Happy Independence Day America! All, enjoy your 4th of July weekend!

Driven to achieve.........

From the song 'Shoot For The Stars' by Natasha Bedingfield:

Whether I win, whether I lose,
I'd rather jump and fall,
Than never jump at all.
And I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do,
Not gonna taste it, I'm gonna chase it,
I'm gonna face whatever it takes,
I'm gonna be who I wanna be,
And nobody's going to stop me,
I'm free, free, free, free.

"Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more."
- John Lubbock, The Use Of Life

"Boys, be ambitious. Be ambitious not for money, not for selfish aggrandizement, not for the evanescent thing which men call fame. Be ambitious for the attainment of all that a man can be."
- William Clark

"I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere money-making has never been my goal, I had an ambition to build."
- John D. Rockefeller

"I am ambitious. I set goals; not because I am ungrateful for what I have, but because I am happy with who I am. I enjoy the experience of rising above my perceived limitations and discovering new levels of my capabilities."
- Steve Maraboli

"Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential."
- Barack Obama
