“Ambition”
An ambition is an eager, and sometimes an excessive, desire for creation, honor, ascendancy, power, or the attainment of something. Every person is said to have his or her anomalous ambition. One might have dream to be rich, or having a villa. On the other side, one wants to become famous, a scientist or a doctor. Similarly, I have too my own ambition. I don’t want to become wealthy; I don’t want to get any fame. My aim of life is very simple and it is to serve poor people who are not getting enough to survive in this world with all of my heart. It’s said to be that person can be judged from what he wants to get in his life; and how he gets it; obviously it’s his ambition of life. There is one colloquia saying about ambition in life is that a person without any ambition in life is like a ship without a rudder who has no destination. I am really supporting this quote.
We are never likely told to cross a bridge until and unless we come to a bridge, but this is the world in which ambition help us cross that bridge faster than other people. Some people think ambition and dreams is equal. But there is a thin wall between ambition and dreams. Ambition generally defined as somebody having a desire, a much stronger feeling than a dream. A dream is something that we can normally get without trying too much toward to achieve it. Ambition is the forces that keep us working and makes us go forward in our life. It’s the super energy which energized me when I was facing a problem in the path of my goal. There is only one way to achieve any aim: simply moving forward with continuous improvement and passionate hard working and, obviously, with honesty and dedication to achieve it. Having ambition is just not enough. One must have to do continuous effort to achieve it. Maybe there is some obstacle, but it can be overcome only by self-esteem and a strong desire to achieve that ambition. If someone is only day dreaming and only planning

    Ambition is the strong desire to achieve a specific goal and is often driven by determination. It can guide people to achieve goals and aspirations, and some are willing to do anything in order to satisfy their ambitious personalities. The French military and political Napoleon Bonaparte successfully defined what ambition truly is by stating, “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 principles which direct them.” In other words, ambition is not only aspirations that will help people strive to their successes, but it can also fuel a dangerous desire that people will manipulate and use toward ruthless acts. The desire to achieve has proven to emphasize…

When people have too much ambition they almost always lose control over their life, they’re so focused on their goal they do not think about the outcome.

They do not realize until after they have done their heinous deeds that they cannot even enjoy their success. In William Shakespeare's Macbeth, ambition is lethal and eventually consumes a person until they can hardly relish in their success, a concept shown by the characters Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and Macduff.…

    Although there may be some benefits, there are also several risks to ambition. One of the risks of ambition is the decline of good health and social life. One good example would be when Victor Frankenstein put everything aside and only focused on his creation of a living being (Shelly 35 #18). Victor was so focused on making a living thing that he forgot about himself and others. Ambition can lead to good and/or bad things in one’s life but in the end, it doesn’t even matter.…

    Ambition is not so much the desire to achieve, but the action or method of getting to that desire, without the action it is merely a dream. When an individual speaks about ambition there is a straight idea of positivity embedded into it. Carol Anne Duffy’s education for leisure and Shakespeare’s Macbeth both have a very strong link to ambition and power, but they are by no means positive ambitions. In this essay I am going to analyse and compare the two piece of text.…

    Ambition is a word that I believe can relate to anyone at some point of his or her life. The dictionary defines it, as “a strong desire to do or achieve something” (Dictionary.com) which I think doesn’t show any negative connotation or actions. However, it is ambition what has lead many people in history and throughout time to commit acts that are considered immoral or unethical with the only objective to achieve what the person desires. In literature, there are also millions of examples where ambition is present and where the characters have to suffer the consequences of their actions. These outcomes are also part of what happens when ambition takes the lead and makes…

    The song “Tatsulok” by Bamboo is about a system of corruption and oppression brought about ­by the triangle of power that we are now living in. In the Philippines, the effects of this “triangle” can be vividly seen throughout the country; murders, stolen funds, mistaken identities and poverty-stricken people because of corruption. The song gives a clearer sound to what the country is crying for and why the people of this country are suffering and being punished with injustice every day. People are blinded with the notion that racism is the enemy and color and birthplace is the center for injustice but we are gravely mistaken because as long as there is poverty to be seen, and justice to be given only to the rich and powerful, nothing good will come to our country and to our people. I am growing up in a country with officials that are like wolves where they stalk on the easiest prey at the blink of an eye, it would surprise me if one of them would do something out of pure charity, “being truly generous” is starting to be extinct, with the way our system is progressing. The true nature of this “triangle” is that it all favors to who is on top and respectively, it all disfavors to who is at the bottom and because of this; we are continually being pulled down by our own wrongdoings. A country that lives with two faces, a face which does everything to help the people, and a face that works in the dark to pull strings in self-favor. I have seen how this triangle works and I can personally say that as time passes, the gap between the top and bottom is starting to distance further, which can mean only one thing; the prosperity of the people and the economy is determined by the battle between the two faces of a nation that thrive in a triangle of power.…
