face from time to time. We must prepare ourselves to refine and reform our plans to suit the
situations that we face, as we move ahead with time.
Working hard on ambitions should not put us under undue pressure. We should have a
balanced view of the future to avoid disappointments that may be caused by adverse situations.
However, if we have suitably flexible and versatile mentality, we can modify our ambitions
should such a need arise.
As ambitions help us acquaint ourselves with our abilities, they add to our personality
development. They will fine tune our talents and make them productive. However, ambitions
should be within bounds. They should be reasonable and realizable. There is no point in a blind
mans aspiration to become a pilot. If we are in anyway ineligible to pursue our ambition, it is
better that we abandon it or choose another that may be suitable, rather than compensate our
ineligibility with malpractice.
Ambition should always be individually inspired. They should not be influenced by the
opinion or compulsion by others. Pressure from others is an important reason for the failure of
most ambitions.
Ambition is good or bad according to the way in which it affects others. Our ambitions,
while fulfilling our desires, should not act against the interests of society. They should
complement the aspirations of society, in a manner that will fetch appreciation and acclaim.
Ladies and gentlemen, a man without any ambition is a boat without the sails. It can drift
in any direction and at the end of the day may find life a fruitless and frustrated nothingness. To
travel hopefully is better than to arrive. If one has arrived, the joy of the journey is over.
With that, I thank you.
