Ambition is the best quality anyone can have, until we crossed the line of chasing a dream and just being obsessed. No one is born with the ambition that makes you
obsessed with your goals and dreams in life. Certain incidents must occur to push this person to let ambition make you become obsessed with the goals and dreams in life. Yet,
Ambition can be bad if someone allow their ambitious minds to take over. A determined and overly ambitious mind is a blind one.
You may spend your whole life striving for a dream or goal that you have. You work so hard in getting what you think you really want, but when you actually achieved
and accomplished you goal or dream. You realized that you’re not happy and lost certain things that are so much more important to you then your so called dream or goal.
Knowledge is power and power can corrupt any human being. Victor and Macbeth had the opportunity to achieve their dreams and goals. This thought corrupted
both their minds. Ambition can give bad effect if someone acted on impulse which caused them to do whatever it takes to succeed, which caused them to make mistakes
that they regretted towards the end of their lives because they let their ambitious mind blind them of their senses and conscious of what is really important to them and what
truly makes them happy. Chasing a dream is good, until the mind is obsessed and is poisoned with the ambition that will change you to a whole new person.
