Man is an ambitious animal. His ambition distinguishes him from other animals, among other things. Man sees dreams and then wants to realize them. Man can also be called a dreaming being. Life is nothing without dreams and ambitions. They led colour, inspiration, and power to our life and activity and are the basis of our cultural, social and scientific developments.

Different people have different ambitions. Some want to become political leaders, others engineer, doctors, business man, managers and millionaires. There are others who want to become writers, musicians, painters, dancers, journalists or photographers. It is good to have ambition and see dreams but they should be realistic and achievable. Making castles in the air is foolish. Ambition beyond one’s reach leads to frustration and regrets. One should be reasonable is one’s ambition as far as possible.

I belong to middle class family and know my limits. I know my aptitude and capacities. I don’t want to become a millionaire or business tycoon. My ambition is very modest, practicable achievable and useful. I want to become Agricultural Research Officer. I also like agriculture and I spend some time in reading books about Agriculture.

After BSc (Hons) I have applied in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service commission and now I am waiting for initial ability test. This time I will do my best to achieve my ambition. Serving for country and becoming Agriculture officer is specialized job and everyone cannot be a good and successful Agricultural officer. A greedy , overambitious, overbearing and lacking good moral character should never think of becoming Agriculture Officer. I have thought over the matter long deep and then decided to become Agriculture Officer.
