Ambition........

Some people have it and some people don't. Ambition is a wonderful thing for a person to have in their life, because if you have it when you're young, chances are you'll have it as you grow old as well. It's a valuable possession; precious as gold. With ambition on your side, you can't go wrong. It can be as simple as having the ambition to get out of bed in the morning, which in turn can lead to actually getting dressed and venturing outdoors for the day. Or it can be as great as having the ambition to decide to go to school, pursue a college education and go on to greater things in life. Ambition is the key to a successful life........or so they say. For every ambitious person out there, there's also someone out there who is just willing to accept whatever life brings (I sometimes wonder if those people have ambition). For some, working overtime is never a problem, while others stand around the time clock waiting to cheat time. People percieve ambition differently, and rightly so; not everyone is created equal. I struggle to understand why some people seem to have more ambition than others; then again, maybe I'm blind and don't really see the ambition that some people truly have. I've come to the conclusion that ambition, whichever kind a person possesses, can be an expensive yearning, one that requires an enormous emotional investment. Like any investment though, it can pay off in countless different kinds of coin. The trick is recognizing the riches when they come your way!
