Can You Define Ambition?


Ambition is often understood as the strong desire to achieve or do something in the future. For someone to fulfil their life to the fullest they have to have inspiration, ambition and motivation. These three words are all dependent on each other they are like three steps. If one step does not happen the next one would not be possible. If you had no inspiration you would have no ambition or motivation.


I want to be a Physiotherapist in the future for a big sports team or an individual athlete. My love and passion for caring for others and for sports, inspired me to want to do this job. My ambition would not become a reality without motivation and my motivation relies on the desire to do this profession.


Nothing in life is served to you on a plate; you have to work hard to fulfil your dreams and desires. Athletes are inspired by their love of a sport to become a professional and then they have ambition to fulfil that dream. This is followed by the ambition and the desire and determination motivating


Ambition - What is it?


It is an earnest desire for types of achievement or distinction, such as; power, honour, fame, or wealth and the willingness to strive for its attainment.


I live to succeed in whatever I do. I live to gain the marvellous feeling of doing well in something, whatever it may be, or doing something that helps another


the person to make it a reality. Some people find it harder to have an ambition but everyone has ambition somewhere, though they may not know it yet.


Without ambition no one will have the desire to fulfil their dreams, they will just do something for the money not for the enjoyment or pleasure it brings. Even


person to feel at ease. However, being an ambitious person who is always striving for success does come with obstacles. I have never been at the top of any of my classes. Nor have I felt the astonishing feeling of getting 100% in any tests I have taken part in. Nevertheless, I do still believe that I can work towards these goals and eventually I will achieve them.


Martin Luther King Jr once said, “If you can’t walk then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.’’ I believe that this is an extremely powerful quote, that in times of distress we should always think of. The ability to be perfect and achieve everything that you have ever wanted is unreachable for everyone. Although we may not be perfect as human beings, we can strive to be the best people that we can possibly be. I have been in many situations when I thought, “I cannot do this” or, “How will I ever do this”, but


people who have a troubled life will still have ambition for things such as a better future. Ambition is different for everyone and not one person will have the exact same ambition or understanding of the word.

then I have come to the realisation that thinking in that way will never get me anywhere. I want to achieve, pursue, make myself and others proud, but how will I possibly be able to do those things if I do not believe that I can?


Being ambitious is the act of being eagerly desirous of achieving or obtaining success, power, wealth or a specific goal. Whatever it may be that you are doing, you should try to expend all your effort and work and it will definitely lead you to success. You should never have to think that just because you are not outstandingly perfect at a certain thing, that you will never be able to do it.


We live in a world where we are encouraged to be the best we can possibly be and always look forward to the positive aspects of our lives.


Be ambitious.
