When I was still a child, I was innocent. All we do at home is to pray, to eat, to sleep, to watch TV and etcetera. Even in school, I do not have goals in life and I was just following what is in the 'social norm' in our society. Now, I grew up and I realized how much important is the goal and money in each of us. I realized that all of us have a purpose in life, that is why we're working too much and we're setting our goals for the future, so as you can see, being ambitious is not a sin. I believe it is. I have friends who dispise me because they thought, if a person is ambitious, it is wrong and it is a sin, and I don't agree with it, isn't it?

It is just right for every person to have their goals because this what makes us strong and continue living. Ambitions are there that is why we keep on working, dreaming,loving and living.

Being ambitious somehow means getting better and evolving. So I think I agree with you on this. There is not a single person on earth who would not like to go better and better in all possible aspects.
My purpose in life is to spend time with my loved ones, be happy, and try not to stress too much with daily issues.
I hope I can achieve this.

Being rich is not a sin. What may be a sin is what one has to do to get rich. How much money does one need to be rich? I just have enough and I feel I am rich. I even stopped working, except for online work like Mylot and Triond and a couple of othetr online businesses.

I agree with you. There is nothing wrong with being ambitious, because being ambitious is knowing how to dream. And one must dream in order to excel. Those who see you dream call it evil only because they themselves do not know how to dream, and they envy you because you have the guts to do so. It's crab mentality. They can't do it, so they hate those who can. Like haters on youtube. Just don't mind them and keep dreaming! Make goals for yourself and aim for the stars. And don't let anybody get in your way. Someday, their envy will turn into admiration. Just put your heart to it, and dedicate your dreams to God. That way, you can't go wrong.

Yeah have a same question in my past but now when I have own family I found that there is reason why I'm still here. Working and trying to give my best for them. But of all I found one important thing in my life when God show to me the right way and importance of life being with God...

Today, my English teacher talked about the purpose of life! We recently finished watching a movie because it's almost the end of the school year, and he taught us about how one life affects the next. It's the ripple effect, and what one person does spreads to a few more people, which spreads again. For example, I am in a good mood, and smile to everyone I see. They feel better too, and smile to everyone they see. One person can affect billions of people, or maybe even the whole planet. I think I'm going to start a discussion about this because I've thinking about it, and came along to you! I agree that it is right to be ambitious, because it is what you are. What you are is important in the world, because in reaching your goal, you affect numeral people along the way. You were meant to do that, and it is your purpose. I hope you have a good day, and pass it along (to everybody else too)!

Honestly, no one knows what their plan is because things happen. You can plan all you like, but something happens.
Purpose, what is our purpose, that we don't know? But if you want to find out what your purpose is, start trying different things that you seem interested and see what really sparks a passion in you. If you think that you are good at something, stick with it and see how far it will take you.

Ambitions, Goals and targets and achievements these all come from different things of our life.If we have interest on something we set to have a goal with it.If we need money we tryout things to earn it that will become our ambition.So for living we need something.That something which fulfills is called a goal.Now adays we need not only food , clothing ,shelter,needs of living we need more than these all.
