Need or importance of ambition in life?
Having ambition means having a goal. Without goals, one just drifts with no purpose.
Why is being ambitious so important in today's world?
I feel like everybody keeps pushing me to want to achieve great success. My mother, father, sisters .. family in general. And of course society that values only achievements. In school, teachers only praise and are nice to students who join many afterschool activities, who do a lot of stuff in general. They don't care about others. My parents keep pushing me to study law but I don't want to. Everyone in our neighbourhood speaks highly only about professions like lawyer, bussinesman ... And they only respect people who are in that profession. I don't want that but if I chose what I want - a peaceful, "stressless" job, for example if I want to be a librarian - my family would be ashamed of it and I feel like I should be ashamed of it. I know I'm old enough to do what I want, but I really want my family to be proud of me. (excuse my "unproper" expressions or anything like that, English is my second language)
How can I achieve my dream when I failed to achieve my ambition?
Based from ur question, this is my opinion.Try not to mix both - dream and ambition. Bcs even you failed in something there might be another way to achieve ur dreams. Ambition need a strong passion. Do ask urself why you want that ambition. Keep asking urself until you find the way and have the 1st step towards.Be grateful - you already on this level because not everyone can measure themselves to kept them more better everyday.Im 21 y/o, i failed too. But I rearranged my lifegoals that consist dreams and ambition even its hard. I’ve learned to put aside unnecessary dreams and try to find a brilliant and comfort way to make something good for people around me even though im not clever, gifted, rich and so on.Here are some steps to achieve dreams even failed on something.Never give up, dont forget it after you failed. Try to find something that can cover your failure and when you’re ready to go back on track. Make sure you learn from the past, from other people stories and do more research.Believe in urself, that future holds ur dreams and ambition.Don’t care about people, don’t care bout money. Chase ur dreams and what you love. Just do what you want and what you will, because there’s nothing can beat our inner self.Any of these will not work if you not working hard. Important thing is, have faith in God. I believe He created us for a purpose, and I believe that when i put my faith and beliefs into action. I put myself in a position for God’s blessings.

How can a healthy competitive and ambitious spirit be nurtured in children?
I personally don't think it's necessary to teach children to be competitive so much as teach them to strive towards self-improvement and work hard for what they want. In any competitive setting you can't control what your competitor is going to do, you can only control your own actions and reactions. One of the best ways to teach children any behavior is by modeling it in your own life. Fix/build/create/practice something/some kind of skill you enjoy and let them see you both struggle and succeed in a healthy way. Ask for help when you need it. Show them that success isn't easy or immediate or something that you can always achieve by yourself, but it is worth the hard work you put into it. If you're focusing on being competitive that means you're focusing on being better than everyone else which is an impossible goal because there will always be someone better than you that's just a fact of life and to think differently is setting yourself up for disappointed. However, if you focus on healthy self-improvement and instilling in your kids the value of hard work and responsibility then they'll have the ability to always strive to be better without getting discouraged if they're not the best.
My husband says I have no ambition, what can I do?
My husband has a personal goal to refurbish muscle cars. I don't have an interest in doing it with him, but I am supportive. I on the other hand, have the ambition to be a chef. We can't afford to send me to school right now, but I still practice cooking and he enjoys the results. I have a small business making scrapbooks for people, and I work in a local restaurant part time, as well as raise our children and keep our house, which of course takes precedence. . He doesn't really care what I'm doing as long as it makes me happy and doesn't drive us unto financial issues. I am the same way. Do what you want, but don't make us bankrupt. You shouldn't be required to be all interested in his tree removal. I'll be frank, that sounds very boring. But you need to have some interest of your own, weather its cooking or sewing or collecting newspaper clippings, or, as my main interest is, raising children. As long as you aren't shirking obvious duties, like keeping your house, or bathing your kids, your husband shouldn't have a problem with that. If he does have a problem that you aren't all gung-ho about chopping down trees, then he needs to come to terms with achieving his goal, not be mad because it isn't your goal. If he can't and is going to be a snot about it, you can try to fight it out, but if he wants to end the marriage over such a trivial thing, then he's going to. Best of luck to you, though.
