Student Essay: Becoming a Professor Begins Early with Achievable Goals

Google Classroom:

Kenneth A., 16, is a junior at Bemidji High School in Bemidji, Minnesota, U.S., and is also taking classes at Bemidji State University. In our student essay of the week, Kenneth writes about his journey to spread knowledge to the world, one goal at a time.

I had a problem in the fall of 2019. In the past year I had read more than 200 books and had become fascinated with personal growth and learning about the world. Reading transformed me and inspired me to want to contribute my own share to the world’s knowledge. Many of the authors I respected most were professors, and I wanted to follow in their footsteps. But I had no clue how to get there.

My father is a commercial fisherman in Alaska and my mother prepares taxes for companies. They couldn’t help me. However, unlike them in their youth, I had access to the internet. I decided that I would start my search in a familiar place: reddit. Reddit offers thousands of communities discussing different topics, and I found one just suited for my questions called r/AskAcademia. On that subreddit, I found several threads asking how to become a professor. I decided to dig in and see if I could find practical advice for following my new passion.

I found what I was looking for from the people on reddit who had posted the highest quality comments to other users’ questions. One reddit user was especially helpful, writing nearly 15 pages of material. I even talked on the phone with this user for more than an hour, conducting an interview of sorts. I made sure to clarify every little bit of information I was unsure about, and it paid dividends. I had truly struck gold with this wealth of information! I had it all in front of me, but I lacked a roadmap helping me to get where I wanted to go.

I needed actionable steps; steps that would help me see progress in real time. To solve this problem, I created a goal hierarchy.

Angela Duckworth, a psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania, is a big champion of goal hierarchies. In her book Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance , she writes that the most effective way to discover your top-level priority in life is by organizing your goals into a hierarchy. I learned from her that hard work is the deciding factor in regard to your success. Grit can be taught, as Duckworth identifies, and one way to improve your grit is to make a goal hierarchy.

“When you take personal responsibility, your motivation and work ethic increase to levels that you didn’t even know were possible.” — Kenneth A., Minnesota High School Student

Goal hierarchies start with your top goal (for me, becoming a professor), and continually break them down into parts that contribute to achieving them. This process eventually leads down to actions that you can do right away. This process may sound like a waste of time, but its benefits have not only improved my progress towards a professorship, but also my mental health.

For example, I figured out that research experience is crucial for getting into a top graduate school. So I took that step. I am currently researching how memories are stored in the mind and how they can conflict with one another with my mentor , Dr. Travis Ricks at Bemidji State University. I also realized that getting into the best undergraduate institution I could with a full tuition scholarship would save me financial stress and provide the best path to a professorship, so I set out to master the SAT test. I went through every practice test out there and ended up getting a perfect score. I wasn’t just doing this for my family. I did it for me. When you take personal responsibility, your motivation and work ethic increase to levels that you didn’t even know were possible.

By using a goal hierarchy, I was able to gain three major benefits:

Progressing toward my top goals . Before I created a goal hierarchy, I did not know if I was making progress toward my ultimate goal. And I hate stagnation. With my goal hierarchy, however, I can see where my time spent today leads me in the future. Furthermore, I chose to color code the bottom nodes of my goal hierarchy by their ability to be completed at this very moment. Green means it is a future goal. Yellow is a task which I can do right now. Blue is something I’ve already accomplished. If I am feeling down, I can pull up my goal hierarchy and hone in on the yellow tasks, taking action in areas that will improve my future self and boost my morale in the present.

Less mental clutter . Life is just too complicated, especially in the internet age. Grades, extracurriculars, social media , college applications . . . the list goes on. For me, it was my future. All the things I wanted to do were in one gigantic mess in my head. My goal hierarchy allowed me to think more clearly throughout my day. Beforehand, I was always afraid that I would lose some crucial piece of information, crippling my plan. When I was able to map out my long-term plans into a hierarchy, I was able to give that information a place to live and free up space for mental growth.

A practical look ahead . We all worry about how to get to our future goals. There seems to be such a wide gap between us as teenagers and the career workplace, and it strikes fear in us to measure that gap. Everyone tells us these days to follow our passion, but it’s hard to know how to even get there. We can start taking meaningful steps toward what we eventually want to achieve.

Doesn’t this goal hierarchy lock me into a set future? I have found that it doesn’t. I have switched from interests in genetics to history to cognitive psychology, and almost every single goal I have accomplished with the help of my goal hierarchy has contributed to all of them. The small, actionable steps you take right now can open you up to a world of opportunities – leading to your ultimate goal. They give you what scholar Nassim Nicholas Taleb calls optionality, a readiness to take advantage of the opportunities that life offers you.

Considering I didn’t know much about becoming a professor just last year, I’ve come a long way. I am pretty confident that I will achieve my top goal and end up at a research university, studying the human mind. How do we store memories? Can they be modeled in a simple way? Can we model the mind in a computer? What then happens to humans? The research possibilities are endless.

Hey Kenneth!   What I admire most about your academic ambitions is how proactive and pragmatic you’ve been in setting out to achieve them. 

In this age of internet and free information, we have access to more information than we could consume in a lifetime. Unfortunately, we often take for granted the vast sea of knowledge that is right at our fingertips. When you discovered the user on Reddit who gave you advice on how to become a professor, you tapped into a mere one of millions of treasure troves of information on the internet. I too find myself swimming in this endless sea of knowledge, whether it be going down youtube rabbit holes trying to understand complex physics theories or perusing KWHS articles to read ideas shared by my peers. Most people have access to the endless stream of knowledge on the internet, but individuals such as yourself who take advantage of it reap the most benefit.

Your work ethic and conviction that hard work leads to success was also extremely eye-opening for me. Setting goals is, arguably, the number one way to fulfill your vision, whether it be in academia or anywhere else.  Speaking from personal experience as a leader in my Boy Scout troop and community, setting goals is also one of the toughest skills to develop and apply. The way that you’ve employed Angela Duckworth’s “goal hierarchy” method is simple yet effective, can be applied to any vision you hope to achieve and is something I strive to emulate in my own academic endeavors. 

Becoming a professor is no small undertaking. You have a strenuous and time-consuming journey ahead of you, but I have no doubt in my mind that your goal-setting habits and defining curiosity will lead you to success. 

