I want to change the world in some significant way, but behind the scenes enough where people won't mob me because I'm famous, but someone who follows my field closely will notice me and give a sincere thank you
That drives me through college and work

I am crazy ambitious about mastering my hobbies. I always want to get better and better at the things that I love to do and share it with those who wish to enjoy it.

I only get ambitious on things where I put forth a lot of time. Work is a great example. I'm there all the time, because that's just how it is, and I really want to be the best I can be. I want to get promotions, I want to be cross trained in different areas, I want them to ask me to cover for someone who can't make it even if I don't want to, I want to get the most hours out of my coworkers, I want them to feel like they need me and that, although I'm replaceable like everyone else in the business world, they will not want to let me go.

I think it would be absolutely amazing to write a novel that never really gets forgotten. It might not be the most famous novel, but one that sits in the background that people like to discuss would be fantastic. Then people wouldn't really forget me, or that I existed at one point or another. I guess that's what it really boils down to, not being forgotten.

I've been thinking lately that I'm not very ambitious. Right now, I'm a coder. This is my dream. I've achieved it, and I'm...21. But then I think "my dream is to be one of thousands of identical replaceable people?" Obviously I want to do the best I can and be promoted to higher coding positions, but at this point I think I would be happy for the rest of my life just having skills that help other people in this same job position.

I'm a pretty ambitious and competitive person for the most part. So when I take to something I strive to be the best at it, at least to be good at it.

As far as my personal ambitions go, I want to be successful as a teacher and I want to someday be a notable dance coach at least in my country. I guess my goals aren't as exciting as a lot of others but those are my passions xD

My ambition is to get a career as a math teacher, raise a family of my own, and try to retain my youthful appearance when my future kids are in their teens, which I'm failing at right now due to my current age and my new university taking me 2-3 years to complete.

I am a really ambitious person, in case you can't tell. Major long-term goals for me include:
  1. Obtain a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Duke U, also pursuing a minor or second major in business
  2. Work as an executive in the IT industry with that degree
  3. Save up a few thousand and go take my partner out of Germany
  4. On my trip after getting her we will go and visit the Dalai Lama before he turns 90 (time crunch!)
  5. Take her back to NC and help her transition to being female at the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Research Triangle while I'm at Duke
  6. Use my income as an executive to make her dreams come true

A major stepping stone I'm putting into place for this right now is that I'm withdrawing from public education and will be redoing my entire high school career at the iCademy by K12 to be able to walk into Duke with a good GPA.

To see all dumb people I know take a brain to the head. Idiots. Why do I have to be one, too?

Ambitions:
- get published (short story "collection", and four "novels")
- never get married (lots of women?)
- travel; to Europe, Australia/New Zealand, the America worth (?) seeing
- learn some languages more awesomer than English
- hit ~200k x360 gamescore
- learn to drive legally, and own own vehicle made of magnetic metal

I would like to get started in the business world and gradually move into politics, and work my way up the political ladder with my cunning, dashing good looks and charisma, and eventually become a Senator from my home state of Ohio. From there, it would be easy to go after the grand prize, and use that office and its political clout set up a winning campaign and be elected President of the United States.

If politics didn't work out, I'd settle for being a business owner/CEO. The current CEO of the company I work told me last year that in 25 years I'd be a CEO of a company, so I would very much like to prove him right, haha. I think that about covers it.

In no particular order...

I don't want to own a business proper, but I do strive to climb the corporate ladder as far as I can.

I'd like to have a family

I'd like to be rich, or pretty close to it

Sometimes I think that someday, when I'm not working, maybe I could enter politics in some minuscule way. But... no.

I'd like to travel the world (and eat through it)
