Of course, many times I have heard that ambition - is an ambiguous concept, and for each person they are associated with certain pictures.Someone once is a businessman walking on the head and can not see beyond their noses, that is his career.And someone sees an ordinary man who dreams of escape to the bright future with one of his strong desire.
As always look at the scientific evidence, in which ambition - is, first, the desire to reach some heights, which climb a few, and secondly - a heightened self-esteem and self-esteem multiply a hundredfold.
Definitions are on two opposite sides.On one of these ambitions - is good, on the other - bad.We have to understand where I came from such a substitution of notions, when a term is interpreted very differently.Perhaps something we do not understand?We will understand.
So, if we were to ask a few centuries ago the French, Polish, Russian, or an Englishman, what ambition, you would get a definite answer - conceit, arrogance, lust for power, ambition.The same value of this term is the translation from Latin (ambitio).An ambitious man is perceived as a rogue who is looking for profit and is ready to sacrifice anything for the sake of satisfying their needs.
Later, with the development of capitalism, the population of Europe (we are talking about the top and advanced youth) begins to use "an ambitious man," as a compliment to someone who has achieved success in a particular field, to earn money and become famous thus at least within their environment.
Thus, ambition - is not only the desire to achieve what others have not, but also to a certain degree of vanity.It turns out that in our country now, no one notices that uttering a single category, we endow its non-identical definitions.So, each of us speaks its own language, based either on dictionaries or on movies and series, came from the West.
interesting study conducted by American scientists, whose findings should be obvious.It's no secret that the ambitious man trying to achieve recognition and success often gets in stressful situations and gradually accumulates a negative emotion.Due to fatigue the body wears out, and, sadly, these people are dying faster than their peers who do not have such a significant success.
But what ambitions without result?Blank sound.However, the result was the need to make at least some effort, and not just consider yourself a man with ambitions.Ambition we are not vaccinated at birth, they emerge in the process of socialization of the individual, when we make the connection, establish contacts and are making progress in any area.
Thus, a vicious circle - a man who has achieved something, automatically tries to set himself big goals, because in a certain area of life, he has already taken place.
Then ambitions prevail, and from the positive traits, which encourages us to work (work ennobles man), turn into a threat to the individual.The fact that the results again, American Studies, ambitious people rarely give birth family, because they are likely to childhood parents are clearly prioritize where career - that's all.
often with a furious desire to success and money comes selfishness, or rather it comes into full force.And selfishness is useful only in limited doses, so that, like it or not, health suffers.
So what is the ambition?If science, the universal evil.And to be honest, let everyone decide for himself.However, we can develop this quality is likely to promote themselves to action rather than to arrogance and over-cultivation of megalomania.
