"A man's worth is no greater than
the worth of his ambitions." - Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, former Roman
Emperor
Students must learn how to set their
mindsets to be ambitious to achieve success in their lives. It is always good
to be ambitious to stand out from others and great to accomplish goals to soar
like an eagle. In fact, to aim low is a crime. Here goes the story of two
masons:
A
Tale of Two Masons
Two masons were working for
construction of a flyover in a city. A
person approached them and asked what they were doing. One mason replied that
he was constructing a wall while another person replied that he was busy
constructing a great flyover in the city.
Although both seemed to be busy with their work one mason had an average
mindset of constructing a wall in his mind while the another mason had great
mindset of constructing a flyover in his mind, and he displayed a lot of pride
for being a part of the prestigious project by radiating passion towards his
work. From this story, it is obvious that although people do the same work some
think small while some think big. And
those who think big develop ambitious mindset and achieve greatness in their
lives. Here are some tips to cultivate
an ambitious mindset.
Set
an Ambitious Mindset
To set an ambitious mindset, you must
think big and be passionate in your area of interest. You must create an environment where you can
grow rapidly in your life. Mark Twain rightly said, "Keep away from people
who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really
great make you feel that you, too, can become great." Hence, stay away
from negative people who invalidate you and poison your mind with negative
inputs. You must create a network of
good people to maintain it. You must acquire knowledge accordingly. You must come out of your comfort zone and reset
your goals after accomplishing your goals. You must work hard and raise your
bar constantly. You must learn, unlearn
and relearn to stay relevant. You must
constantly fuel your goals. Above all, set your inner dialogue with high goals
and fuel them constantly with needed inputs. Then your actions and behavior
will change accordingly, and over a period of time you find yourself possessing
ambitious mindset. Hence, students must always think big, set goals accordingly
and work with passion and perseverance to become great in their lives.
“Ambition has one heel nailed in well,
though she stretch her fingers to touch the heavens.” - Lao Tzu
Life is great!
