Ambition is important. Of course you can't get anywhere without talent, but there are a lot of talented people. To succeed, you have to be the most ambitious talented person.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One needs more than ambition and talent to make a success of anything, really. There must be love and a vocation.
Irrespective of whether you have talent or not, one has to work hard. Just being talented doesn't mean anything; you can end up wasting it before you realize.
Talent is crucial. It needs to be driven by motivation, but blind ambition isn't the key.
Talent without working hard is nothing.
There's no such thing as talent; you just have to work hard enough.
The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. Talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows.
Everyone has a talent. It's simply a question of good discipline, of the good fortune to have an education that meshes with that talent, and a lot of luck.
If you want to achieve things in life, you've just got to do them, and if you're talented and smart, you'll succeed.
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.
Talent is always more interesting - ambition is not interesting. If you have talent, you have to find ways of expressing it, but you may not be a success in the world's terms.
