Ambition supplies the driving force. It lends meaning to life. A man without an ambition is just like a ship without a rudder, at the mercy of waves, tossing it here and there. A fixed aim or goal in life is very important. Aimless life remains the slave of opportunities. Ambition adds zeal to live. It gives the right direction and makes a man work single-mindedly to attain that goal and to fulfill that ambition. Ambition makes man resourceful and hard-working, sincere and serious. It inculcates a purpose in life. Man strives hard to achieve what he has thought of to be.

My Ambition in Life
Everybody has an ambition in life. Like others, I too have great ambition to reach lofty heights in life.
It is not always easy to make a judicious choice of a profession. It depends upon various factors, namely, personal likes and dislikes long-term planning, academic qualifications, and material resources. It is seen that one often takes to a profession which comes one’s Way without paying any regard to the above factors. Such a person can never attain success in life. It is, therefore, essential to plan and decide carefully before selecting a profession.
As for me, I have given this matter due consideration. I have also examined the relative merits of different professions. I have neither the debating faculty so essential for law nor the strong heart that can stand the dissection of living creatures. Thus, I can neither be a lawyer nor a doctor, engineering has no doubt a bright future in the modem of India but I cannot understand the intricacies of science. Trade and commerce, on the other hand, require a lot of capital. If one fails, one may not have anything to fall back upon. Teaching is, of course, the only profession that finds favour with my taste and temperament.
There are many reasons why I like this profession. A teacher has a sacred duty to perform. It is he on whom rests the responsibility for moulding the characters of young children. Apart from developing intellect, he can inculcate in them qualities of a good citizen– remaining neat and tidy, talking decently, and sitting properly. These virtues are not easy to be imbibed. Only he who himself leads a life of simplicity, purity, and rigid discipline can successfully cultivate these habits in his pupils.
Besides, a teacher always remains young. He may grow old in age but not in spirits. Perpetual contact with budding youth keeps him happy and cheerful. There are moments when domestic worries weigh on his mind but the delightful company of innocent children makes him overcome his transient mood of despair.
Then ‘there is the lively world of books written by masterminds in which he dwells. I am very fond of reading books. This profession will thus help me in satisfying my craving for studies. Whether I shall succeed in achieving my goal, not I cannot say. I know that some of my friends have more laudable ambitions but mine is by no means a low one. It is the highest profession in the world, as the teacher imparts education to the entire world.

There are others who have a craze for becoming poets, writers and novelists while most of us generally have a desire of becoming engineers, doctors and scientists of great repute. There are very few persons who are happy-go-lucky by nature and have no clear-cut aims in their lives.
I do not have very high aims in my life. I do not wish to become a mill-owner or a multi-millionaire. The some object of my life is to lead a life of simplicity and goodness devoted to the service of humanity. The life of a professional leader or a politician would not suit me as most of such persons have become parasites on the society.
I was born of middle-class parents. From the very beginning, have been passing through the struggles of life. I have seen cut-throat competition in most of the professions. Its consequences have been far-reaching; people are demoralised. Examples can be quoted in which, we can find the engineers accepting big bribes, lawyers rescuing guilty persons or murderers and doctors demanding money from the patients at crucial stages of surgical operation.
Then what do I want to be? Indeed, from the core of my heart, I wish to become a teacher. The motto of this life, ‘simple living and high thinking, inspires me to take up this profession. The noble ideas of the teachers in the ancient times are before me. I am fully aware of the difficult and hard life of a teacher. He leads a life of drudgery, busy in correcting exercise books or answer books of the students. There are no stirring event in his life.
Inspite of these hardships, I would like to become a teacher. I have reasons and considerations for adopting this profession. Since my early childhood, I have the days of developed affection for the young children. In my view, they are delicate and beautiful like the petals of a flower. I feel that as a teacher, I can help the students in widening their outlook by giving them knowledge. I shall help the country by producing better citizens. Moreover, the company of the young children would also help me in remaining young and fresh in thoughts and outlook. Besides rendering all these important services, I shall also have the means of subsistence. I have a great faith in the life of a noble and an ideal teacher because teachers are the custodians of the highest values, according to our former President, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan.
