They are also extremely idealistic about relationships and believe in having a soul mate. Family is also extremely important for people born on this day and they are capable of making enormous sacrifice for those they love.
Health Take more time out
Because they tend to drive themselves so hard, those born on this day are prone to stress, fatigue and a lowered immune system.

It is essential that they take regular time out and eat a healthy and balanced diet to ensure they are getting all the nutrients they need to stay strong and healthy. As far as exercise is concerned, gentle exercise is recommended as they can be fatally attracted to extreme and dangerous sports. They may be reluctant to take a gentle daily workout or even go on holiday, but both are essential for them to help restore balance in their lives. A cup of lemon balm herbal tea will help promote digestion and induce calm.

Pay others compliments more often
The more you can make others feel good about themselves, the more impressed they are likely to be by you.
People born on January 10 are a force to be reckoned with. They feel an irresistible urge to speak their mind at all times. As a result they are highly valued by others for their honesty and for their realistic assessment of a situation. They are never afraid to support an unconventional viewpoint and to champion the underdog.
Those born on this day tell it like it is, and this quality can bring them success and admiration, taking them to the very top. On the downside, their inability to sugarcoat or dress up the truth can on occasion upset people around them, stopping them advancing as fast in life as their more diplomatic peers. The trouble with the straight-shooting approach is that it doesn’t take into account the possibility of hope, and so January 10 people can sometimes come across as grumpy. This isn’t, however, a fair reflection of their personality. They are neither negative people nor are they unhappy; they just see things the way they are, warts and all. Typically around the age of forty-one, often sooner, they become more emotionally sensitive to the needs of others.
Although the no-nonsense approach of people born on this day can shock others on first contact, in the long term people often find their clear-sighted approach very refreshing; in times of crisis or uncertainty people will seek advice from people born on this day. Although more than happy to take on this role—as the respect of others is important for them—the very same qualities that earned them respect from others can also create distance as they may find it hard to empathize with people less able to cope with change and the ups and downs of life. Once they begin to understand that not everyone is as clear-sighted as they are, and that a gentle approach can help them achieve their objectives more effectively, people born on this day discover that not only can they earn the lasting loyalty of others, they also have the ability to make a powerful impact on the world around them.

Love Not a closed book
There is a tendency for those born on January 10 to come across as a bit of a closed book. Lack of trust in others can make them act in a controlling, jealous and sometimes unfaithful manner. Material considerations can also become too important a factor in close relationships. However, when they find a lover who sees the generosity and vulnerability behind their pride and their rough and ready exterior, they can be sensual and passionate lovers.
Health Stay flexible
The tough, hardy exterior of people born on this day can manifest in health problems associated with rigidity, such as backache, arthritis, poor circulation and so on. They need to find an energetic physical outlet such as squash, aerobics or rock climbing; yoga or stretching for flexibility can help temper their strength with calmness. A healthy diet and plenty of fresh air and sunshine are also recommended, as these will help keep them feeling physically and emotionally light. If they find themselves feeling sad for no apparent reason, a bergamot-scented candle can help lift their mood. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color orange will encourage them to be more spontaneous.
Career Born troubleshooters
Careers in which they can solve problems for others or troubleshoot have great appeal for these people; for example, building, construction or computer programming. If attracted to the arts, financial rewards will be important; they will go for big-business ideas rather than specialist niches and they are also likely to excel in careers that offer good financial return, such as management, advertising and promotion. Their unconventional flair may lead them to explore the unknown; space tourist travel may have particular appeal.
