I've known ambitious people with no aptitude for the thing they did. Most of whom, rather terrifyingly, tended to succeed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People have always thought that I wasn't ambitious. They judged by appearances and were fooled. I was competitive. I wanted success and was willing to work for it.
To be honest, I was never very ambitious. And I still am not.
I look around at people who had success so early and then didn't know what to do with themselves.
Those who are believed to be most abject and humble are usually most ambitious and envious.
Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions.
I think it's better to be overly ambitious and fail than to be underambitious and succeed in a mundane way. I have been very fortunate. I failed upward in my life!
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.
Successful people will always tell you you can do something. It's the people who have never accomplished anything who will always discourage you from trying to achieve excellent things.
Anybody can be ambitious.
I've always been a really ambitious person.
