Nothing is a bigger turn off than someone who has no ambitions and isn't ready to build a business/being own boss.
Just my type.

@Philth ambition is more than work, its a way of life.

@Philth that was very specific... who hurt you?

@Philth ambition does not equate to what you've preconceived, ambition comes in many forms.

@SW-User loving the response. You're suggesting there's something wrong with me, that I'm damaged, simply because I've offered a conflicting opinion to your own. Nice move.
As a species we're the most destructive of all on this planet. The world doesn't need more ambitious, moneymaking, empire-building, business types. We don't need even more 'unstoppable' people.
The appalling divides between the haves and the have nots, the centuries of armed conflict, the terrifying amount of damage inflicted not only on our own but on numerous other species and ecosystems are surely illustration of that. I'm assuming that you are sufficiently educated to accept that climate change is real and caused by man, right?
The world does not need more ambitious people. It needs more people who are gentle, altruistic, caring, who take pleasure from living modestly with a small footprint.
Stop projecting your own insecurities as alleged weaknesses onto others.

@Philth just being humourous.. Didnt mean any offense.
All I'm saying is you can be ambitious while being gentle, altruistic, caring. Theyre not exclusive of each other.
Not want to work for someone else is not a negative trait the way you've described.
To define my interpretation on ambitious: "having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed."
And i definitely do not believe that climate change is a result of man kind. I believe the world is always changing, and the climate is changing as a natural course.
At the end of the day, the haves and have nots comes down to survival of the fittest.
I came built what i have from the ground up, and I've achieved it through hard work, and a ton of sacrifice, through my own efforts and by the grace of god.
Anyone can have in this world... and as ambitious as i am, i still care (mind blowing), i give to the less fortunate, and provide opportunity to anyone that shows initiative.
This world gives to those that try, its up to you to build that discipline, and have the strong desire to succeed (ambition).

Autistic here, the humour of others is often lost upon me just as much as my own humour is lost upon others.
If you don't believe that the billions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions we create by burning fossil fuels is having some effect upon the environment, I'm afraid that we might be approaching a dead end in conversation.
If you believe that ambition alone is all that's required, then again, ditto. As an autistic I've frequently been told throughout my life how incredibly talented and hard working I am, but I fall at every interview hurdle because I can't do small talk, can't read social cues, answer questions honestly, etc.
If you believe that what divides the haves and have nots is ambition alone, then again, your world view is somewhat curious: Right now there's people shivering in bombed-out homes in shattered countries with broken economies and bought governments, you're saying that their life prospects are just as dependent upon ambition as say, the well-educated child of wealthy, well-connected parents in a stable Western nation?
What if having ambition were all that was required? We'd be without binmen, store workers, factory operatives, healthcare staff... Nobody'd be doing those jobs because they'd all be suited in an executive position or running their own business... HANG ON, who they gonna employ as minions? There aren't any, everyone's risen above the rest!
Sorry buddy but it ain't quite that simple.
