"If you don’t have ambition, you shouldn’t be alive" – Aliko Dangote
Being ambitious is aiming towards something significant. We naturally grow physically but something propels it; what we eat and drink. The same is applicable if you care to grow who you are and what you have, increase your level of ambition towards being the best. “Ambition leads me not only farther than any other man has been before me, but as far as I think it possible for man to go” says James Cook.
If you are complaining about the bad situation of things, please check yourself. It means you believe in benefiting rather than contributing. An ambitious man is a producer not a consumer, with the knowledge of being the ultimate benefactor at the end. Napoleon Bonaparte believes “Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.” The world will be a better place if we have people with ambition guided by positive principles more than people with selfish and negative principles.
I have noticed genius and smart guys are always successful in one way or another, but not as successful as ambitious men with little intelligent as supported by Salvador Dali, “Intelligence without ambition is like a bird without wings.” That is why we see the genius and smart guys working for the less intelligent men with lots of ambition. Jay Leno says “Ambition beats genius 99% of the time”. “A man without ambition is like a beautiful worm--it can creep, but it cannot fly” – author unknown.
Ambition follows your dream. What is the essence of dream, if you can not make it big enough than your self. Believe me, the bigger the better. Your dream will come true, but not beyond how big you want it.
Keep dream, keep dreaming big.
Never give up