Cheers, Nihal 

Hi Kenneth, I truly admire your dedication to achievement and your organizational strategies. I’ve had similar experiences, and wanted to share one of them with you. Like you, I have a long-term goal of working in finance. A few years back, this seemed simply unattainable due to my lack of knowledge. However, by taking small, precise steps that will eventually translate towards my future goal, I was able to make progress. Since then, I have reached out to groups on reddit, such as r/wallstreetbets, and have found ways to expand my knowledge of the financial world. In addition, KWHS has played a role as one of my goals, since I found a team of high school students to compete with in the 2019-2020 KWHS Investment Challenge. This was an excellent way to experience realistic and focused trading strategies using the OTIS simulator. Generally, small steps towards a larger goal has helped me progress, and using this strategy for anything in life will make it attainable.

Like many children, I didn’t always enjoy writing so much. It was only through several supportive experiences that I was able to find such a passion. I believe that when you try new things and set goals for yourself, you are able to tap into unknown potential. Every person has certain abilities and skills, but they only gain meaning when they are used to create something special; sometimes, people are not even aware how to use them. I admire Kenneth for his hard-working character, being more than just the “smart student” in class. After reading his interview, I felt it is important to understand yourself and your capabilities. Many times, people are only aware of its existence but not much else. However, if you are able to study it, understand it, and harness it, you’re able to accomplish unbelievable things.. That is what creates passion.

After reading hundreds of books and becoming fascinated by the world, Kenneth found a drive to work hard and achieve what others couldn’t. By establishing a goal hierarchy, he was able to increase his motivation and work ethic to levels he didn’t think was possible. He was able to do this because of how he used his skills. Others might have had the same potential but were unable to create anything unique due to their inability to understand and use it well. During my last year in middle school, I began a journey of language and self-exploration.

I was in eighth grade, and my only life was school. I would wake up, take the bus to school, and spend time with my friends in class. My friends meant everything to me, and all I thought about was seeing them the next day after I had completed all my homework. My life was very simple — I didn’t think much about anything else. However, as the year went on, I began to notice that I was showing increasing interest in my English class, especially being engaged with my teacher who taught it. Before then, I was only concerned about finishing the assignments on time because I never knew what lay beneath the surface of the art of language. With his help, I was able to greatly improve my writing, and I no longer felt as if I was just writing for the grade. I was able to do so because I connected with him and was able to use the opportunities he gave as resources, just as Kenneth did to find a mentor. My goals before were simply his assignments because I myself hadn’t had any ideas for myself yet, but once I found my own ideas and feelings, I understood that writing was so much more than I originally thought. I knew that if I tried to explain what I felt now to my past self, I would not have understood. When simplified, writing is just a variety of letters ordered in a special way to create something meaningful. Without passion and understanding, words are just “one gigantic mess in [your] head.”

Since graduating middle school and saying goodbye to all my teachers, I’ve continued to write, not to impress others, but because it brings me to places in my heart only I’m able to enter and explore. I have so many thoughts and emotions everyday — from thoughts about life to little stories I play out in my head — so as to lose them all to forgotten memories, I now write in a journal to keep track of everything in my mind. I had used to write in a diary as a kid but quickly gave up as soon as my mom stopped reminding me to do it. Now, however, I love writing everyday because I’m able to feel what I couldn’t before. After knowing that what was once a mess in my head is now written for me to read, I feel complete. I don’t write because anyone tells me to, but because I find it to be something I love.

Since Kenneth started his journey, he has been sharpening his skills to achieve a goal much greater than mine, working hard to set goals for himself. What many people don’t realize is that even though sometimes they understand what they have and have polished their tools well, they don’t use it to its full potential, leaving the creation of possibilities untouched. In this way, they are completely unaware of what they could’ve been able to do, because they haven’t realized that there is no passion driving them forward. I am still on a journey of understanding who I am and what I’m able to do, and I’m sure there are many things still left for me to find. Kenneth is on a journey of his own, aiming to become a respectable professor studying human memories. Regardless of one’s goal or path, if you are able to understand yourself and find the right emotions to push you forward, there is so much potential to be discovered.

A goal is having a set of goals and breaking them down from most important to least so it will be easier to achieve the goals. This help Kenneth because it showed him what he needed to do and how he needed t do it just to be successful. I do have a goal-setting strategy and its very simple. I just set a list of goals short and long term and then I follow the short term because I will achieve those first, but once I achieve one short term I put effort into one long term because it’s easier to start early. Starting at a young age is very early but it is also great. It is never too early to start and yes his goals will change along the way because as he gets older he will experience new ideas and have a different mindset and might not be interested in those things anymore. If he doesn’t achieve his goals then yes it is a failure but if he achieves then and changes his mind because he doesn’t feel accomplished it’s not, its just a part of life and growing up.

Kenneth’s recommendation for a “goal hierarchy” certainly resonates with many motivated students and learners. His “top down” approach—firstly identifying a long-term goal to become a professor—ensures he will accomplish much if he continues investing in himself.

Like Kenneth, I have also employed a “goal hierarchy.” A wallpaper of sticky notes and deadlines litters the sides of my room. I too, have condensed my life into checklists of past, present, and future tasks. A friend once entered and theorized that I was a conspiracy theorist.

What I admire the most about Kenneth’s story is his remarkable flexibility and ability to change his “future” goals. In my sixth-grade year, I competed in my first-ever speech tournament and got eliminated quickly as a first timer. However, after watching the captivating performances by my eight-grade superiors, I immediately went home and set out a long-term goal of becoming the best speaker by eight-grade. My sentiment mirrored Kenneth’s, but I lacked the ultra-long-term vision he possesses. I threw myself into this passion and grew immensely as a person and speaker. Not only did my trophy shelf continue to fill up, I noticed a positive spillover effect. My work ethic in one activity spilled over; I soon excelled in my school grades and many extracurriculars. By eight-grade, I undoubtedly terrorized the local speech competition scene. However, success breeds complacency, and complacency is a dangerous place to be.

The following school year, I transferred to a substantially more competitive private high school. I was a big fish in a sea of much larger fish. Freshman year proved too challenging: My previous status as an elite student slipped away with my grades, especially in math, a subject I prided myself on. I had no idea how to improve my situation and felt like a failure. I began to falter the second I felt comfortable with the person I became. Thankfully, my peers weren’t. My Algebra teacher, recognizing my difficulty acclimating to her coursework demands, showed up at ungodly hours before school started every day to tutor me one-on-one. A community of lifelong scholars, adults and adolescents alike, rallied around me to ensure my success, igniting my drive for knowledge. Instead of silently taking notes during my classes, I tried joining the class discussion for once, launching me into an educational environment beyond the mundane lecturing I was so used to. I stopped doing things to check off a box on a “goal hierarchy” and fell in love with process we take to reach our dreams instead.

