Importance of Ambition


A person without any ambition in life is like a ship without a rudder. He has no destination. He does not have the urge to make a start. He reaches no where. He is tossed about like a straw in the wind. He achieves nothing in life. So everybody should have an ambition in life. Simply having ambition is not enough. Whatever be the ambition, it must be backed up by continuous efforts to achieve it. If a person sets an ambition before themselves, but does nothing to achieve it, his ambition is no more than idle dream or a pious resolution.

The nature of ambition varies from man to man, depending upon their family background, upbringing, social status, economic conditions and the like. Wealth is not everything in life. The ambition of some others is to earn fame so that even after their death they may be remembered. Thus, we find people trying to become ace artists, journalists, educationists, sportsmen even though these pursuits may not enable them to earn much wealth. There are others who want neither wealth nor fame. Their prime aim is targeted at serving the humanity. They believe that the service of humankind is the service of God. Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekanand had laid great stress on alleviating the suffering of the poor. Mother Teresa, the angel of peace and Baba Amte rendered service to the poor and destitute who were in need of love and care.

Some young boys and girls dream to become film stars. To become a film stars one should be ready to face intense competition. If your ambition is firm and to achieve it you endeavor assiduously you will cross every hurdle to become the film star provided you possess or acquire the pre-requisites to stardom through dogged efforts and firm determination. It will enable you to earn both wealth and fame and lead a glamorous life.
