Importance Of Ambition In Life By Rabindranath Tagore

1684 Words7 Pages

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring on the water.”
- Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali Polymath
In my own words, Rabindranath Tagore wants to give a message to everyone that you can’t achieve anything by just sitting down there, imagining and dreaming. He just want to tell everyone that in order to achieve your goals or ambitions by working hard for it because there is no shortcut in achieving your goals or ambitions in life, it will take a lot of hardships, challenges, determination, faith and courage in order for anyone to achieve their goals or ambitions. Like us students, we will not achieve anything if we just keep on looking and ignoring the things we need to do in order for us to achieve anything.
I remember when I was a 4th Year high school student, my english teacher will always tell us that we need to work hard not only for us to be able to achieve our goal which is to pass her subject and our other subjects but to be able to achieve our goals and ambitions in life like for me to become a Mechanical Engineer. Every time I am not being serious in my studies, my grandfather, when he was still alive, will always tell me that I will not achieve anything if I just keep on dreaming about my goals in life.
“When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live and in the manner in which you live.”
- Stuart Scott, ESPN Sportscaster and Anchor
Having a cancer is not only a challenge to the one who has it, but it

  • Henry David Thoreau's Search For Meaning

    Henry David Thoreau said, at one time, “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” I would say that while this is correct by way of defining success as the result of action, life isn’t always at the control of the individual, and that a person who single mindedly follows a goal will find themselves exhausted, when a better direction can be taken. Thoreau’s assertion has truth: Nothing happens in a state of inaction. The life of a human being is like the plotline of a story, and unless the character does something, the plot cannot and will not move forward.
