Jak ambitny jesteś? - How ambitious are you?

From my point of view ambition is very important in everyone's life. I am very ambitious. In future I would like to become an interpreter and a translator. That is why I would like to study applied linguistics at the University of Warsaw. I am ready to work hard because I want to achieve my aim by hook or by crook. The question is how to achieve success in life? How to be at the top? It is very difficult to tell exactly, but no doubt, you must strive to be one of the best in your profession. Nowadays we sometimes hear about high-fliers, very ambitious persons who will do everything to achieve success. They work hard and do everything so that their dreams will come true. Is there any recipe to be successful in life? What should we do?

To my mind the most important qualities are diligence, conscientiousness and determination. Everything depends on us. If we want to achieve something, we have to work hard. We should be optimistic and should not be disheartened by failures. We must enjoy what we do. We should possess a thorough knowledge in the area we are interested. We ought to be open-minded and improve our skills all the time. However, we should not forget about relaxation.

The rule to be at the top is quite simple: work, ambition and optimism. Everything is possible if we want. These three principles can make our dreams come true. You have to be confident, ambitious and diligent. You have to believe that you are the best. Then you can expect you will be at the top soon.
