About beneficial ambition

For unknown reasons, of all that is characteristic of ambition, we usually note the worst. But ambition can be good. Good ambition is expressed in the fact that when it seems to everyone around you that you will not be able to achieve this goal, you feel that you are able to prove the opposite using your time and energy. And you achieve results that others could only dream of.

Does it happen to you: it seems to others that this is unattainable, but you feel that you can achieve this. Is there a person who is devoid of all ambition and is it good to be ambitious? "A few more steps

.

One more step

". A person whispering these words has been climbing a mountain peak for a long time.

He could stop - no one has yet reached here. We need to turn back: fatigue, exhaustion have been on the heels of a long time. If he returns, everyone will understand him, no one will blame him for anything, because the feat has already been completed. “Just one more step, ” he whispers to himself, gathering his last efforts, although he knows very well how many meters and steps to be taken. He continues to walk, no matter what. He cannot imagine that he can return.

Perseverance is characteristic, of course, not only for climbers. One can also cite the example of a scientist who writes line by line night after night, as if he was afraid that he would not have enough time to finish his work. Or maybe he’s really afraid? Not only power, but also what is called life, comes to an end. And you need to have time to finish the last page, put the last point in the book, which will be the main thing in his life, even if he sees it only in the manuscript.

He is convinced of the need and value of his brainchild. Those close to him have long been amazed at where his strength comes from. All withered, he manages to get up all the earlier, and goes to bed all later, as if the forces do not leave him, but are reborn again. But why - "like"? There is no mistake: an unfinished book gives him strength. For unknown reasons, of all that is characteristic of ambition, we usually note the worst.

Upon learning that someone is ambitious, we usually imagine a person unrestrained, aggressive, arrogant, arrogant and even vengeful. But let's take a look at the good side of ambition. What does it consist of? Wait, gather strength to achieve a difficult, distant goal. It seems to everyone that you cannot achieve this goal, but you feel that you are able to prove the opposite, you only need time and energy.

Such ambition is inherent in people of different nervous organizations, dissimilar temperaments, although the form of its manifestation is not the same: in some it is violent and demonstrative, in others it is hidden, quiet, outwardly revealing itself in nothing.