My new approach is far from Kenneth’s “top down” method; I’m a “bottom up” person. My “goal hierarchy” collapsed because I had surpassed it without updating it. I needed to reinvent myself. Unlike Kenneth, I no longer fixate on a single profession or goal. My interests continuously undergo unforeseen phases. One month I love foreign policy, the next I’m passionate about investment banking. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Although my interests freely range, I concentrate on honing my strengths. Building stronger relationships with my peers, writing more, working out harder, and training my intellect will aid me in any endeavor I pursue. Even if I have no idea exactly who I will become in the future, but I know I want to live a fulfilling life doing things I love for people I care about. It’s far from the specific mindset that Kenneth employs but still means something, at least to me.

To my fellow comment readers who might empathize: Do not assume that any approach is perfect. Kenneth’s ideals serve as a beacon for him to plot a productivity roadmap for success. No beacon pulls me. Instead, I have taken on responsibility for pushing myself. My future is uncertain, but if I keep putting one foot ahead of the other, reaching out to any opportunity I can uncover, then I will also reach something meaningful. The starting point might vary, but the ends and means both remain the same.

Kenneth’s article, however, demonstrates that “top down” or “bottom up,” taking responsibility for yourself is a paramount first step in your growth. Kenneth will continue to climb his “top down” hierarchy. And when he reaches the summit, I believe he will raise the bar even further. I do not know where I will end up, but if I continue to do the same, ensuring that I am a better person than the day before, I will also make it.

Former NBA player Walter Bond once said, “Sharks are hunters and predators. They never stop swimming. In fact, if a shark stops swimming, it will die. If a shark goes backwards, it will die.” Take a closer look at my wall of sticky notes, and you’ll find a picture of a shark, one that pushes me to stay productive every day. Sharks have no idea where they’re really going, but they follow the food. And if they stop, even for a second to breathe and look back, they will never move forward again.

Essay on My Ambition to Become a Teacher

For as long as I can remember I always liked teaching people something, being helpful to others. It started with helping some trying to tie their shoe laces, or making my younger siblings remember alphabets through a sing song rhythm. The sense of accomplishment I used to feel when the other person finally learnt whatever it was that I have been teaching them was indescribable. I used to feel as happy as the other person when those moments happened. It used to feel like I truly passed the torch to someone else.

Sometimes teaching is not easy as it sounds. I remember one time my sister could not solve the division questions which were assigned to her as homework, and she just could not understand the concept of division, that day it was first time when I shouted at her, and right after that the realization occurred to me that patience has to be my strongest suit if I want to able to teach others. The main reason I always wanted to teach was firstly I thought teaching comes naturally to me, and secondly I always had utmost respect for my teacher, they knew my strengths, and weakness more than I did.

My teacher whom I was very close to Mrs. Dawson was my first inspiration to become a teacher, and the first person to make me realize the power of teaching. I had a friend who was dyslexic, and most teachers used to run out of patient when they try to educate her but Mrs. Dawson was the only teacher who used to understand that she may need more time to understand the concept, and she even used to give her after school classes.  I did not see that as a teacher teaching her a subject I saw that as  motivator building someone’s confidence, giving her enough knowledge so that she make world understand her words clearly.

What started from teaching my siblings in their homework ended in me volunteering to teach underprivileged children, and making me realize that in this world there could be never enough educators there are people in this world who are always in need of learning.

My Ambition

The ambition of any person’s life usually depends on their choice and interests. I aspire to be a great dancer . I have always had the knack for dancing from an early age. My parents always encouraged me to pursue my passion. Like most of the parents, they never discouraged me because it is not the most sought after career.

Subsequently, I wish to become a good dancer. I do not want the fame of being a dancer; rather I want the acclaim of being a good dancer. As my parents motivated me to pursue my dream, they enrolled me in dance classes. It helped me grow a lot as a dancer and also enhance my skills.

Most importantly, I wish to be a dance because I want to remove the stigma surrounding this career path. I want to set an example that you can do well in life if you’re not a doctor or engineer. Especially in India, where these two ambitions are considered the most valid.

I believe in the power of dance, and how it conveys the message without words. Dance is the language of the soul, and it makes me feel alive when I indulge in it.

my ambition essay professor

I am a student who wants to become an engineer. This is my ambition for students in easy words.

My ambition in life essay 100 words is a short essay on my ambition for students.

Introduction:

Everyone aspires to something. Without ambition, life would be incomplete. It adds value to life and demonstrates how to live. It is pointless to live a life without a goal. Make the first goal, then go on to the next. Many individuals want to be company entrepreneurs, bankers, or factory owners.

Finding Your Strength

However, the aim should always be to accomplish what is possible. Because there is only grief, disappointment, and failure when aspirations are unfulfilled. Making an attempt to breathe is a waste of time. As a result, everyone should be honest with themselves about their skills. Identify your talents and limitations to make deciding on a goal simpler.

My Aspiration

1625966376_954_Essay-On-My-Ambition-For-Students-In-Easy-Words-8211

I’m extremely aware of my talents and shortcomings. I have no desire to be a movie star, nor do I wish to play football or cricket. I am an excellent student with a particular interest in maths. My father is also a maths instructor. As a result, I want to grow up and establish a school.

I decided as a child that when I grew up, I would become a good teacher because I saw in our village that poor children were unable to read and that when they attempted to read something, they were stopped by anti-social elements of society. I was angry because I was angry and I couldn’t do anything.

But I did know one thing: if everyone is educated, all of our society’s ills can be eradicated, and a new India can be created.

As a teacher, I want to educate large, little, and old people; this is my ultimate aim in life, and I will continue to pursue it. In 21st-century India, I’ve also seen that females aren’t taught much, that they aren’t permitted to study after school, and that they are expected to perform just housework.

As a teacher, I want to educate such individuals that girls can read their books just like boys and shine your name all over the globe, and our country’s girls have done just that, even though they don’t understand why people don’t teach females.

Teaching excellence is in my blood. This is a characteristic I got from my father. As a result, I want to teach mathematics at my school. The second important reason is that I think that all people should have access to education so that they may contribute to the nation’s development by becoming decent citizens.

