Ambitions

Let me ask you a question,
What role do you play in your daily-life? How do you manage your time? How do you deal with nihilistic questions?

Being a physics person, let me give you an analogy to think about. We say that ‘ velocity is the derivative of displacement with respect to time.’  but we often, and really often forget what brought us here given that we know where we stand.

Ever wondered what is the derivative of meaning with respect to life ?

Why does this colour invoke passion? We hear a lot in chess that the Queen’s Gambit is the most ambitious opening done in tournaments, mainly because it opens up path-ways for the Queen to directly attack simultaneously making us prone to nasty chess traps.


Okay, enough Analogies for now.

Ambition is something which can derive meaning. What differs ambition from desire is of course the time, usually, we don’t say that “It’s my ambition to drink that coffee this evening” (Although that’s a good joke to be tried next time XD). Being ambitious for self-welbeing is OKAY and is good. But the only precaution or ironically an advice here would be to not to be stuck in the outcome of your journey. A lot of folks become skeptical and ask if we do not care about the outcome then we may lose it. What it really means is to realize that we are not defined by the result of our ambitions. We are defined for showing up, for just being ambitious. And this realization is what makes me passionate about my ambitions.

  1. Well according to me ambitions are something you need to wander as your life goes on and you cant decide them overnight and term your dreams as ambitions. Anyways the article was very good and I also commend the way in which the introduction part is written. Keep up the good work.
