Ambition. What is it? An earnest
desire for types of achievement or distinction, such as; power, honour, fame,
or wealth and the willingness to strive for its attainment. I live to succeed
in whatever I do. I live to gain the marvellous feeling of doing well in
something whatever it may be, or doing something which helps another person to
feel at ease. However, being an ambitious person who is always striving for
success does come with obstacles. I have never been at the top of any of my
classes. Nor have I felt the astonishing feeling of getting 100% in any tests I
have taken part in. But, I do still believe that I can work towards these goals
and eventually I will pursue them.
Martin Luther King Jr once said ‘’ if
you can’t walk then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then
crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward’’. I believe that
this is a extremely powerful quote, that in times of distress we should always
think of. The ability to be perfect and achieve everything that you have ever
wanted is unreachable for anyone. Although we may not be perfect as human
beings, we can strive to be the best people that we could possibly be. I have
been in many situations when I thought ‘I can’t do this’ or ‘how will I ever do
this’ but then I have come to the realisation that thinking in that way will
never get me anywhere. I want to achieve, pursue, make myself and others proud,
but how will I possibly do those things if I don’t believe that I can?
Being ambitious is the act of being
eagerly desirous of achieving or obtaining success, power, wealth or a specific
goal. Whatever it may be that you are doing, you should try to put in all your
effort and work and it will definitely lead you to success. You should never
have to think that just because you are not outstandingly perfect at a certain
thing, that you will never be able to do it. We live in a world where we are
encouraged to be the best we can possibly be and always look forward to the
positive aspects of our lives.
Be ambitious
