I did not want to be depressed by the gap existing between my weakness and my ambition.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to think I had ambition... but now I'm not so sure. It may have been only discontent. They're easily confused.
Y'know, the real reason why I was such a failure in the sense of being unable to make any sort of a living was because I was really not motivated. I had no motivation.
I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere money-making has never been my goal, I had an ambition to build.
I wanted to acquire an education, work extremely hard and never deviate from my goal, to make it.
In essence, I set myself the objective of doing what I feel is right without having any ambition.
Ambition is a very dangerous thing because either you achieve it and your life ends prematurely, or you don't, in which case your life is a constant source of disappointment. You must never have ambition.
No one has ever accused me of being ambitious.
When you're a very ambitious person, the things that are disappointing are when other people around you aren't as enthusiastic.
Whatever success I may have attained is due to the fact that since I was old enough to work at all, my ambition has never deserted me.
If you have ambition, you might not achieve anything, but without ambition, you are almost certain not to achieve anything.
