Pearl Bailey once stated, " A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings on Earth is ever so alive." Ambition is something that I believe everyone should have. However, most people especially students in high school lack this. I've noticed that people with out this characteristic in their personality tend to either fail classes or are just depressed. This is a characteristic that sets you apart from the crowd and may lead you into a success pathway in life.
Whether ambition pushes you to excel in high school or do well in sports it should be present in everyone's hearts. It is what pushes me to excel in my academics so I can go to a good college. It even pushes me to work harder at my modeling because it could lead me to being on promotional posters for H&M or even Urban outfitters. But there is a difference between having ambition and a love for what you're striving for, and having ambition to please someone else's goals.
I have seen people who want to please their parents by becoming a doctor, but they truly want to become a fashion designer. It's not about what pleases other people. Strive for what pleases you and makes you happy in life. Happiness and ambition. The perfect combination to a satisfy life. You don't want ambition that isn't pushing you toward something you don't want to do.
What is a person without ambition? Well he/ she might as well be dead. What's the point of living life with no ambition to do anything set in your heart? There really is no point. This characteristic is what helps place a purpose into your life.
Ambition. Such a powerful word that can lead to many positive things in life. I respect people with set goals to work hard to achieve them. The ability to work hard and have ambition burning in your heart is something I find quite amazing and special.
Great post. I agree that the ambition of striving to do better to set goals for yourself achieve is important. I agree that having ambition for what you want to achieve is important. When I was reading this I came across the thought that the ambtion of success is what strive individuals to become what they want, wether its a teacher,Doctor, Police,Singer..ect. Having ambition means you have to want it. Great post!

Very true, you can't really be alive without ambition. Ambition is what gives you the motivation to get up in the morning and tell yourself "you can do it" when anyone else doubts you. Having a dream can be the inspiration that pushes you to go farther and push yourself even harder to achieve what you haven't before. In my book, I believe that anything physically possible to do is achievable so why not have the ambition to stride for it? I mean ambition pretty much gives you purposes in life and the more of it you have the more alive you can really be.
ReplyDeleteI like your post because it's is so true that ambition is what makes our lives worth living because like you said if we live for other people what's the point of having our own dreams and the ambition to fufill those desires. I like how you talk about fufilling our parents wishes because many children face that dilemma, we them go into a field that we don't enjoy casuing us to have no abition for living an enjoyable life. Great post, can't wait to read more!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that ambition is good and leads to many good things. But ambition to me is also a drive in the human mind to gain knowledge or material possesion such as money, cars, houses, cool little toys...ect. Which in todays world is happiness. And this ambition i fill can be overwhelming to people that the forget to stop and see what really makes them happy and they forget to see the beauty in the world.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement that people should do what pleases them, not what pleases someone else. I believe that along with doing something you love, ambition naturally follows because you don't want to fail at that one thing that makes you happy, that once thing you're good at. It's so important for young people to have ambition because if they don't have it now, they'll never find it later in life.
ReplyDeleteLovely post!! Ambitions are so important, it really inspires me to try my hardest and keep following my dreams.
ReplyDeleteI loved your examples and way you detailed
Your views on ambition are very righteous and outstanding (:
Such a good post
Good job
This is such a great post. I definitely agree, we must find something to live for. Seting goals for yourself is first step towards success. We should also be happy with the things we do and have passion for them. Being successful in life should be our priority.