In my school, I aim to keep the minimum tuition low so that everyone may benefit from an excellent education. My father also wishes to help me achieve my goal. He often describes what an excellent school should be like. My sole desire is to establish a school, and I am always willing to make that goal a reality.

It’s also an important skill to demonstrate to potential employers on a resume. Ambitious employees tend to be go-getters who are always looking for ways to improve their skills and knowledge. This can lead to them being more productive and successful in their roles. So, employers love them!

In this article, we’ll look at some examples of how you can demonstrate your ambition to others.

Examples of Ambition

1. To be the best at something – An ambitious person doesn’t settle for second best. They’re always striving to be at the top of their field. This could include being the best in your career field, the best parent, the best friend, or the best in a particular sport.

2. To aspire to something great – An ambitious person has big goals and isn’t afraid to pursue them. A potential employer wants to see this. They want to guide you on your journey rather than have you come to work to do the bare minimum because you’re not looking for anything more out of life.

3. To always be looking for a promotion – Explain why it’s good to want to get a promotion. An ambitious person is always proactively looking to improve their situation and move up in the world. This can be really beneficial for a company as it shows that you’re willing to work hard and take on more responsibility.

4. To take on new challenges – An ambitious person is always looking for ways to challenge themselves. Examples of new challenges you could take on in your life include learning a new skill, taking on a new hobby, or traveling to new places.

5. To be well-rounded – An ambitious person usually doesn’t just want to be good at one thing. They’re often ambitious to be the best they can be in all areas of their life. We can sometimes call these sorts of people ‘renaissance men’ (or women!).

6. To be passionate about what you do – Ambitious people have passion. They dive into their tasks head-first. Demonstrate your ambition to an employer by talking about your passions – examples of passions include sport, music, and travel!

7. To desire success – Too often, people are discouraged from saying out loud that they want success. It can feel embarrassing to say it because, if you fail, then the failure will be public. But it can also be an attractive trait to an employer if you desire success because they’ll want to leverage your desire to help their company succeed.

8. To want to make a difference – People who want to make a difference will always be looking for ways to improve the world around them. Examples of things you can do to try to make a difference in your community include volunteering, donating to charity, or campaigning for a cause you believe in.

9. To be persistent – Ambitious people don’t give up easily. Their ambition is what carries them forward and helps them to get through those hard times when others will quit.

10. To want to break a record – There is a subculture of people who want to show that they hold the record for something. For example, you could set yourself the goal of holding the record for the longest time spent spinning a basketball on your finger (you’ll have to beat 4 hours and 15 minutes , set in 2006). By showing your goals like this, you’ll demonstrate you’re an ambitious person.

11. To have a vision – People with ambition often have a clear vision for what they want in their life. Your vision for your career could be to become the CEO of a company, to start your own business, or to rise to the top in a specific industry.

12. To be self-motivated – Ambition and self-motivation are almost synonymous. People who have a goal that they want bad enough generally have the motivation to get up in the morning and take those small steps required to reach that vision.

13. To want to be extraordinary – Many people want to live a quiet, ordinary life with their family and friends. That’s great if it’s what brings you genuine joy. But often, employers want to see that you have the drive to grow your status in life and stand out from a crowd.

14. To desire wealth – People who want to be wealthy are often driven more than people who are content living a quiet upper middle-class life . This makes for a great trait for an employee. The boss will know that you’re going to want to climb the ranks in search of those higher-paying positions in the company.

15. To want to be famous – The desire to be famous can be an example of ambition, but be careful not to come off as vain or self-absorbed. Explain that you want to be famous to achieve something such as to help promote a cause or change the world with your influence.

16. To want to start a business – People generally want to start businesses because they have an innovative idea or they want to forge their own destiny. You could explain on your resume that you’d love to start your own business one day, and this job is like an apprenticeship in what it takes to do that.

17. To want to travel the world – Many ambitious people have a desire to explore and see as much of the world as possible. This might make you an attractive employee because you may be willing to take on assignments in other countries or relocate for the company. But, it might also scare off the employer because they might realize you want to take a lot of time off to travel!

18. To want to be an expert in something – In my early 20s, my ambition was based on my desire to be an expert in education. I was so driven by that goal that I wanted to get a Ph.D. in education, which I eventually achieved.

19. To be healthy and fit – A smart goal to have is the desire to be healthy. Demonstrating this to a potential employer can help to show them that you’re a well-rounded person who looks after their body and mind.

20. To want to write a book – Writing a book is a big undertaking. If you have already started writing it, it can show your potential employer that you don’t just have ambition, but you act upon it and take steps to reach that goal.

21. To want to retire young – The FIRE movement is a movement of people wanting to retire early. These people put away a large percentage of their money every month and invest it wisely to reach that goal. These people are extremely ambitious to reclaim time in their lives to spend it on their own interests, not at work.

Examples of Ambitious People

Oprah Winfrey is one of the most successful talk show hosts in the world. She’s also a Philanthropist, actress, and producer. She’s been quoted as saying:

“Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time.” ( Source )

This shows that she’s a very driven person who has achieved success by turning her ambition into action.

2. Bill Gates

Bill Gates’s ambition was to become the richest man in the world. And he achieved it in 1992 with a record wealth (for the era) of $6.2 billion. He’s now worth over $100 billion. But his ambition didn’t stop there. He’s also passionate about philanthropy and has given away billions of dollars to charitable causes.

3. Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela is one of the most famous political activists in history. He fought against apartheid in South Africa and was eventually elected as the country’s first black president. He’s quoted as saying:

“Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.” ( Source )

Mandela is so well respected because his ambition wasn’t for himself. It was all about having a better world for everyone.

4. Barack Obama

Barack Obama’s ambition was to become the first black president of the United States.

This is such a remarkable ambition because it had never been achieved. He had the tenacity to strive nevertheless.

He achieved his ambition in 2008. He’s now a bestselling author and has started his own foundation called My Brother’s Keeper Alliance which is a non-profit designed to help underprivileged black men.

5. Elon Musk

Elon musk’s ambition is to change the world and make it a more environmentally friendly place. He’s the founder of Tesla, SpaceX, and SolarCity. And he has plans to colonize Mars.

He’s also probably highly motivated by money.

I love this quote by Musk, which demonstrates what it’s like to be a highly ambitious person:

“There have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you?” ( Source )

Why is Ambition an Important Trait for an Employee?

