The Power of Ambition: Here is Why your Ambition Should Exceed Your Talent

Talent can't compete with ambition. Those who succeed are not necessarily the most talented, but those who keep working at something till they make it.

Everyone has got a talent. But ask yourself why some people succeed in an industry and others don't. This is because those who succeed work hard on their talent to develop and project it to their audience. They used hard work to polish their skills and become better at what they do. 

That's when you became successful with your passion. Having talent and not lifting a finger to make it better and impact people with it is as good as having no talent at all.

Ambition gives you the drive, courage and resources you need to succeed. An ambitious person will go out in search of the skills necessary for her success if she is not talented. She will work at what she doesn't know till she masters it because she has the drive and desire to succeed. She will find those who can help her strive in the industry she is working hard to dominate. She will work on reducing her weaknesses and increasing her strengths in order to become the best.

I believe that having talent is important to succeed but talent needs to be backed up by hard work. She who does something continuously gets good at it, masters it and becomes an expert in it.

So have your talent, passion or dream. It is good. But make sure that you put in enough effort to make you succeed. Your dreams will not materialise on their own. They need your effort to become reality.
