In this essay, I shall look at the importance of success to people and at whether ambition is positive or negative.
I think that it is usually beneficial for people to want success in life, mainly because it can encourage them to do things in better ways. If a person wants to be successful at their studies, this desire for success usually has the effect of making them study harder. However, this is not always true. We can see this in IELTS, where some students have hired other people to take the test for them. The importance of success has encouraged them to try to cheat. If this is successful, it means that the successful people are not the ones who are the most capable and hard-working. Instead it means that those willing to behave in illegal or immoral ways will succeed. Of course, these people are a small minority, but they cannot be allowed to succeed.
Consequently, we can see that ambition can be a positive characteristic, pushing people to study harder, work harder and create positive relationships with other people. These things push society forward, both economically and socially. However, there have to be rules. These rules need to ensure that people have a fair chance. Some of these rules can be created and enforced by institutions such as universities, when deciding on admissions for example. Others need to be enforced by government. This is why it is so important for governments to deal with corruption. If they do not, the most capable people are unsuccessful, affecting the whole country.
To conclude, I think that it is good for people to want success and have ambition, so long as they do not cheat to succeed.

There is no doubt that people’s aspiration to success is important and it guides people through the process towards their goals. Being ambitious is considered to be the essential quality of successful people. In my point of view,ambition brings about advantages as well as disadvantages in people’s life.
People with strong ambition tend to set high goals in their study or work and devote themselves to achieving these goals. With enthusiasm to their study or work, they are more self-disciplined and self-motivated than those who have less desire for success. When met with hardships, ambitious people show more courage and determination to overcome the barriers, as they cannot put up with failure. In addition, since competition is getting fierce in every aspect of our life, people with highambition are more likely to adapt to the society and defeat their rivals.
However, ambition may cause negative impacts in some circumstances if not handled properly. For instance, it is common that people in big cities are stressed in their work as they fail to strike a balance between work and other parts of life. Many people are over-burdened with tasks, striving for higher salary and promotion. Similarly, sense of competition is a double-edged sword. Some people are so eager for personal success that their behavior may jeopardize other people’s interest. As a result, their relationship with colleagues becomes tense, which is harmful to their career development in the long term.
To sum up, ambition gives people an advantage in terms of coping with challengers on their way to towards success, but people should also be aware of the negative effects of being over-ambitious. The key is to realistic ideals and work step by step to realize them.
