Question

an example is you have a dream to become a doctor, and you enrolled at a reputable school like harvard to become a doctor. During your stay at harvard, why do you need to hold on to that ambition?

Answer 1

its called progress...we are built to strive towards growth. stagnation results in apathy and a loss of zest. living entails progressing, learning, growing, advancing....if your ambition is to be a doctor it gives you a specialised focus. once you have a focus the speed of growth heightens intensely and the human soul is nourished.

Answer 2

My mother told me that our main priority in life to possess Allah's bless. Ambition drives you towards the right path. Me myself I want to be a neurologist and because of that i always remind myself about my ambition every time I think about giving up my life and future. For me, I always say to myself that many people in my life have sacrificed so I can be what i dream to be. For me, ambition is something that can help you back to the ground when you fall down..

Answer 3

It is part of life - a developmental stage in terms of a person becoming a complete human being is a stage referred to as self-actualization, where you determine who you are and work towards becoming your ideal. Without ambition we are nothing, and we degenerate. Having dreams makes us human.

Answer 4

You don't. You just need to do. No dreaming or ambition. Just doing what you are supposed to do.

Answer 5
