How ambitious are you?

[drjohnhwatson]

I'm 27, and I'm a 1 on the ambitious scale.  I'd be a 0 if it was an option.  Everyone takes me to task for it, but I just have to shrug.  I did great in school, but if I had been ambitious...the sky's the limit.  Too bad, however.  C'est la vie.

I guess I’m ambitious cause I have a high goal I’m working toward.

I guess I could be considered pretty ambitious, I have very high standards for myself, and am working towards a long-term goal.

My ambitions as a 12 year old were to be a grown up who went to bed whenever he wanted and had pizza for breakfast. Now I'm living the dream!

I'm 15 years old, and almost obnoxiously ambitious; I need every project that I'm passionate about to be perfect in my eyes for as long as possible.

 

I overwork myself in areas I'm passionate about.

When I have to present something that I find to be mediocre, I struggle to do so.

People tell me that nothing I do will ever be perfect, in an attempt to comfort me, but this gives me more rage than It does comfort.

 

I know that nothing and no-one is perfect, but It's all a matter of effort.

I'm either exerting all my effort or not at all; I don't know a healthy middle ground.

 

Perfection is a motivation that I know that it isn't an attainable goal; but instead an ever advancing game of horse shoes that a winner will be satisfied with until they have been surpassed in skill.

 

It still works as a form of motivation for me though.

24 (for a few more weeks) and it depends on where my head is at the time. I can go from "everything I planned has not happened, so just let whatever will be be" to "I will be the Prime Minister one day">
