AMBITION

Ambition usually progresses through the following stages: to be like Dad...to be famous...to be a millionaire...to make enough to pay the bills...to hang on long enough to draw a pension. 

Bits & Pieces, September 1989.

Don't be afraid to take a big step.  You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.  

David Lloyd George

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.  Small people always do that, but the really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Mark Twain

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.

Langson Hughes
