According to the Webster’s Universal dictionary, Potential is defined as ‘the unrealized ability to do something’; while Ambition is defined as ‘desire for power, wealth, and successes’; and also, Circumstances is defined as ‘the state of affairs, condition in life’.
With these matters in mind, we can come up with the future. Ambitions in life lead to the discovery of new Potentials. But Circumstances in life, on the other hand, limit the discovery of these new Potentials. And, overall, ambitions are factors that greatly contribute to what comprises our future; for these are the causes that drive as into making certain decisions in the days yet to come.
Though I have not come across ‘great success’ yet, and I have not unraveled most of my potentials yet, and immense circumstances have not yet fully penetrated the ‘potentials’ that are hither to arriving, I still believe what I have just expressed. Obviously, I am still young and I have not been exposed to the world enough yet. I have not fully realized the glory and grandeur of the society, and furthermore, of this community I am in. Despite those facts, we can see that reality in our everyday lives.
Our position in society has a great impact on circumstances. Ambitions may too be affected.
If we are not educated with how wide-scoped the world is and how many possibilities there are, our ambitions would be lesser and lower. But if we do know the way around the world and its countless probabilities, though we are less fortunate compared to the others, we can make it. We would be able to realize our potentials and use them in such a way that we would be able to strive across poverty and its creeping branches.
Then again, it is up to us—to the person—to find ways that would lead to opportunities and chances. It is up to us to find the means. It is up to us to come up with the correct contraptions that would break us away from the drought and the famine; to find the oasis leading to better grazing lands and pastures.
