Simple Sayings - Ambition

​Ambition: No one is a failure in this world who lightens a burden for someone else.
            Ambition is certainly a good thing to have as long as one doesn’t take it to excess. It’s a hard, cold thing when a person puts ambition to succeed above anyone or anything else.
            But where would we be without ambition? Our ambitions give us a goal and a reason to keep going. It doesn’t have to be complex. It might be as simple as getting out of bed some mornings! Perhaps it’s to graduate, to get a new job, to save money for something. Whatever the objective, ambition can help us learn something new, to challenge us to become better people in our personal lives and in our communities.  You can also have short term or long term ambitions. As I am just ending my spring break, my newest ambition is to head to the classroom this next week and finish off the quarter well. What ambition might you want to challenge yourself with this next week or month? Even if it's simply to do something for someone, that's special! Whatever you choose, be a bright light on your horizon – someone may need that from you! Your light might start someone's else's light.
