It’s called knowledge ambitious. Some children go to school because they have to, however there are someone’s who want to study. Study to change the world in the future, to become scientist and discover new things. They have a lot of ambitions to get PhD.

An ambition coupled with a good goal brings success and prosperity. There is one movie based on real story “Pursuit of Happyness”.

    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.

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.

    Ambition is a difficult trait to pin down because it is so humanly, we all have dreams and strive to be something in life. On the one hand, we want praise ambition, yet on the other we want to warn against it. Literature especially, take a big role on the approach of the theme Ambition. You see many characters in stories putting fourth efforts to fulfill their wishes and who push themselves past what is thought to be capable.

    "The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark." This quote is significant to a wide variety of people for the mere fact that everyone goes through this. I think that at one point or another, most people will realize goals are meant to be set high rather than low. I also believe people often experience this danger through becoming lazy. The human race is much too powerful to be unproductive. If we set our aim too low, we become incapable of reaching our goals. True satisfaction comes from hard work and morals. An example of this comes from literature. It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini, tells the hardships of a young man who becomes suicidal and checks himself into a psychiatric hospital. The young man, Craig was at his deepest set of depression when he had no motivation. However, when Craig stayed positive with his goals set high; he overcame depression. Another example comes from a film called "Rudy." When Rudy experiences pain and hardships he refuses to be let down. As Rudy reaches for a goal most believe to be out of his reach, he does his best and proves them wrong. From history, we learn that Rosa Parks was a woman who embodied this quote. It was the year 1955 in Alabama, when Parks refused to obey a bus driver's order that she give up her seat and make room for a white passenger. Her action showed she had something to prove, and she was not going to be pushed around anymore.…

    There are over ambitious, averagely ambitious, and under ambitious people. To succeed in life, a person should try to be averagely ambitious. It will help drive you to achieve your goals. But you don't want to try too hard to make these goals happen. When achieving your goals, make sure you are doing it for you and not for other people. You have to balance your ambition to get it just right. Don't let it consume you, but still make a point to bring up the plan and work towards it every once in a while. Make sure you choose your dreams and goals wisely. "Ambition is always a good trait even if it's sources were self doubts and insecurities. It's important to understand the real drive behind your ambition so that you know whether you are on the right track or whether you are just trying to prove something to others"(M.Farouk Radwan, MSc., Why Ambition Can be Bad). Have dreams, be courageous, and don’t be afraid to choose a goal in life that you want for…

    Most people look at ambition as an amazing trait to have, but this powerful trait can also lead to many problems. Ambition is a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. Almost everyone demonstrates this trait in some kind of way, for example most kids have the ambition to be successful or have kids and a family when they grow up. I agree that it is good to be ambitious in life because ambition is what you’re passionate about; you have to have a goal to succeed. I also agree that you won’t get anywhere in life without being ambitious or goal-oriented about something. Ambition can be looked at in two ways; it’s up to that person to use it for good or for evil.…
