Have you reached your peak, your plateau your highest point? Have you done all there is to do? There are 3 types of people in the world, and no I don’t mean personality types but ill classify these as ambition types. There are those who are complacent with mediocrity, those who are happy with enjoying the “now” without regard to the future. On the other hand there are those who couldn’t sit on a porch and do nothing without going completely crazy, those who must strive for the future because the “now” just isn’t good enough. Lastly there are those who live in the future and want so desperately to silence their cell phones, cancel their meetings and enjoy a glass of wine by the fire. The question now is, which ambition type are you? Those over the age of 50 may identify more with ambition type #1, sipping lemonade on a hot day, naming each car by make and model as they pass by. Type # 2 are the 25 and up crowd working to make life better and easier in the future, paving the way as some would say, constantly striving to “one-up” their parents and grandparents. Type # 3 should be those 25 and under who flash full speed ahead creating and innovating! As the type 1’s always say, “we are the future”, or are we? Society has reversed the ambition cycle and now more and more youth are content with life as it is! They no longer spend their nights planning and inventing, we now play video games, check friend statuses and reach for nothing beyond the table in front of us. Where has the ambition gone? We sit idle watching celebrity news but know nothing of real news! We spend nights at bars instead of coffee houses, planning business ventures. We can find friends from elementary school on Facebook but we cant find a job. We have deserted determination and no longer push for progress. Now is the time! It’s now or never, where will you be in 5 years? Sitting on the porch watching cars pass you by or will you self motivate yourself using every bit of the energy God has blessed you with to fulfill a purpose beyond you or the present. Be the future once again!!!!!!!!
YOU'VE JUST BEEN CARESSED
I identify with #2! I am not 25 but at the same time, now isn't good enough. This was so great Ressy! Did you research to find such detailed "types"? It describes me so well, and I can also place friends and family members in different categories. Lol my only critique is to add a Type for "Ambition-less" people who have all odds against them and refuse to go on...or something to that extent... LOved it though
