Becsvágy (Hun: Ambition)

“Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great.” (Mark Twain)

 

Ambition is a funny thing. It’s like an indefinable voice inside your soul that wakes up and stirs you at the most unexpected moments. It’s the need to keep walking, moving, running, jumping when all that is required of you is to keep still. Ambition is hunger – it’s the feeling of never being fully satisfied. It’s the knowledge that perfection can and will not be achieved, but the willingness and need to go on anyway.
