The Thin Line between Ambition and Desperation.

There's a thin line between Ambition and Desperation.

Just the other day, I was discussing with my friend, about wealth and how amazing it would be to amass it while young and vibrant. The stories he told me of other young people, had me thinking "there's a thin line between Ambition and Desperation. Everyday I am shocked at the length people could go, the things people could do, for wealth, for fame, for success. The journey to success is mostly in two different ways, some are out of ambition, while others are out of desperation.

Some people go through life with a "Do or Die" mindset. Desperation is that state of anxiety where someone wants to succeed at all costs. Desperation doesn't care who is trampled under, in order to get to the top. Desperation doesn't care about a good name. Desperation doesn't mind getting his hands dirty. Truth be told, these people never end well.

Ambition on the other hand, isn't a rat race, though the desire and drive to be successful is there, Ambition is patient, hopeful, calculated. obviously not something many people hold on to nowadays. Ambition would not capsize someone's boat in order to stay afloat. Ambition cares about his good name and reputation. Ambition succeeds, no matter how long it takes, because it perseveres.

Whilst being ambitious, be careful not to become desperate.
