Ambition

A strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work that is what it says when you look up Ambition in the dictionary. When I look at that definition I think about a strong desire to accomplish a goal with out having anything get in the way or finding a way to come across any obstacles that come at you. 


An example that comes to me about having ambition is getting accepted into your college of choice and doing everything you need to do to accomplish that goal. The things you would do is always being on top of your school work, making up any work to keep your grades above the GPA required to make sure you have a guaranteed acceptance, being well rounded in school and out of school for your community, doing good on your sat's and act's. Having ambition is not forced upon you it is by choice because you really want to get to that school of your dreams or goal and that is where having drive and motivation comes into place. 


Being ambitious can come off in a bad way which consists of being obnoxious by coming off as someone who knows everything when they really do not and are just cocky about it. Even worse if someone does something to someone they can have ambition to get revenge on that person and harm themselves or that other person. 


Having good ambition in my opinon can get you very far in life if you look at it in a positive way not thinking as having to do a lot to accomplish one little goal, that "little" goal can be a life changing moment at the end.
