Paradox of Ambition

  Growing up I was frequently asked one question, “Who do you want to become when you are older?”  “it's ok you are still young… you will figure it out…but you must find it.. You must find your Ambition ”.   So what is Ambition? As per the dictionary: Ambition /amˈbɪʃ(ə)n/ noun a strong desire to do or achieve something."her ambition was to become a pilot” desire and determination to achieve success Achieve something? Achieve success? In what? Ahh…. to become a successful person in the future.  So the obsession started when i was 14, i was enamoured by my uncles life as an Army General and I knew i was going to become an Army officer when i grow up. But that lasted for 2 years as I realised that I will have to run 10 km everyday to just pass the training and my attraction soon faded away.  But I was desperate and in panci, I started to look for another ambition. Another person that I could emulate in the future.  Afterall, only losers have no aim....
