QUALITIES: AMBITIOUS NATURE.

               The next quality that should be possessed is an ‘ambitious nature’. According to me ambitious nature is harmless, but SHOULD NOT OBSESS

WITH AMBITION. Most people live aimlessly without any ambition. This is dangerous because you cannot simply row a boat in the vast sea without knowing where your destiny is. Achievements in science and technology did not happen in a short span of life of a single person. Each scientist worked for a particular goal and had died. Their lives and achievements are like separate units in a chain. Had they not worked for their ambition, then the scientific chain would have had lost a unit, letting us pondering over the mysteries of science.

              The primary foe to your ambition is ‘sloth’. Then the secondary enemy is ‘negative thoughts’. Learn to praise yourself even if your mind says that you are ugly. By doing so, you are managing to develop resistance against your negative thoughts. ‘The Sloth’ deters all your talents and may ruin your personality. I won’t say how to get rid of the sloth. But if you want to pursue your goal, then you should run and there is no other way. The projects you finish will live even after your death. That is where you are. You will live through your creations even after your demise.

              Don’t say that, there is no use to achieve because you won’t be there to enjoy it after your death. If great persons had thought in this manner then we may not have seen any signs of civilization. Goals can be anything, even ‘exploring the universe’ can also be your goal. Though it is not practically possible, it is better to have one such goal than being aimless. Goals (or) Ambition must be set during the last stages of teen age. Also there must be this division of long time goals and short time goals. For the former, you should keep reminding yourself then and there. Getting a degree and earning money is a short time goal. But ‘outdoing others in that respective field and taking that field to a new dimension’ is what must be your ambition/ goal by developing an ambitious nature’
