"The one who is willing, the lord of the heart." One cannot be without ambition.
People should aspire.
Wang Shouren, a Ming Dynasty man, said: "If you do not stand up, like a boat without a rudder, a horse without a title, drifting and running, what is the end of the matter?" If you don't stand up, there is nothing that can be done in the world, although there are hundreds of skills, there are no people who are not based on ambition. Wang Shouren's words expressed the extreme importance of ambition. No matter what people do, they must have ambition. If there is no ambition, it will be "like a rudderless boat, a horse without a title, drifting and running", and the consequences are unimaginable. People's ambitions should be both ambitious and fascinating, and in line with their own reality and feasible. Such an ambition can be achieved through their down-to-earth and unremitting efforts. And the so-called ambitions that are lofty and far-reaching and divorced from reality are nothing more than fantasies and can never be realized.
People should practice their ambitions.
There is a Burmese proverb that says it best: "Think, be ambitious; do it, be down-to-earth." That's how we should: our ambition to "soar above the sky" is realized with "down-to-earth" action. In the process of achieving the goals that we hope to achieve, we will encounter various difficulties and obstacles. The attitude toward these difficulties and obstacles should be: not afraid, brave to conquer. Ge Hong, a Jin Dynasty, said: "Mountaineering does not stop at difficulties, but it will be perfected in the mountains." In the process of practicing ambition, we must have the spirit of "climbing without difficulties and dangers", and persevere towards the established goal.
"It is difficult to have ambition; it is easy to have an ambition, and it is not easy to have no ambition." One must have ambition.
