What would you think of a person who has no ambition?

Answer 1

Brain-dead and soul-dead. An Amoeba with feet.

Answer 2

We'll I married him and we had two kids, and have been separated since 2005.

It is sad to see someone with no ambition. You see the potential, but after you have known them for so long, you realize that they are the only ones that can change themselves, an din most case are not willing to do so. This does not make them Bad people, just people who somewhere along the way got misdirected and now are just "being". Some people tend to think they can "fix" these people. but you can't like I said before.. If someone wants to get better they have to be willing to do the work. And if they see no problem or are not wanting to put for the effort, then all you can do is be there friend and pray. Hope that was not too insightful.Just a subject that hits close to home for me. :-)

Answer 3

I normally would think that people should be allowed to have their own holy and glowing right of no ambitions, to just have the tame ambition of no ambition, to try to live a peaceful meeky life of their own without any further ambitions.

Also, I might try to ask that person who shows to have no ambition about the scope of having no ambitions, if there is any special meaning in having the ambition of sort of no ambition.

Often people are the hostage of their own parents and or of their own world craving them to have ambitions and thus struggle to win prizes, to win a good job, to win a spouse, and to live a heroic soldier-life and to win or die bravely at war.

Life seems definitely to be pre-configurated in such a way that people should be fiercy, hard astutely fighting, in order to win a place in this world.

That is true! No one ever rings me up asking me to come and work with them or be their own chairman if I have no strategic merits, no potentialities of any sort.

Conditions are even much worse in the animal and plant world where you haven't got the slightest chance of survival if you are not the whole time astute and fiercy.

Answer 4

I think there are many people that have no ambition.

Some are just lazy. Others, did at one time have ambition, but lost it because they saw working hard did nothing for them.

I think many teenagers are like this today. You Know the emo kids? They have no ambition, they just complain about anything. I think that's the reason why we have so many problems today. People just don't have any ambition anymore.

Answer 5

No Ambition

Answer 6

That that person may fear making mistakes and have not felt accomplishments... which leads to lack of ambition and motivation... after all... why bother....
Sometimes, a person sets too high expectations on themselves or even parents or others place unrealistic demands on them leading to a lack of ambition since they can not meet that goal. I mean ... why bother!
If there were no goals to accomplishment... ambition level is also low.
It becomes too hard to even think of doing things, there is only failure to feel. This negative self-thinking becomes a pessimistic way of life...and of course negative feelings bring negative outcomes...

That is where personal development and positive thinking training can turn things around. .. by promoting positive surroundings and providing positive feedback...helps them to feel good about something they have accomplished. (Get yourself a some self help books...eg, Brian Tracy is a motivator and has a website..check it out. http://www.briantracy.com/)

It is never too late to set realistic goals which will lead to accomplishment and later to ambition to meet new challenges.

Have a great positive day.
:)

Answer 7

I would think they were depressed or physically ill; if neither of those things were true, then I would ask myself if they had an ambition and were not seeking it, or maybe their ambitions are just different to the world's.

Answer 8

This, on a higher level of human existence shall be "Philosophical resignation". But if it is not, then that person needs to be medically treated. An anecdot. some students approached Swami Vivekananda and with the request that they all wish to learn "Raja Yoga". The Swami chased them out, and asked them to go and play foot ball. The point is, the thing what ought to happen at defiinite level of maturity and mental evolution can not be anticipated at lesser levels. When you find a person with no ambitioon, take all thes into account and find an anser for yourself.

Answer 9

They lost there dreams. When you give up your dreams you die inside. Either that or they need prozac. The amount of people that are out there that are bi-polar and don't even know it is staggering. It's becoming almost epidemic. And may have more to do with our poor diets and lifestyles.
Are they a loner or anti-social? life is too short to not life each day with purpose. So get them help, get them motivated and live, live, live!

Answer 10

Actually, my ex had no ambition or drive to accomplish anything...he was perfectly fine to sit on his *** and watch TV, and do nothing. It is difficult to be excited and have dreams together if one of you doesn't care what they are doing in a few years, so I really lost interest in him over time and eventually left.

Answer 11

depression, or just pure laziness, maybe they don't need to have ambition, they live stress free and can relax with no worries, maybe they have other ambitions, you just don't know what it is, they could be ambitious in just living.
