Every human being must have the ambition to change himself to be better than the conditions he is currently living in. An attitude of ambition becomes an inner drive that spurs you to do something with good results and the goals you want to achieve.

According to psychologist Tika Bisono MPsi Psi, every human being must have an attitude of ambition. Ambition is a good thing, everyone should have it. Because ambition is a dream or what a person wants to aim for or the spirit to survive in his life. If people don’t have ambition, it means they don’t fill their lives.

Basically, having ambition is good as long as it can be controlled well, but if not, it will give rise to an ambitious attitude.
People have positive ambitions so they can achieve well and produce the best work, while negative ambitions are ambitions that are not commensurate with the potential they have, so they will force anything.

Excessive ambition will make them have a passionate interest and desire for a particular field. That way they can justify any means to achieve their desires.

Characteristics of those who are ambitious include, for example, they are no longer capable financially or in other abilities, but still impose their will. That is, by using any means possible, knocking down the opponent or already knowing that he has lost, instead looking for his opponent’s mistakes. In fact, chivalry (accepting defeat, being humble when winning) is needed to reduce someone’s negative ambition.

So, so that the ambitions they have do not turn into ambitions, everyone must have a clear program framework and measurements
Of course everyone must have a program framework and measurements that refer to their progress, if they compete it means they are right. But in order not to exceed competence, it must be measurable.

Having a dream, of course, is very good. However, pushing ourselves too hard and continuing to add to the list of dreams we want to realize without having time to be grateful for everything we have achieved, will only make us live in a world full of expectations. Life never feels real because all the dreams we make keep growing as if there is no end.

Every human being must have an attitude of ambition and he must make his own efforts to change himself to be better than his previous condition. An attitude of ambition becomes an inner drive that spurs you to do something with good results and the goals you want to achieve. Ambition is an ideal that drives humans to survive in their lives. If people don’t have ambition, it means they don’t fill their lives well.

Nobody is perfect. So, in living life, of course we still have to try to do our best for the best results. However, if what we do cannot produce something as desired, don’t force yourself. Someone who is ambitious often develops excessive expectations and ambitions that are difficult to control. As a result, when there is a target or work that does not go optimally, you will be very disappointed because you feel that your efforts have been in vain.
