 Ambition is the most important tool to achieving success



One of the most inspiring lines in cinema history had to be "My ambition far exceeds my talents," said by Johnny Depp's character George Chung. Armbition is the most important tool to achieving success, overriding both talent and resources by far.
So being successful ambition is very important.every ambitious person does not give rise to jealousy,greed and hatred.They are ambitious because of their goal.It is true that Ambition overrides humane feelings-success at whatever cost but whatever cost doesn't mean bad way always .It also mean hard work.It Is correct that ambitious person doesn't gave more time to family,love,charity .But many successful person give more time to their families.Many people manage all things.Persons who have ambition have their peace in their success.And he feel restful and contented when he achieve his goal.So being ambitious is essential for being successful in life.So be ambitious but not over ambitious.

India is a land of villages. It is said that real India lives in villages. About seventy per cent of its population lives in villages. India is undergoing revolutionary changes. Its villages are not untouched by those changes.

The changes are reflected in every walk of life. These changes have been brought by various agents. These include science, technology, and spread of education, advent of media in rural areas, industrialisation, urbanisation and migration. Hence the lifestyle, attitude and thinking have changed greatly in rural India. In fact these factors have combined to change the ritualistic rural society into a dynamic society.

Once upon a time Caste-based division has been prominently visible in rural India. But things are rapidly changing now. People do not care for any such distinction. There is an interdependence existence in society. There is a close interaction of people of different castes, creeds and religions, among them for various purposes. The outlook of the villagers has undergone sea change. They have begun to see things in broader context. This is a good sign.
