Ambition
Ambition can mean so many things to many
people. Ambition to me is priceless. It’s something that’s in
your veins. It’s easy to dream a dream, though it is harder to
live it. Someone asked me once to, “Define Ambition for
me.” I said, my ambition is to win in life, to get myself a
good job, to live a good life, and when I grow up to help my
mom with her bills if she ever needs it. Also, I’ll look out
for the people who were always there for me when I was
down and those who helped me get back up. I have learned
from my past that family is everything and that money is
less important. As long as your mother loves you, don’t
ever love a woman. I learned that I had to get my priorities
straight and that my family meant everything to me.
Anybody can dream big and hope for the best, but ambition
is what makes those dreams come to reality. Everyone can
have those big dreams, because it’s so easy to do, but very
few can make them a reality. That is why I told myself if I
want something, I have to go out and get it. Ambition is
free and everyone has a little ambition in them. Ambition
comes from within yourself and flows throughout your
body. It’s within you. You have to want it.
Some people think ambition is just a make believe
thing, but it is a way of life or a mindset. It’s a desire for
some type of achievement or distinction, such as power,
honor, fame, or wealth, and the willingness to strive for its
attainment. In some people, ambition is stronger than
others. My ambition is stronger than anything. I say to
anybody trying to knock me down, “Well, good luck and
good wishes to you.” I’ve got nothing against people who
try to hurt me or try to make something out of nothing. I
just wish well to my foes.
That’s what ambition is to me. One thing to always
remember is that ambition is something priceless. It’s