Ambition is an important trait for an employee because it shows that they are driven to achieve success. It also demonstrates that they are willing to put in the extra effort to reach their goals.

An ambitious employee is someone who is always looking for ways to improve and grow. They are never satisfied with mediocrity and are always striving to be the best at what they do.

And that’s exactly what an employer wants.

Ambitious employees usually also have a strong sense of purpose. This means that they are more likely to be engaged and motivated in their jobs, which can lead to them being more productive and successful.

being ambitious is a trait that will help you succeed in life. It shows that you are driven to achieve success and are willing to put in the extra effort to reach your goals. Being ambitious also demonstrates that you have a strong sense of purpose and are more likely to be engaged and motivated in your job.

Ambition Essay Sample

Helen Keller once said, “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.” Helen became blind and deaf at the age 18 months, but she never let that stop her from being a success. She worked hard overcome her disabilities and become an advocate for many causes, including women’s suffrage. Rather than be shut away and isolated because of her disabilities, she was able to show others not to be afraid of their handicaps, and that they too, could achieve their goals with hard work and perseverance. By becoming such a prominent person in America, she was able to develop her character into someone who is still remembered as an inspiration to all today. When people have it easy in life, through good health, extensive wealth, or extraordinary ability, they may not appreciate all that they have. But when times are hard, that’s when character is shown. When I was younger I had to go through physical therapy to make by body stronger, and in school, I have had to overcome a slight Attention Deficit Disorder. While these are not at the same level of disability as Helen Keller, I can understand where she is coming from. I feel my character has been developed through fighting through adversity through hard work, just like she did. I don’t give up easily, even though I’ve had to work harder than others who do not have ADD. I have never asked for help and have done most of it on my own. My family and friends have been very supportive, including my mother, who told me that with hard work, I could achieve anything and to not let my problems deter me from my goals. I guess that means that my character is being developed through trial and suffering, just like Helen.

The aim in life is really important because an aimless person is like a rudderless ship in the sea and does not know the direction of their destination. Likewise, if we also don’t have an aim in our life, we won’t know where to reach. Thus to achieve it one has to overcome many obstacles and setbacks from time to time. I always wanted to be a professor and now my family is inspiring me to become a professor too. My parents are really supportive and they respect my decision. I have seen lots of my friends want to become a professor, and some of them want to pursue an MBA . There are a lot of aims and goals available that students can choose in their lives. Right now in this world, the top trending professions are Doctor, Teacher, Programmer, Designer, Architect, Marketer, Supervisor, Manager, Engineer, etc. Maybe you have something unique in you and you want to pursue that. So different people adopt different aims according to their inclinations, tastes or perceptions about life. My teachers are really helpful and are always guiding and helping me with my future plans. 

They have always inspired me to do better and work harder. I was once explaining some doubts to my classmates and I realized that I really like explaining and teaching. Later, I experienced teaching while doing an internship with an NGO. I went to a slum and taught kids there. I felt a different kind of satisfaction after teaching them. At that time I realized that I had never felt happier than this and decided to become a professor. I am one who enjoys exploring new places and getting to know new cultures, languages, and cuisines, and working as a professor offers many chances for me to develop those interests. After my English Honours degree, I will prepare for the Master’s degree. Then I am planning to take the UGC NET exam . Another big plus is the working hours that academia can offer, which are frequently more flexible than in other professions.

The biggest advantage of being a professor is that I find jobs in many places worldwide. I am really honest and passionate about my aim in life. It is surely a long journey but I will try my best to reach my goal and I suggest everyone do the same. According to me, timely execution of an action plan with a proactive attitude is the key to success. One of the best ways to stay motivated is by visualizing the change and likewise by achieving step-by-step milestones.

My aim in life is to grow to be a doctor in the future. I believe that medicine is one of the noblest professions to pursue in the world. I belong to a family of doctors and just like my mother, I aspire to be a neurosurgeon. The study of neurology and its impact on our behaviour, personality, and character is what intrigues me the most about the field. My curiosity towards the medical world and ambition to be a doctor is what motivates me to study harder and more diligently. The study of medicine is not easy but it opens up a whole new world of interaction. Learning about basic cell function to discovering the mechanisms of our brain is a fascinating journey. As a school student, I wish to excel in certain subjects like biology, chemistry, physics, maths, and psychology so that I can pursue my dream of becoming a doctor and a neurosurgeon. I hope to participate in different charities, health clinics, and services to gain the relevant skills one needs to be a doctor. I wish to work upon my social and communication skills because good communication is the backbone of every industry. I have the confidence and hope that one day I will achieve my aim in life to become a doctor.

“A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instil a love of learning.” Teachers are the foundation of a good society, they not only facilitate learning but also inspire children to follow their dreams and goals in life. This is why my aim in life is to become a teacher. My teachers have had a tremendous impact on my life, they taught me to believe in myself and follow my path no matter what. I wish to inculcate this belief and nurture it. Becoming a teacher can help me spread this knowledge and belief of believing in one’s ability to achieve their goals, to be individualistic and creative. I believe that I can be a good teacher because of my experience, humility, and caring nature. I possess all the skills and qualities that a promising teacher should possess. I hope one day I get the opportunity to follow my passion for teaching and educating the world in the future.

My aim in life is to become an engineer. Belonging to a family of engineers I have aspired to become a mechanical engineer like my father. Efforts anyone puts in becoming an engineer will be the best investment ever. I will face many challenges at work but it will open an array of opportunities for me around the world. My curiosity towards the engineering world and ambition to be an engineer is what drives me to study harder and more diligently. I have started to prepare myself for this journey from the school level. Engineering is all about creating new products and bringing up changes in the existing ones for better functioning. I have started participating in various Olympiads, competitions to level up my knowledge and turn my passion into a career. I hope one day I get the opportunity to follow my passion for engineering and bring a change in the future.

Essay on My Ambition in Life: 600-700 Words

Ambition is a powerful driving force that compels individuals to strive for greatness and reach their full potential. It is the inner fire that ignites our passion and fuels our determination to achieve our goals. My ambition in life is to become a successful writer and use my words to inspire and impact others on a global scale.

The inspiration behind my Ambition

Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated by the written word. I remember spending countless hours immersed in books, getting lost in the magical worlds created by authors. As I grew older, my love for writing only intensified. 

I would scribble down my thoughts and ideas in journals, pour my heart out in poetry, and create short stories that transported me to different places and times. Writing was not just a hobby for me; it was a way of expressing myself and making sense of the world.

