“When you are up to your neck in alligators, it is hard to remember that your original objective was to drain the swamp.”

Ambitions:
Ambition is the desire to do things, to change things, to explore and learn and seek.Ambition, not personal greed, drove Columbus to cross the Atlantic and Magellan to circle around the world; had they wanted to make money, there were plenty of less risky ways of doing so back at home. Ambition led mankind into space and to the moon and to the exploration of the stars. Ambition led to the invention of theWorldWideWeb and the mapping of the human genome.
