...Ambition Takes You Far...
Ambition can be defined as an eager or strong desire to accomplish something. Anyone that has ever created anything, given this world any value, or simply aspired to greater heights, had to have a certain ambitious quality in their personality.
Ambition can be powerful. Ambition helps a person mobilize his resources. Ambition enables someone to face challenges and persist. Ambition prevents a person from giving up.
A person with a high degree of ambition will be able to accomplish much more than someone with similar intelligence and skills but without ambition.
Ambition enables a person to overcome laziness and a tendency to procrastinate. When you have an authentic ambition to excel in a certain area, you will put in the necessary time and energy to gain the knowledge. You will have the energy to practice the skill you want to perfect
Ambition helps you overcome potential obstacles that might get in the way. The stronger your ambition, the less any obstacle can deter you from proceeding.
“Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small
people always do that, but the really great make you believe that
you too can become great.”
- Mark Twain
“Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those
endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All
depends on the principals which direct them.”
- Napoleon Bonaparte
“If you have a great ambition, take as big a step as possible in
the direction of fulfilling it. The step may only be a tiny one, but
trust that it may be the largest one possible for now.”
- Mildred Mcafee
