Around us there are many people who are ambitious and always work hard to achieve what they want, but there are also many who seem to have nothing to squeeze out of life. My observation is that people with ambition are more likely to succeed in life than those without.
To be sure, ambition is like the force driving people to move on toward their goals. With certain ambition in mind, people will set about making plans, taking actions and then will persist when they encounter difficulties. My friend John is a perfect example. Ten years ago, when I first got to know him, he told me he dreamed of becoming the best photographer in this country. Then he began to travel to all places in China, no matter how dangerous and remote they are and just last month he published his first photography book which contains a lot of fantastic pictures he took. On the other hand, if one does not have ambition, s/he may simply loaf around without knowing what lies ahead. Indeed, this kind of life is perhaps not that bad, for it is carefree and less worrying, but it contributes little to one’s success in life, if success is defined as earning more money, staying at the top of the social ladder or making more contribution to the world.
Seen in this light, ambition is undoubtedly something positive and healthy. But like anything else, ambition may become negative and harmful if it is not treated properly. I know many ambitious people who end up in prison because they tried to realize their ambition through illegal means, and I also know a few people who made suicidal attempts after they failed to achieve their ambition. So honestly, ambition is like both an angel and a devil. Whether ambition becomes an angel or a devil depends on how people take it.

In the current era, many individuals show their ambition to success, such as gaining power or earning a lot of money. In my opinion, ambition can contribute to success to some degree, but it often turns to be a negative characteristic.
第二段就写ambition对成功多重要
Ambition can assist individuals to fulfill their targets as one of the most significant motivation factors. Everyone used to have or has their life targets, but only a few of them are potent to really achieve their dreams. It is because there exist a lot of obstacles that hinder people from concentrating on their careers, such as lacking money or lacking time. Strong ambition for career progression could serve to spiritually support people to overcome difficulties they encounter. Nevertheless, admitting the significance of ambition is not assuming that it is positive to individuals in all conditions.
第三段开始吐槽加班狂的人生的缺陷。。。
To begin with, being ambitious in success may lead to imbalance between work and personal life. It is true that ambition can motivate individuals to work nonstop, but work is not the only content of life. When workaholics spend all of their time on work, other aspects, such as exercise or family members, will be inevitably neglected. Even if they achieve their dreams, they may get some diseases like obesity or hypertension or feel lonely since they have no time for family activities. Thus, ambition may make people occupied by work all the time.
第四段就写容易好高骛远的毛病~
In addition, people who are ambitious to be successful often do not care details. A lot of people, especially youngsters, intend to become leaders of organisations or enterprises. However, such positions require candidates to not only have strong ambition but also have abundant working experience. Many leaders of famous enterprises used to be salesmen who had to promote their products but not every ambitious person is willing to carry out some basic tasks at the beginning. Thus, ambitious people may lose interests in performing some seemingly trivial tasks, which in turn deprives them of the opportunity of success.
最后一段总结一下之前的理由就好~
To sum up, it is true that people cannot lack ambition as a motivation factor if they intend to be successful, but more often than not, ambition impacts negatively since ambitious people may ignore other aspects of life and dislike doing basic tasks.

Those who are fueled by ambition tend to set higher goals and make the sacrifices necessary to have the lives they have dreamed of almost always come out on top. With enthusiasm to their study or work, they are more self-motivated and self-disciplined than those who have less desire for success. When coming across difflculties, ambitious people are more likely to overcome the barriers with more courage and stronger determination, as they find no reason to quit or not to believe in themselves. Ambition separates the man putting up with unfulfilled from the man others finally look up to.
Society sometimes looks at heavy ambition as an undesirable thing because it might lead to greed or an addiction to power, but this is not the case at all.

In this contemporary era which features high pressure and fierce competitions, ambition is a powerful driving force on modern people’s way to success. As the proverb goes that most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions.
It is believed that ambition is putting a ladder against sky. If Newton had no ambition to figure out why apples fall down on the earth rather than flying to the sky, gravity can never be discovered; If Salvador Dali had no ambition to draw what is in his mind or dreams no matter how distorted it is, surrealism can never be thought highly of; If the allied nations in World War Two had no ambition to defeat the Nazism led by Hitler, massive slaughter would be recorded in human history. It is ambition that enables individuals to equip with self-motivation and self-discipline that are deemed as indispensable factors for overcoming barriers as well as resisting temptation when devoting to work or studies. Unfortunately, people who lose ambitions are hardly to pursue their goals or make themselves come out on the top even if their inspiration spring up every second.
Although a heavy ambition is often thought to be connected with the greed or an addiction to power, it is not the case. Ambitious people have courage and persistence to challenge tasks which cannot be completed by ordinary people; have aspiration to break down the routine as well as to fight for what they believe in. In a large scale, the civilization of mankind would not thrive supposing that humans refuse to admit or achieve their ambitions.
In a word, ambition is one of the most crucial characteristics for human beings. It gives us goals and pushes us to lead a life filled with satisfaction and glory. However, it is worth mention that the realization of personal ambition can never at the expense of violating others’ interest.
