Goal/Ambitions/Dream

Become successful

The price of success is hard work, dedication to work, and determination of whether we win or lose, we have mobilized our best abilities for the job – Vince Lombardi

Everyone in this world works hard all their lives to reach a state called “ success “. Then what is called success itself ? , I think success is the achievement of a goal or hope that I have been working hard, never give up, or more simply the success of a person in realizing his dream. That is success, a goal and ambition of my life. Therefore, for the next 5 years, I must be able to work hard in achieving that success. Although my goals and ambitions may be too high but there is no harm in dreaming first, as my English lecturer once said “ Dreaming is free” 😂 

And another goal in my life is to make my family happy with the success I’m striving for right now, because it is they who have been providing support so that I can be a useful persone later on.

And that is all the dream, goals and ambitions of my life, hopefully what I dream of this can become a reality in the future.

Thank you very much 😊
