Is it fine to be Ambitious?

Hi guys! I hope you had a smashing weekend. I'm here with my second article on "Is it fine to be AMBITIOUS?" I hope you enjoy reading this. 

The word “Ambitious” is considered to be a negative word by some people. But actually, it’s not.

Being “Ambitious” is a strong desire to fulfill your goals “at any cost”.

 At any cost?

Yes, I believe, “at any cost” as long as you’re not harming someone else.

You are the controller of your life and you have the right to mould it your way. If you want something and you’re working hard for it, then take any path that helps you to reach your goal.

By “any” I don’t mean a wrong path, I mean do everything that’s possible to fulfill your goal without harming yourself and anyone else. If you have to walk on the edge to fulfill your goal, then walk, without any fear of losing your entirety.

Sometimes, hard work is not enough; you’ve to play smart in order to achieve your goals. No offense to anyone, but even a donkey does hard work, but “Gadha” or “Donkey” is still considered as the most stupid and brainless animal, and saying “Donkey” to anyone is a way of mocking them. The importance of smart work is immense.

A mason works harder than a man sitting in his office in front of a laptop, attending clients, and business meetings. This is the capacity of “smart work”, it can turn the tide. The reason why a businessman or a doctor or any associate gets to that position is because of their hard work, and the reason why they remain in that position and grow eventually is associated with their smart work.

So, smart work gives us a plethora of opportunities. It’s just a matter of understanding the situation and thinking “smart”.

I have recently ended up reading a novel, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. The author has given a perfect example to show, how much our desire to get our goal is necessary.

Edwin C. Barnes wanted to work with Thomas Edison, nor for him. To meet “The Thomas Edison” was not an easy task. Barnes did not had money for the rail fare to go to Edison and most importantly, he did not know Edison. But there was nothing that could stop him to fulfill his desire. Barnes traveled by a freight train to meet him. When he reached his office, he announced that he had come to go into business with the inventor.

He presented him so confidently in front of Edison, that Edison had to work with him. He faced many hardships, traveling on a freight train with no money was a big risk. Yes, he lied about getting into business with Edison. If he hadn’t said so, he wouldn’t be able to meet Edison face to face. But all this paid off when he got a job in Edison’s office. And later he became a partner with Edison. He achieved what he desired. That’s how he played smart.

We all need to inculcate in ourselves, this ability to do hard work without compensating on smart work. Hard work will get you nowhere without being “Smart”.

There is nothing wrong with being Ambitious. There is absolutely nothing wrong in wanting everything and having it all as well.

You don’t have to be scared for wanting more for yourself. Because yes, my friends, you can have everything you wish you could. Yes, there will be people suppressing you, there will the society pulling you behind, there will be some rules that everyone would expect you to follow. But rules are meant to be broken if they don’t benefit you in any sense.

We all are familiar with the Mahabharata war, even God had the audacity to follow some bogus ways in order to do what was right for the society, in order to set up an example that “Truth is going to prevail, It's certain to exist and to maintain its existence, sometimes we have to do dodgy things as well”.

Don’t be scared of anything, take every hurdle as a new opportunity to get closer towards your goal. And you’ll be able to achieve it in the last.

 We just need to remember three rules to be able to achieve our goals:

1.      Stay focused, work smart, and take on risks.

2.       Do not take the wrong path.

3.      Never harm others for your benefit.

 

 

Opened my wings

I’m ready to sing

To Dodge the odds

And face the plods

Want to do this

And want to do that

Yes it’s all possible

Coz I’ve the faith

The thirst within

Keeps me alarmed

No stopping, no waiting

Small steps each day are awaiting

Sometimes I’ll run

And sometimes just walk

But my desires won’t stop

Yes, I am going to have it all

For I’ll break every wall

 

 

I hope, now you’ve understood the importance of being ambitious in order to achieve all your goals. I’m sure you will. Your desire along with hard work and smart work will take you closer towards your goal each day.
