Ambition leads to success.The biggest catastrophe for someone is losing his ambition.Ambition is not the monopoly of the great,it can be holded by everyone.A politician may have the ambition to make the world peaceful,a peasant may have the ambition to be the wealthiest in his area.In some sense,ambition is one's dream.It is a dream that one would like to make all his passion and effort to realize.A man with no ambition is like a vessel with no rudder.Without ambition,one cannot persist in study,work,etc.
In the catalogue of a book entitled "Think and Grow Rich" you will find the word "desire".Virtually ambition is a kind of desire.With the ambition to make people's life better,Thomas Edison became a great inventor.With the ambition to discover the rules hidden in universe,Albert Einstein discovered the theory of relativity.With the ambition to discover the relationships among the creatures,Charles Darwin discovered the theory of biological evolution.
Without the utilization of ambition,one's imagination will be confined.Inspiration will not circulate around his brain.And only when he is confronted with the fact that he has achieved nothing will he realize how important and useful ambition is.The penalty for neglecting this is failure.
With resort to ambition,one can exert himself to the maximum.
