● Paraphrase your question along with an emphasis on your opinion  
 
 
62. Some people think that it is good to be ambitious. How important is it to be 
ambitious? Do you think it’s a good characteristic? 
 
  
Ambition is nothing but a strong desire for achieving a goal through hard work and 
determination. The great achievers of history have all had it. Individuals with this trait are people 
who consistently drive towards their dreams and goals. So, there is not a shadow of a doubt that 
ambition is a positive trait which is essential to be successful.  
  
To begin with, I oppose the thought that ambition is a negative characteristic. Ambition does not 
constitute a character flaw which causes dishonesty or an unquenchable thirst for outcomes 
beyond the reach of their goal. Instead, ambition is an aspiration for attaining something good 
where nothing even existed before.  
  
Again, I firmly believe that ambition is the key to success whereas success can be defined as 
embracing a goal. However, the road to success is always filled with ups and downs, pain, 
uncertainty, and tremendous hard work. In this context, one needs great effort in order to be 
successful in attaining his goal and therefore he needs to be persistent and highly motivated in 
the goal. It goes without saying that it is absurd to have such motivation and determination 
without being ambitious. That is to say, that ambition creates zeal within the human that fuels 
motivation and instigates the aspiration to succeed. In addition, ambition leads to dedication 
which fosters perseverance. More or less, each of us has some goals, but only who has the ability 
to stick with his goal can taste the success. Thus, ambition plays a crucial role in achieving goals.  
  
In conclusion, success is a phenomenon that all of us wish to attain. Success and ambition go 
hand in hand. This suggests that ambition can never be a negative trait. In achieving the goal, 
ambition and success are not divergent but interconnected in such a way that one can be explored 
through another.
