Is ambition really that great?

There are lots of ways to become successful such as working hard, being
responsible or having an ambition. Ambition is one of many ways to succeed. Ambition in the dictionary is define as ‘A strong desire to do or achieve something’. Ambition could bring you wealth and social status, money and popularity. But, ambition isn’t always so good, if used the wrong way. It can also be good if you use just the right amount. Ambition has created a lot of successful people in the world.
Ambition is something that we all have. As I have said before it is a desire to achieve something. Having ambition is a great thing, but sometime we need to learn to control it. Having it can help us realize our future job or what line of study we are going to take. Ambition is great to have because it lets us know who we are and where we are in our life. It can prepare us for the future that is suitable for us. Some people have actually succeeded from having their ambition such as Paradorn who played tennis with his ambition to be one of the greatest players and made it or the young female tae-kwan-do who won the bronze medal at Athens 2004, she was very ambitious and trained everyday.
Another way that ambition can help you is giving you fame and fortune. When you have ambition you tend to have the drive to study hard and use every resource you could find to help you succeed. After you have succeeded in the field that you set your mind to money and popularity just flows in from everywhere. People will want to talk to you and you will feel like a million bucks. Bill Gates who set his mind to sell software and became one of the richest men in the world.
But, ambition can also bring you down to your knees. Ambition can result in both good and bad is up to the user. For example the southern part incident in Thailand was caused from the wrong type of ambition. The terrorist who caused terror in the south had a strong ambition to separate the south from Thailand thus effect the present.
We can not blame ambition for all the mistakes that we make, it is up to us to decide what is enough and when to stop. In the end ambition is just something that can only help you realize your goal, but it is not always a good thing. But, when it finally comes down to it, it is you who choose your own actions.

and how about you guys. You want to success or not?
