Ambition that directs your talent towards the right goals is essential to success. George Washington was a gifted military commander who took it upon himself to lead the Continental Army to victory. Washington had no natural charisma; he was not a natural leader like his mentor, Patrick Henry. Washington's ambition steered his talents in the right direction and led him to victory in the War of Independence. In turn, Washington's success as a leader inspired many Americans to fight for their rights as well. George Washington learned early on that ambition can help make dreams come true. Blind ambition can lead you down the wrong path if you don't know what you are doing. Many people with great potential will spend a lifetime pursuing their dreams without realising their full potential. Many people have good intentions when they embark on an ambitious journey, but lack the knowledge or discipline to succeed. Someone may have an impressive list of achievements, but that doesn't make them a success if they don't apply those gifts in the right way. A talented person can ruin their gifts by being unambitious and careless about their successes.