As I entered my teenage years, I started to understand the power of words. I realized that writers have the ability to influence and shape people’s thoughts and emotions. They can open minds, change perspectives, and even spark revolutions. This realization only fueled my ambition to become a writer and make a difference through my words.

Turning Point in My Journey

My first major breakthrough in my writing journey came when I won a school-wide essay competition. The topic was “My Vision for the World,” and I poured my heart and soul into crafting a powerful piece. 

The judges were impressed by my writing style and the depth of my ideas. I was awarded a cash prize and was invited to read my essay at the school assembly. The overwhelming response from my classmates and teachers further cemented my ambition to pursue writing as a career.

In college, I majored in English Literature and Creative Writing, determined to hone my skills and learn from the great writers who came before me. I devoured books of all genres, studied the techniques of renowned authors, and attended writing workshops and seminars. 

I also started a blog where I shared my thoughts and short stories, gaining a small but loyal following of readers.

My experience

One of the most significant experiences in my writing journey was when I was selected to participate in a writing retreat in a remote village in Italy. It was a life-changing experience that allowed me to disconnect from the chaos of the world and immerse myself in my writing. 

Surrounded by nature and like-minded writers, I wrote some of my best work during that retreat. It was there that I realized the true power of writing to connect people from different backgrounds and cultures.

As I continued to pursue my ambition, I faced numerous challenges and setbacks. Rejection letters from publishers, writer’s block, and self-doubt were all part of the journey. But I refused to let them discourage me. 

I drew inspiration from successful writers who faced similar struggles and persevered, and I reminded myself of my ultimate goal: to use my words to inspire and impact others.

One of the most fulfilling moments in my writing career was when I published my first novel. It was a story that I had been working on for years, pouring my heart and soul into every word. 

Seeing it on the shelves of bookstores and receiving positive reviews from readers was a dream come true. But more importantly, I was proud of the message of hope and resilience that my book conveyed.

My ambition in life does not end with just one book. I am determined to continue writing and sharing stories that touch people’s hearts and minds. I want to use my platform to shed light on important social issues and inspire positive change. And I hope to write stories that transcend borders and bring people together, regardless of their differences.

In conclusion, my ambition in life is to become a successful writer and use my words to inspire and impact others. I believe that writing is a powerful tool that can change the world for the better, and I am determined to use it to its full potential. 

With hard work, perseverance, and a strong belief in my abilities, I am confident that I will achieve my goal and leave a lasting impact on the world.

My Ambition In Life Essay: 500 Words  

My Ambition In Life Essay: 500 Words

Each living being has a calling in life. This calling gives them purpose and reason for being alive. So, it is very crucial to find our ambition in life and work on it till we become who we are. Each of us has a different dream. We want to be doctors, engineers, writers, politicians, teachers, firefighters, scientists, and more.

When we have ambition, we can plan our lives ahead. It is the driving force behind our lives, and our ambitions lead us to different places and phases in our lives.

The Importance Of Ambition In Life

It is essential to have ambition when we want to reach higher positions in life. We will not understand how high we can climb unless we look above. Having an ambition in life helps us create goals and keeps us motivated and energetic throughout our journey.

With a high and strong ambition, not only can we develop a plan, but we can also measure the amount of work we have to put in to reach the level we are dreaming of reaching. It works like an ultimatum that makes us work against the clock and the calendar. The cost of success and reaching our life’s goal is hard work and strong determination. Our ambition helps us strengthen that determination.

My Ambition In Life

My ambition in life is to become a successful teacher. I believe that teachers are essential contributors to society. They are the makers of engineers, scientists, journalists, doctors, engineers, and politicians of the next generation.

I want to gain as much knowledge as possible and distribute them among students of the next generation. Teaching is one of the noblest professions, and teachers are respected and loved by everyone in society.

But there is more to being a teacher than we generally know. Most importantly, teachers have the opportunity to meet different types of children . They know and understand that every child is unique and different. They take unique measures to help all of them blend in and learn their academic lessons in the environment of a school.

Teachers are also responsible for building their student’s moral, social, and ethical values. They help students learn about their cultures, help them become creative, and motivate them.

After the parents, it is the teachers who take the responsibility of teaching about the rights and wrongs to their students. Being a teacher is a heavy responsibility to take, and I am ambitious enough to fulfill my dream and take this responsibility seriously.

With ambition comes the fear of being over-ambitious. Growing up too fast only leads to longtime failure and resentment. So, we should always beware of an over-ambitious attitude. We should always measure our ambitions in life by calculating our steps and taking them accordingly.

In conclusion, our ambitions help us follow and achieve our goals in life. But, we should be very calculative and smart about what we desire. It is always wise to keep realistic ambition and move forward accordingly.

My Ambition in Life: 400 Words

Everybody in this world has this innate desire to do something meaningful that will make a difference in other people’s lives. This desire to attain a meaningful position or become someone important is known as ambition. People can have different ambitions in life. For instance, someone may want to be a doctor and save lives, another person may want to be a social worker and work at the grassroots level to help improve other people’s living conditions. Some people also want to be teachers or professors to not only educate but also help them to realize their potential.

However, my ambition since childhood was to become a journalist. I wanted to travel the world, cover exciting and interesting events, and write about them. Personally, the storytelling aspect of Journalism interests me the most. I want to visit new places, meet people from all walks of life hear their stories, and write about them. 

Now that I am in college and studying Journalism and media studies, I have realized that Journalism is much more than traveling the world and writing about people’s stories. It is also a kind of public service because all journalists have an ethical duty to collect and report accurate information in an impartial manner regardless of the field they are working in – politics, current events, business, or entertainment. 

I want to work as a reporter in the field of politics because this field will provide me with ample opportunities to travel all around the world and meet new people – which was my original reason for becoming a writer. But alongside traveling, now I want to write about different current events in politics and governments around the world. I also want to write and talk about the voting process in an impartial manner so that more people become aware and go vote. Furthermore, I want to cover stories on topics such as universal healthcare and education so as to keep the public informed about what steps are being taken by the government to improve these areas.

It is very important that everyone should have an ambition in life. It can be a big ambition or something small, but everyone should have an ambition. This is because life without an aim or an ambition becomes meaningless or directionless. The aim in life to do something meaningful and to become someone is what drives us and inspires us. And finally, when we are able to fulfill the aim we have set for ourselves, there is no better feeling in life than that.

