Ambition places itself as the starting point where every one of us develops a passionate drive to embark on our own journeys, opening up the AMAZING opportunity for SELF DISCOVERY within ourselves. of us carries forth dreams and hopes of the greatness we seek to achieve, which can be borne into ambitions if we put in the CONFIDENCE, DETERMINATION, and EFFORT to turn them into realities!
Ambition in its Many Forms Not all ambitions are created equal, the bigger the ambition, the greater the sacrifice we have to make to achieve its goal. Ambitions are a very versatile trait that comes in many forms and sizes based on how we envision them to be. As Martha Graham, Founder and Creator of Graham Dance Technique, once said, “Our arms start from the back because they were once wings”, each of us holds the powerful ability to fly our own visionary goals wherever and whenever at our own pace. Just like the following 3 remarkable interviewees who have spoken out on their own aspirations: Fairuz Binte Alam, UNSW Software Engineering Student, who wishes to work at one of the FAANG multinational technology companies. Garvi Poudyal, UNSW Computer Software Engineering Student, who aims to venture into the data and numbers-crunching career pathways, and Viola Llewellyn, Co-Founder of Ovamba Solutions TradeTech Company, who wants to continue soaring her business into great heights as one of the most successful innovators of alternative trade and financial solutions.
