AMBITION
Ambition is the hallmark of a successful person. Everybody follows his/ her ambition with zeal. There is no one who has no ambition in life. Everyone has come to the world with an ambition. Without any ambition in life a person is like a log of wood, which is not inspired by any thing; it simply lies thrown away in a lonely place waiting for a stark reality that it will be burnt to ashes some day. This is the fate of every human who has no aim, no hope, no desire or initiative to achieve something in life.
Unlike ancient days youth today is much more focused.They
are more determined and have a set goal for themselves. It is their
ambition and steadfast effort which enables them to reach their goal.
Swami Vivekanand said, ’’Man is the master of his destiny.’’ Ambition is the goal and persistence is the path that takes you
there.
When I was
in my teens, there were not as many options as are available to the youth today. But human nature being the same, we also
had our ambitions. My father was my role model. Right from childhood my ambition
was to achieve a position in life. With sheer
hard work and determination , I reached a high position in life.