Introduction

Ambitions are a necessary thought. Everybody has some or other ambitions in their life. Without ambition, life seems to be without any motive. Ambition gives us the energy to achieve our goal. There can be many obstacles and hindrances in getting our objectives to be fulfilled, but if we have a clear ambition then it is not difficult.

My Ambition in Life

From my childhood, I have the ambition to become a doctor and serve the whole nation and humanity. As I have seen the white dress of the doctors, at first I was fascinated by the same. But I also have a love for their noble work too. I wanted to provide free services to the people who were poor. Secondly, I have seen many of the patients dying because of not having money and facilities. I wanted to work for them. People consider doctors as God figures and this feeling gave me immense respect for this profession.

I never wanted to become a doctor full of greed. The scenario today has been changed a lot, many doctors have changed their aim from serving mankind to money-making. But still, there are doctors who can be a role model for others. From my childhood, I dreamt of becoming a doctor and my ambition did not change, it remained the same.

An ambition gives a proper perspective to our life and thinking. Thus we should have one or the other objectives in our life and also work harder to attain the same.

Essay 2 (400 Words) – My Ambition to Become a Social Worker

Everybody in this world has a desire to become something, attain some of the positions. Some dream of becoming doctors, engineers, scientists, writers, political leaders, and many more. The aspiration to become something is called to be having an ambition.

My Ambition to Become a Social Worker

During my childhood, I dreamt of becoming a doctor and serve my nation. It may sound funny that I am afraid of seeing blood and patients. So I dropped the aim to become a doctor. I have seen many small children begging and working in many of the shops and restaurants.

So I came to a decision to become a social worker. At least I can do something for their betterment. This will provide a sense of satisfaction to me after work. I also have a great love for animals and nature. As animals cannot speak up and express their pain and feelings, therefore I want to make people aware of the same and further teach them to look after them.

I just have the main motive behind becoming a social worker that I could do something for the people and nature. I have seen many of the children working to make their families survive, but they are unaware of the beneficial government schemes. Therefore it is a good deed to make people aware of the same. There are many children in society who are not properly guided and therefore are directed to the wrong path. So if I would work in this field, it will give me immense pleasure.

Working for Nature and Society

The work of a social worker is to work for a social cause. After becoming a social worker I would be able to make people understand the importance of education, by conducting surveys and awareness programme. According to me, we should also care for our surrounding in which we reside.

We should never allow anybody to do activities which may destroy the balance and nature. The animals, plants, and trees along with other organisms have the same right as we do have on this planet. But we could see that we are forgetting our responsibilities towards our nature. As a social worker, I would be working for the upliftment of society as well as nature too.

There must be an ambition in everyone’s life. Life without an aim is meaningless. The objective in life to do or become something drives us with positivity and courage to fulfill the same. One should not waste the precious gift of god i.e. life in vain, instead, make it worth.

Essay 3 (500 – 600 Words) – My Ambition in My Life

Life is a mixture of struggle and happiness. Ambitions make our life a sensible and beautiful one. Every one of us dreams to become something or the other in our lives. This is our ambition, which makes us work for the same and achieve it without getting disturbed by the hurdles of life. So we can say ambition is that driving factor which makes us successful in making our dreams comes true.

Significance of having Ambition in Our Life

  • It is their ambition only which makes people reach higher positions.
  • Having an ambition in our life helps in identifying the goal of our lives.
  • Ambition makes our life lively and energetic. If we have some motive then we continuously work in order to get it fulfilled.
  • Ambition inculcates in us the feeling to work hard to accomplish our dreams.
  • Ambition creates a situation for us to achieve our goal at any cost of hard work and firm determination.
  • Boosts the confidence level of an individual, and brings discipline in one’s life.

My Dream to Become a Teacher

The main motive of my life is to impart the knowledge I have gained, to others. As I believe in the fact that knowledge enhances as much it is distributed. I wanted to become a teacher as this will help me a lot in fulfilling my motive. Secondly, I found the teaching profession as one of the noblest professions.

Reasons for Opting to become a Teacher

It creates a lot of opportunities to learn about different aspects. According to my opinion, a teacher is a person in a child’s life, who is guiding the child about right and wrong after parents as first teachers. As a teacher I want students to consider me as their friend so that I may closely get to know about them.

Teachers are provided with an opportunity to get to know different types of children from various societies, thus making them more social. After I become a teacher, I will ensure that children are not only learning the subject matter but also moral values, ethics, and culture. The main thing is that I have seen an image of motivational speakers in me, so I think I will be better at motivating students to understand their aim and work for the same. At the same time, I am trying to inculcate as many features as one could in me, for becoming a successful teacher.

Uncertainty to Ambitions due to Pandemic Situation

There is a lot of uncertainty that has been created during the pandemic situation.

Many people have been fired from their dream job which is a great loss to their carrier and family. Many of the companies have not visited the colleges for placements, thus making students disappointed and concerned for their future. Even numbers of students were deprived of exams due to the critical situation. Therefore it can be stated that pandemic has raised the situation of uncertainty and depression among students and people.

But one must not lose hope and courage as life is filled up with hurdles, and we are the one who has to pave our way.

Risks of becoming Over-Ambitious

  • The over-ambitious attitude is a dangerous one. Every success we get is a step-wise process. Over-ambitious nature accounts for attaining everything in life, but at a faster rate which may prove bad.
  • The person may lose the pleasure of the family and attention too, in fulfilling his ambition only.
  • Life may also become short, as in a race to achieve a lot in less time one may pay less attention to the health requirements.

We all are not born with ambitions; instead, we have to inculcate it among us as we grow up. Ambitions are something that we desire to achieve in our lives, and thus we have to work sincerely with a lot of efforts to accomplish our goals.

The Most Important Thing I Teach My Students Isn’t on the Syllabus

my ambition essay professor

By Frank Bruni

Mr. Bruni is a contributing Opinion writer and the author of the forthcoming book “The Age of Grievance,” from which this essay is adapted.

I warn my students. At the start of every semester, on the first day of every course, I confess to certain passions and quirks and tell them to be ready: I’m a stickler for correct grammar, spelling and the like, so if they don’t have it in them to care about and patrol for such errors, they probably won’t end up with the grade they’re after. I want to hear everyone’s voice — I tell them that, too — but I don’t want to hear anybody’s voice so often and so loudly that the other voices don’t have a chance.

