
Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.
