I am not. Nate Send a noteboard - 21/11/2011 05:03:04 PM
I can see the point of ambition, of course, people striving to better their lives and be all that they can be, et cetera. However, I'm just not an ambitious person. On the whole, what I want from life is not the best paying job or acknowledgement of distinction or anything like that. What I want is to be comfortable and happy. As long as I can have that, I don't need distinction or promotion or ambition.

I want to do well at the things I do, but in general I don't push myself to be exceptional.

That's like asking someone if they're altruistic, it depends very heavily on the definition *NM* Isaac - 21/11/2011 06:58:22 PM 163 Views
Those who answer can feel free to define it any way they wish kHz1000 - 21/11/2011 08:46:36 PM 356 Views
And they clearly are, but I don't have a personal prefered definition, which is why I ask Isaac - 21/11/2011 11:36:35 PM 505 Views