And I’m going to repeat one phrase more often than any other: “It’s complicated.” They’ll become familiar with that. They may even become bored with it. I’ll sometimes say it when we’re discussing the roots and branches of a social ill, the motivations of public (and private) actors and a whole lot else, and that’s because I’m standing before them not as an ambassador of certainty or a font of unassailable verities but as an emissary of doubt. I want to give them intelligent questions, not final answers. I want to teach them how much they have to learn — and how much they will always have to learn.

I’d been on the faculty of Duke University and delivering that spiel for more than two years before I realized that each component of it was about the same quality: humility. The grammar-and-spelling bit was about surrendering to an established and easily understood way of doing things that eschewed wild individualism in favor of a common mode of communication. It showed respect for tradition, which is a force that binds us, a folding of the self into a greater whole. The voices bit — well, that’s obvious. It’s a reminder that we share the stages of our communities, our countries, our worlds, with many other actors and should conduct ourselves in a manner that recognizes this fact. And “it’s complicated” is a bulwark against arrogance, absolutism, purity, zeal.

I’d also been delivering that spiel for more than two years before I realized that humility is the antidote to grievance.

We live in an era defined and overwhelmed by grievance — by too many Americans’ obsession with how they’ve been wronged and their insistence on wallowing in ire. This anger reflects a pessimism that previous generations didn’t feel. The ascent of identity politics and the influence of social media, it turned out, were better at inflaming us than uniting us. They promote a self-obsession at odds with community, civility, comity and compromise. It’s a problem of humility.

The Jan. 6 insurrectionists were delusional, frenzied, savage. But above all, they were unhumble. They decided that they held the truth, no matter all the evidence to the contrary. They couldn’t accept that their preference for one presidential candidate over another could possibly put them in the minority — or perhaps a few of them just reasoned that if it did, then everybody else was too misguided to matter. They elevated how they viewed the world and what they wanted over tradition, institutional stability, law, order.

It’s no accident that they were acting in the service of Donald Trump, whose pitch to Americans from the very start was a strikingly — even shockingly — unhumble one. “I alone can fix it,” he proclaimed in his 2016 speech accepting the Republican Party’s nomination for president; and at his inauguration in January of the following year, the word “humbled,” which had been present in the first inaugural remarks of both Barack Obama and George W. Bush, was nowhere to be found. Nor were any of its variants. That whole sentiment and politesse were missing, as they had been during a campaign centered on his supposed omniscience.

There are now mini-Trumps aplenty in American politics, but anti-Trumps will be our salvation, and I say that not along partisan or ideological lines. I’m talking about character and how a society holds itself together. It does that with concern for the common good, with respect for the institutions and procedures that protect that and with political leaders who ideally embody those traits or at least promote them.

Those leaders exist. When Charlie Baker, a former Massachusetts governor, was enjoying enormous favor and lofty approval ratings as a Republican in a predominantly Democratic state, he was also stressing the importance of humility. He was fond of quoting Philippians 2:3, which he invoked as a lodestar for his administration. “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit,” it says. “Rather, in humility value others above yourself.”

That’s great practical advice for anyone in government, where most meaningful success hinges on teamwork and significant progress requires consensus. Governing, as opposed to demagoguery, is about earning others’ trust and cooperation. Exhibiting a willingness to listen to and to hear them goes a long way toward that.

“Insight and knowledge come from curiosity and humility,” Mr. Baker wrote in a 2022 book, “Results,” coauthored with his chief of staff, Steve Kadish, a Democrat. “Snap judgments — about people or ideas — are fueled by arrogance and conceit. They create blind spots and missed opportunities. Good ideas and interesting ways to accomplish goals in public life exist all over the place if you have the will, the curiosity, and the humility to find them.”

Humble politicians don’t insist on one-size-fits-all answers when those aren’t necessary as a matter of basic rights and fundamental justice. Humble activists don’t either. The campaign for same-sex marriage — one of the most successful social movements of recent decades — showed that progress can be made not by shaming people, not by telling them how awful they are, but by suggesting how much better they could be. Marriage-equality advocates emphasized a brighter future that they wanted to create, not an ugly past that they wanted to litigate. They also wisely assured Americans that gay and lesbian people weren’t trying to explode a cherished institution and upend a system of values, but instead wanted in.

“I don’t want to disparage shouting and demands — everything has its place,” Evan Wolfson, the founder of the pivotal advocacy group Freedom to Marry, told me when we revisited the movement’s philosophy and tactics. At times, he acknowledged, champions of a cause “need to break the silence, we need to push, we need to force.”

“But I used to say, ‘Yes, there’s demanding, but there’s also asking,’” he recalled. “And one is not the enemy of the other. People don’t like being accused, people don’t like being condemned, people don’t like being alienated. It’s a matter of conversation and persuasion.”

That’s consistent with the message delivered by Loretta Ross, a longtime racial justice and human rights advocate, through her teaching, public speaking and writing. Troubled by the frequent targeting and pillorying of people on social media, she urged the practice of calling in rather than calling out those who’ve upset you. “Call-outs make people fearful of being targeted,” she wrote in a guest essay for Times Opinion . “People avoid meaningful conversations when hypervigilant perfectionists point out apparent mistakes, feeding the cannibalistic maw of the cancel culture.” Instead, she advised, engage them. If you believe they need enlightenment, try that route, “without the self-indulgence of drama,” she wrote.

She was preaching humility.

She was also recognizing other people’s right to disagree — to live differently, to talk differently. Pluralism is as much about that as it is about a multiracial, multifaith, multigender splendor. That doesn’t mean a surrender or even a compromise of principles; a person can hold on to those while practicing tolerance, which has been supplanted by grievance. Tolerance shares DNA with respect. It recognizes that other people have rights and inherent value even when we disagree vehemently with them.

We all carry wounds, and some of us carry wounds much graver than others. We confront obstacles, including unjust and senseless ones. We must tend to those wounds. We must push hard at those obstacles. But we mustn’t treat every wound, every obstacle, as some cosmic outrage or mortal danger. We mustn’t lose sight of the struggle, imperfection and randomness of life. We mustn’t overstate our vulnerability and exaggerate our due.

While grievance blows our concerns out of proportion, humility puts them in perspective. While grievance reduces the people with whom we disagree to caricature, humility acknowledges that they’re every bit as complex as we are — with as much of a stake in creating a more perfect union.
