“Ready, set, go!” the race anchor yelled out. Several bodies ran, some fast, some slower. The winner was congratulated and wore her metal proudly. Everyone said she won because she had ambition. They said she was determined to win, no matter what.

Many ambitious people will tell you that part of the price is having to sacrifice other things you might want along the way and that it requires an intense resolve to stick to your single goal.
