The nature of ambition

The surety that you can do it. The faith that no one can do it better. Never ever being satisfied. Never being ashamed to fail. A willingness to learn. Cussedness. Discontentment. Seeking, seeking, seeking. The lack of a finish line. The belief that there is more to life than what is. Zeal. Fearlessness. Boldness, not necessarily loudness.The pursuit of everlasting.

Ambition is a good word.
