A Conclusion
Primary ambition-
Earning, spending, loving, rejoicing, leaving everything far behind.
Secondry ambition-
Showing, helping, donating, worshipping everything that is blind.
Coclusion-
Both are boring, hurting, devastating, disturbing, and unkind.
Choose something in between,
In everything balance should be seen.

Good Ambition
Ive spent eleven months and five days loving you
And all these times Ive spent forgiving you
I dont want to be hurt
I dont want to be hurt
I dont want to be hurt
Not any more
Im a man with a good ambition
And I will never let you drag me down
You better go home and leave me alone
Im a man with a good ambition
And I will never let you drag me down
So baby go home
And leave me alone
Ive got a good, good, good ambition
Tell you its a good, good, good ambition
Ive got a good, good, good ambition
Tell you its a good, good, good ambition
Ive got a good, good, good ambition
Tell you its a good, good, good ambition

One Who Pursues Gets Done What They Do
I choose and elect,
To do the best I can do.
Not that I believe I am the best,
At doing it.
But I like to think I am.
What would be the point to make,
If I didn't?
And why do people enter competitions?
Because they lack ambition?
I think not.
One who pursues gets done what they do!
I happen to enjoy being dragged through the mud.
And for someone with that kind of ambition...
Is not one subdued.
I suggest that as a prerequisite!
To get over any sensitivites,
Associated with a public affixed with critics.

A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.

I mock when others do.
Earning was glamorous; I laboured.
Spending was glamorous; I idled away.
Losing was glamorous; I gambled.
Loving was glamorous; I pursued.
Leaving was glamorous; I pined.
Each one of them is mocked at
By those when they aren’t involved..

A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive. Having been alive, it won't be so hard in the end to lie down and rest.

I wasn't really interested in doing television. I don't have that much ambition. My agent, Eileen Feldman, has all the ambition for me.
I have been absolutely hag-ridden with ambition. If I could wish to have anything in the world it would be to be free of ambition.

I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere money-making has never been my goal, I had an ambition to build.

A wise man is cured of ambition by ambition itself; his aim is so exalted that riches, office, fortune and favour cannot satisfy him.

Want To Say This
Coming and going
You are coming in to my life slowly
Moving faster than I can move
And leaving me more faster even no time for saying a final goodbye
Loving and hating
First I fell in love
It was loving
We came closer it was love growing
I missed her It was avoiding
At last we detached
It is hurting
And now I hate hurting
It is hating
Keeping and giving up
Although she was leaving I was trying to keep
She was giving up still I was trying
Keeping her close to heart
But still she is leaving
Its for her to giving up
And for me trying to keep her to me
rajnish for you

In the future, when we get serious about executing things correctly, this thing will be very easy to do. If we find out that this technique does not work, I don't intend to step on dead bodies to achieve something because I don't have that kind of ambition. My ambition is to help people.

Great ambition, the desire of real superiority, of leading and directing, seems to be altogether peculiar to man, and speech is the great instrument of ambition.

Raging Ambition
We do have tons of ambition
Some are for real, some are just for imagination
Ambition has three divisions
Like fire composes of three divisions, the theme of ambition
Fire uses carbon as the base
To maintain the heat and the pressure, it’s a showcase
The latter must paired with our faith
To have a positive repartee and to face the goals in straight
Fuel is the booster of fire
To start and to initiates the flame like a wire
The late needs determination
To work-out the goals and to gain a right lore, not like an auction
Oxygen is a must in fire
To give breath and to mold forms to the flame, is a hire
Humility builds the latter
To accept the free-falls and to aim high in worst and in better
Ambition needs the three like fire
Without the other it’s like a car without a tire
It is the merely ingredients
To beacon ambitions and to succeed like chasing the radiant

Suffering is self imposed
Everyone has ambition;
Everyone has intelligence.
When one’s ambition does not
Suit one’s intelligence
Suffering occurs more in quantum.

It will not be amiss to distinguish the three kinds and, as it were, grades of ambition in mankind. The first is of those who desire to extend their own power in their native country, a vulgar and degenerate kind. The second is of those who labor to extend the power and dominion of their country among men. This certainly has more dignity, though not less covetousness. But if a man endeavor to establish and extend the power and dominion of the human race itself over the universe, his ambition (if ambition it can be called) is without doubt both a more wholesome and a more noble thing than the other two. Now the empire of man over things depends wholly on the arts and sciences.

I denounce it
Trapped in the wordly matters
Earning, spending
Wishing more and more
Earning by hook or by crook
To satisfy the snoberry of modernity
If it is life
I denounce it
For it keeps one away from God.
