Speech on My Ambition of Life

Speech on My Ambitions in life

Good morning everyone, respected principal, teachers, and my dear friends, I am Mishkat, here to talk about the ambitions in my life. Let me first ask all of you, my friends, what are your ambitions? Have you ever thought about what it is to have an ambition in life is? Ambition is a very subjective term it means different to different people. The common ground for everyone when one thinks of aim is the desire to achieve something by doing something that they are passionate about and interested in.

It is a very common question that our peers and even elders ask what is your aim in life? Many people find it difficult to decide on one specific aim in particular some have multiple interests and want to excel in all, which is quite a task. I have always believed that instead of being a jack of all trades one needs to be a master of one.

I have always seen my elder brother having an aim throughout his school life. Sometimes it was to score well in exams, be the school captain and sometimes it was to get admission to his desired university.

It was through him that I understood having ambition is so important; it is the source of inspiration and the driving force behind leading a fulfilling life.

Having an ambition drives you to have a purpose in life and to continuously keep on working towards it. To discover your aim, one must explore different interests and keep on trying. One can have a short-term goal that can also be the ambition to be fulfilled. And other kinds of ambitions can be professional or personal. Aimless people have no driving force that inspires them to wake up every morning to get to work and fulfil their ambitions. And they often fall prey to the vicious cycle of lethargy, inactiveness, lack of motivation, or will to do better or get anywhere in life. And thus one must be ambitious.

I was also one among those who had many interests and tried to do everything, it was a challenge to sit still and think about something that I am truly passionate about and ambitious enough to achieve as well. I have always been philanthropic thanks to my grandfather who has always inculcated this value in me since I was a little girl/boy.

During one such visit with my grandfather where I was accompanying him to assist in his medical aid program to the underprivileged, I realized I want to do just this. I want to become a doctor just like my grandfather. It was a shocker for my family when I told them this, they reasoned saying since I was always into extracurricular activities and arts completely diving into such an academic route will require hard work and a lot of sacrifices.

Having an ambition doesn’t make the mountain of hurdles and obstacles smaller it just makes the climb easier and gives strength to keep going. I am preparing and working hard in all the subjects that I need to for scoring well in the entrance exam. Only then I can attend a prestigious university.

Everything in life needs our effort, time, and patience no matter what field it is. Nothing is served on a silver platter, one might think it would be so much better to enjoy than to work hard. Well, decide what it is that you want to achieve, having an aim will make all the hard work worthwhile. I know some of my friends want to become, teachers, singers, actors, mathematicians, dancers, sportsmen. I wish you all the best to work and have patience even when it gets difficult.

Thank you.

Or,

Good morning everyone, I am Mishkat, here to speak about the ambitions of my life. We all have dreams and multiple ones that we wish would come true. Ambition and aim on the other hand do not work like that, one cannot wish for it to come true. When dreams become realistic goals we can consider them as our ambition in life to be achieved so we feel worthy and happy.

My ambition in life is to become a teacher just like my mother, and all my teachers here have also played a part in me coming to realize my aim. My mother is the most important and inspiring person in my life. She is the best teacher; many of her students reach out to her even when they have something personal to share. A teacher is a teacher even beyond classrooms; I find so much beauty and depth in my mother’s profession that it has inspired me to take upon this as my aim as well.

I also want to have a part and role in children’s development and help them become responsible and accountable individuals. Teachers truly hold a reputation for being strict but when one has the responsibility of the next generation leaders of the country some level of strictness will push the students. The teacher understands when to be strict and when to be the student’s friend. And they walk a tightrope in balancing all of this. I hope my inspiration will help me to work hard and achieve the ambitions in my life.

Thank you.
