I'd consider myself to be one of the most ambitious people among my friends and classmates. Coming out of highschool, I wasn't where I thought I would have been grade wise to actually have a compete with others in obtaining a doctorate in the social sciences due to my PCS (post-concussive syndrome) necessitating significant rehabilitation because of memory impairment and other issues. Prior to that, I was one of the top students in my class but everything seemed to go to hell. After years of hardwork and battling through it, I'm now 18 months away from getting my doctorate. On top of that, I'm the youngest student in our doctorate class. I made sure to do as much as I could while still enjoying life in order to get here. And it's so close now.

Adolf? If only Adolf was more materialistic and less crazy.
Worse thing that guy will do is evade some taxes and hate the peasants lulz.
Myself? I'm feeling like awefully romantic and nomadic recently... I don't crave power or fame but a normal life just doesn't fit well on me. These shitty song lyrics I used to listen to when I was a teen come to mind.
Sweet dreams are made of these Who am I to disagree? Travel the world and the seven seas
Going to Tibet this June...

Yep Half, you put your fingers exactly on that, I'll do everything I can to reestablish the royalty. And i don't hate peasants they are a good source of income and manpower for the army. But don't think I'm crazy I know those kind of things take a while.

My ambition is to absorb knowledge and share knowledge with people who don't already have it, regardless of how long I live. Pretty good ambition IMO

I would like to be ruler of the world. No joke.
I need a financial start, so that's why I'm in stocks and the foriegn exchange market. Once I get rich enough, I can go to Africa or S. America and start up my own nation. Make it the best fucking nation on the planet and start wars with my neighbors. Take their land, make the people's lives better, and keep up the process. Once people realize I'm an awesome dictator, I'll shoot for Mars.

This, this this this.
I want to be a sponge of knowledge. I want to subject myself to a field, learn it, master it, and contribute to it. My ambition is knowledge. Both money and material have never been too much of my concern - i've never had much of either. Wouldn't mind it for some stability later in life, but, that isn't the point. I want to influence people - I want a new way to think. A new way to look at things, and to inspire people from showing them. To change things in life, be it for one person, or many. To change how things work, to influence, and help create, the new tomorrow. And, I try. Not hard enough, especially for my aims, but I do. And it doesn't work out. Stuff that is probably simpler to other people. I'm not dumb, but sometimes, I feel like I lack some kind of intellect that's required to even start on my ambitions. My comprehension is terrible. Things go over my head quite easily. When I do actually have the time to sit down, and really try to drive myself, it's a no go.
I have some close friends of mine, incomparable to my ambitions. One, throughout a course of a class we had with each other, would barely go over the course material, and perform at my level, or even above on tests/work. I could perform at that too, but, it takes me literally hours of sitting back, and forcing it. Trying to learn and understand at my own pace. It's discouraging. I have another friend, too. Unlike the last I mentioned, he actually tries in his courses. And is quite successful. He can read an excerpt, or hell, a book, and just nearly recite things from it. Remember key terms, key concepts, and say them fluidly. Only after just reading it, after any period of time, it seems like. For me, I learn a concept, study at these terms, etc, and can get them pretty well. But over time, they slip from me, as if I had never learned them.
Don't let me take from their personalities or intellect by saying their drive is sub-par - but, it's completely discouraging, and, partially upsetting, to think and feel that, perhaps, I just don't have "it." It being the thing needed to meet my ambitions. And here I am, wasting time, posting anecdote on a random forum, and probably to piss away more time with video games and reddit later.

The older I've become the more ambitious I get. I feel that my life is off to a slow start and I need to be working especially hard now that I've started at a disadvantage.
It isn't about money (though I certainly would like to be wealthy) or power (though having some influence wouldn't hurt), but having accomplished something I can really be proud of

When I was younger I was probably the least ambitious person out of everyone I knew. Now as I age towards oldness, I'm like, "I have shit to accomplish! Out of my way!"

I'd like to be a neurosurgeon or some kind of oncologist, but IDK if I have the dedication for it. My grades freshman year aren't that great (relatively speaking, probably around a 3.7), though I have friends who assure me that freshman year is usually the hardest on your GPA.
I blogged about it awhile ago, but my childhood ambition was to be a garbage man. Those big trucks were so cool.

This made me laugh, as a corporate lawyer. For someone so ambitious and into money you dont really know much about corporate lawyering do you?
But yah, please please go to law school and please please please go work at the Seven Sisters of Vault 10 down South. You truly deserve that life.

I am not ambitious at all. My motto is "normal is the best".

Its not about money or power but about leaving something behind you are proud of. And yah, being lazy when young and just doing the 'get good grades, go to good law school thing' feels like an incredibly waste of time. Thank god my student loans are paid off, otherwise I'd join the other half of my profession and embrace raging alcoholism.

Voted other. My goal is to live a good life.

Pretty good ambition IMO Whenever I say things like this, people disregard learning and just say money and inane pleasure are the only important things in life. Is intellectual ambition ever going to catch on to the mainstream?
