Its why we dream up projects and inventions
Its why we compete.
Its why people with money dont stop trying to make more money
Its why the worlds tallest building doesn't stay that way for long.
Its why the length of a country's coastline is negotiable.
Its why world records are hard to break
And why they eventually do get broken.
Winners have it. Losers have it. Quitters had it.
Its why we're never satisfied. And it's why we like it that way.
Without it, history books would be filled with the mundane
Without it possibilities would stay that way
Without it, we'd still be living in the stone age.
It frees us from asking "Why?" and empowers us to ask "Why not?"
It is the root of all progress.
And its why we're the only creatures on the planet
who have a hand in our own evolution.
Long live ambition.
