“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
— Steve Jobs

Ambition can feel like a risky word.

Say it out loud, and people might smirk.
Say it with confidence, and some may laugh.
They’ll call you unrealistic. Naïve. Arrogant.

But the truth is:
We never know what we’re capable of until we try.
And we’ll never stretch far enough unless we give ourselves permission to aim high — wildly high.

Ambition Doesn’t Expire

There is no age limit for ambition.
You can be ambitious when you’re 15.
You can still be ambitious when you’re 55 — or 85.
