My Ambition in Life

MY AMBITION IN LIFE
C. S. Lewis said;
“Aim at heaven and you will get the earth thrown Aim at earth, and you get
neither.”
Life is not bed of roses. It is a bed of thorns. It is full of hardships. We have to face calamities and
catastrophes at every step. It is often said that life is a challenge and struggle. Therefore, in order to make
our lives great and comfortable, we should make strenuous efforts. If we want to lead a successful life, we
must have to clear aim in view because no human being can live without ambitions and desires. And also,
“When a man does not know what harbour he is making for, no wind is right
wind.”
Emerson said:
"Hitch your wagon to a star."
An ambition is a guiding star in our life. It stimulates our courage, energy and enthusiasm. Without
ambition, life becomes dull, drab and boring. Those who have no definite aim in their lives cannot rise in
life. A profession is usually considered a scale by which a man's prosperity is estimated. It works like a
guiding star and a lighthouse top. It directs the gone astray people to the right direction, and finally brings
them to their destination. It helps us to focus our heed and efforts on a particular target. It motivates and
compels us to be diligent, honest and steadfast in our efforts it makes us contented cheerful prosperous
and rich. It is rightly said;
“Man who has ambition to be considered as the best among good men.”
As it is the famous saying of Napoleon:
"Great ambition is the passion of great character."
A good profession brings about peace and calm of body and brain while a wrong profession results in
physical suffering and mental agony. It marks the delight of body as well as of soul. Therefore, one should
be very cautious in choosing a profession. There are heaps of professions. It is an uphill task for a young
man to decide about his profession. Many desire to be rich or to become businessmen. Some people
dream of becoming leaders, politicians and social reformers while most of the students aspire to become
engineers, doctors, lawyers, military officers and scientists.
Scott Reed has said right;
"This is one step... choosing a goal and sticking to it... changes everything."
Everyone has his own dreams and desires but the future profession must be selected keeping in view the
taste and talent of the person. There are many honorable professions lying before me also. However, I love
to teach. Therefore, I want to become a teacher in future. Teaching is work of prophets, priests, saints and
moralists. I have a good temperament and taste for teaching. It brings about profound happiness of soul
and mind. It showers a pleasing light of knowledge in the pitch dark of ignorance. It uplifts human work. All
the prophets were teachers. They taught people good moral values. As it has been said by a famous
philosopher:
"Teaching is the second profession of all the professions."
As a good mother rears good children, a good teacher builds up a good nation. This profession is according
to my taste and temperament. I am fit for this profession. By adopting this profession, I would be able to
increase my knowledge. I would ever read fine and fascinating books. I would also build up an extensive
library for this purpose. I would study, examine and analyze the education systems of the developed
countries. I would endeavor to inculcate their excellent educational qualities into our education system. In
this way, we would be able to adopt what is good and appreciable in their educational system.
As Bacon said that: "The mould of man's fortune in his own hand."
Since teaching is a profession of prophet, so there is no doubt of its sacredness. Our beloved Holy
Prophet Muhammad SAAW was also a teacher. He preached Islam by adopting the profession of
teaching. He also ordered us to learn Islam and teach it to others, and he announced the very person, the
best amongst us. That is why I have adopted the profession of teaching. This will help me in preaching my
religion and dispelling misconceptions, about it. Then it will become a source of my cordial and spiritual
satisfaction, which I am following the footsteps of my prophets and saints. I think this is a major reason,
due to which I am adopting the profession of teaching, a sacred profession. Someone has said rightly,
"An average person with average talents and ambition and average education can outstrip the
most brilliant genius society, if that person has clear focused goals".
I know that teaching is not a well - paid job. All over the world, teachers are low - paid. However, that
does not matter much. I do not want to be a moneybags. I know there are other professions that pay a
good deal. They bring fame and fortune as well. However, I like teaching for other things. I like it for its
sacredness, simplicity, sincerity and service of humanity. I love it for the sake of it and I know that:
"It is a wild goose chase to search for fortune and fame."
I have adopted this profession also because I want to serve humanity. Not half the population of Pakistan is
educated. Educated subject is the pillar of a nation's strength and progress. By gaining education, people
not only recognize themselves but also become aware of Almighty Allah's reality. In this way, they refuse
to seek help from anyone except God. They get out of the darkness into the light of education. Their life no
more becomes a burden on others as well as on themselves. By gaining education, they not only learn
about themselves but also get an honorable place in the society by gaining a suitable job. They learn to
work for themselves, for their family and for their nation. They get success in both this world and the world
hereafter. This is just because of gaining education and I am going to become a person who would show
the way of goodness to the gone - astray people. In this way, I will serve humanity and seek success in this
world as well as the world hereafter. Someone has said rightly, "Ambition makes a man energetic and
active."
It is a well- known saying of a famous philosopher that:
"The best people are those who make others useful citizens."
I love teaching for it helps a teacher to establish very sacred relations These are the relations between a
teacher and his students. The students are just like children for a teacher. He feels fatherly affection for all
his pupils. He feels proud of training some persons who are useful for their nation and the country. He feels
pleased with being respected, honoured and loved by his students because it is a natural fact that all the
students respect their teachers. Whenever he sees any of the students doing something exceptional, he
feels proud. He takes pride in the achievements of his pupils. This is a great feeling. No amount of wealth
can be alternative to this sentiment. It is a feeling of being important and useful.
Rob Richards said that: "Ingenuity, plus courage, plus work equals miracles."
After deciding what I should be, I devote all of my energy and time for the accomplishment of my aim. I
study good books day and night to increase my knowledge. I believe that a teacher must be an
encyclopedia in his person. He must have a comprehensive knowledge of his subject. The student may ask
him any question at any time and he should be in a position to answer their questions in the most
appropriate way. It is rightly said;
“A man without an ambition is really unfortunate man.”

I am interested in Urdu. The very verses of Urdu haunt me. Besides this, it is my national language. I am a
true patriot and therefore, I aspire to devote myself to the development and progress of Urdu, as it is a
very pleasant and vast language. I shall be able to express my inner self in Urdu and serve my nation. That
is why; I yearn to become an Urdu teacher.
James Crampy said.
“Big results require ambitions.”
I also know lofty aims require hard struggle.
Bacon says,
“The mould of man‟s fortune is in his own hand.”
I shall put in my best efforts to make my fortune. I think that teaching is the best profession of all the
professions. It will not only help me but also the others to seek success in both this world and the world
hereafter. However honesty and hardworking is the demand of every profession without which we cannot
get success. It is a well- known saying:
"The soul of success lies in assiduity and honesty."
To work as a teacher in an honest and efficient way will be my prime purpose of life. May God help all of us
to leave no stone unturned to achieve our good
Aim!
