Do you have an ambition to be a CEO, or Managing Director?

I was the Managing Director (CEO) of a computer software house for over ten years. I found the experience exhilerating, but eventually ran out of ambition. Now I prefer a much more simple life. What are your thoughts and ambitions?

wow, you seem to be very successful and fulfilled! i'm jealous :)
i've been the COO of a financing company, and been very active with different business and civic organizations, practically was always on the run. getting married recently slowed me down big time! but somehow i like it. it got me to rest, to relax, to realize a lot of things, and to think about life. yet i'm not running out of ambitions, not at all, LOL! i guess it just shifted my gears and my direction to better ones. i can't wait til i set the cogs again and start the wheels spinning. this time with moderation and redefined purposes :)

I agree. Once you have been there and done that you have a wealth of experiemce under your belt, which leads to a better understanding of people, and what makes the world go round. I wouldn't want to be involved in such a hectic life again.
