Do you think how important it is for people to want success in life ? Is ambition a positive or negative characteristic?
We are living in a competitive world where success is desired by the majority of people. From my own perspective, it is undoubtedly necessary and important for people to have this kind of desire. Ambition, however, although brings potential hazards, is the driving force in fulfilling the desire.
On the one hand, the potential hazard of ambition is undoubted. Admittedly, some people, driven by great ambition, try to succeed by hook or by crook, which is a disgrace for human beings. For example, students cheat in the exams only out of the ambition to get a higher score or to be praised by teachers. However, these people are usually the minority.
Obviously, a stronger argument can be made for ambitions. The longing for success is the basis and driving force to achieve success. I believe that people who have made and who is going to make contributions to human society all have a strong desire for success -- strong enough to support them to overcome difficulties and barriers on the way to success. Therefore, it is pivotal for people to have a strong desire to succeed, or to conquer, namely ambition. Meanwhile, for the majority, ambitions are inner motivations to work harder and learn more skills to enhance their own capabilities or competitiveness. In fact, it is the whole society in the end will benefit from it, for that all ambitious people are sparing no effort to make greater contributions in their own fields.
By way of conclusion, while ambition might bring disadvantages to humans, it is the ultimate motivation for people pursuing success and for the progress of human beings as a whole. Anyway, we can not image a world without competition and ambition.
