see more at ambition and otherwise thoughts on ambition
- i wouldnt outwardly call myself ambitious, but as someone constantly striving
- we are people who are looking for our life’s work — before we get to our magnus opus is a series of failed pivots
- i’m looking for the thing that will define my career
that day i was walking jainil’s dog with mahesh, he asked me when i felt on top of the world from a career high. honestly, i didnt have anything to say from my internships/job, but the first image that came to mind was when i was hosting events in high school and post-grad: the hackathon i incepted in junior high school, bookbear matchmaking event, picnic. i’m still searching for that high, where i feel like i create something out of nothing and it actually has impact. the scope doesn’t even have to be that big — something like event planning is localized to the people i know.
