Ambitions

What are your ambitions in Life?

I admire the people who know what they want in Life. More often than not, these people have very detailed plans and a set timeframe about how and when they are going to achieve their goals in life. They pursue their dreams actively and work hard to make them a reality.

On the other hand, I only have a vague idea of what I want in life. My plans are not very detailed, just simple plans that I can easily change or modify if the circumstances do not allow it. Thus, I have back-up plans if things don't go the way I want them to be. I exert an effort to pursue them, but I also prepare myself if they don't become a reality.

I am really just a simple person with simple ambitions. I do not aspire to be rich, powerful, or famous although I would sometimes joke about it. I just want to have enough. Enough of everything necessary and vital. Maybe the only thing that I would have more that enough of is Happiness.

One thing that has become very important for most people is money. Many people go on living thinking that it is the most important thing in the world. Money is important, but there are other more important things in life. I'm just glad that I have realized this at a young age.

Because of this, I feel sorry for the people who think that money is everything. They cannot understand that there are more important things than money and they go on worshipping it.
I have sometimes been chastised for having simple or lowly ambitions, trying to convince me to be like them. I will never understand them and be like them. They will never understand my reasoning anyway.
