Is being Ambitious bad or good?
My point is to indentify your own personality first so that you can match it with the ambitions on relatively suitable degree. Rhythm and balance are always important.
An addition, I believe that being ambitious is what keeps one going. Imagine a ship leaving its harbour to reach nowhere! Ridiculous isn’t it? Life without an ambition isn’t much different from that ship: just flowing where the tide and winds of the world take you. How inert and boring would such life be! Having an ambition makes you a far-sighted person which, in fact, helps you overcome the current hurdles of life for you know this isn’t the end and you have to reach your goal.
Being ambitious itself looks to be good.
What isnt good about achieving or obtaining success. The bad can come when one considers what this does to the person, the people around them and the world we live in.
Chasing ambitions is, belive me, the best part of someone’s life. Sheer Pleasure! You get to know and a decent idea of where you are and you are heading in the game of life. Hearing people say “Flow with the tide of life” is enough for me to hate them: how can ‘allow’ a damn flow to take control over your life and expect good to come your way, them blame god when the inevitable mishaps happen?
So assume you meant, “Is it USUALLY good to be ambitious…” in which case I give a resounding yes. Ambition is an intrinsic motivator and starting/trying is essential to any task. But I would argue ambition needs to be coupled with perseverance. You may very You may very well fail, whether by lack of time, lack of talent, whatever. But continuing to work to achieve the goal of that ambition is the key to success.
Being ambitious is bad thing!
Ad has been mentioned, keep in mind that ambition should not replace higher priorities such as kindness and humility. If that happens. Now you become psychologically sick by a disease called jealousy. You will be start being a betrayal and forgetting about loves to get what you want. Therefore, that is when being ambitious become bad.
Moreover, let's talk about some fragile behaviors when ambition is bad!
Two reasons
- You will be blinded with it. You'll forget people who helped you and most importantly you'll forget what it means to be human anymore.
- There might be ways to achieve your goal but much faster but you might be so blinded that you wouldn't have the capacity to understand and recognise it.
