Think Big Dream High, E 19- A person with no ambition

Ambition

1. Try stretching your arms. Obviously there is a limit to what you can do.

2. When it comes to ambition, there is no limit at all. All of us have ambitions, sometimes we have more then just one ambition. We also regularly improve our ambitions from time to time.

3. However, there are those in our community with no meaningful ambition in life. Not having a realistic ambition. Not realizing the fact that having an ambition does affect one’s life.

4. When we have an ambition, we must strive hard to achieve it. Ambition will continuously motivate us to do the best we can to ensure what we want in life will be achieved.

5. Most of the time we do not place much importance on our ambition and its impact on our lives. We fail to have a meaningful ambition. We fail to understand that having an ambition will be the push factor to improve our well being and those of our family as well.

Reality in life

1.The fact is we do not have any meaningful ambition at all. More like the delusions of a Walter Mitty. Ambitions that do not hold us down to achieve it.

2. By our own definitions and assumptions, our present lifestyle is adequate and comfortable enough hence less attention given to ambition.

3. What we have in mind is only to comfort and entertain our desires. We exist but only as a living skeleton. Day in day out, life is a straight line, nothing changes. It follows the same routine from the moment we got out of bed and going to bed again.

Tips

1.Ambitions are the driving force and guidelines behind our daily live’s routine. It adds excitement and create challenges to our lives.

2.We actually exists and not as skeletons only. We need to appreciate that we are living. We have roles and responsibilities.

3. Be action oriented. Always hoping, expecting and looking forward to live for the next day and days to come.

4.Ambitions have to be specific and achievable (like I want to be a millionaire). Ambitions have to be clear as to the timing and period to achieve it (like on my 30th birthday). Ambitions have to be clear on the means and methods to achieve it(like be involved in real estate business as soon as I graduate). Ambitions must have the processes and standards of achievements (like the balance in my banking account increases 50% more than the previous three months balance). Ambitions must have room for improvements until fully attainable (like my business need to expand beyond the Klang Valley, to Johor Baru in the next month and early next year to be in Mecca. I need an Arabian to be my partner from June this year).

5.The minds of those with ambitions is like a spinning top. Always thinking, planning and looking for opportunities wherever it may be. Not thinking in single dimension but multi dimension. A glass half filled is viewed as a glass half full. Those with ambition will never stop praying as though he will die the next day and work as though he will live a thousand more years. Life full of activities. Living for a reason, with rationale and justification. We need to think big and dream high at all time in order for us to be able to achieve what we want in life.
