[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4297377, member: 63706"] You remind me of an English teacher I had in highschool, who apparently didn't know what synonyms are. Strive: make great efforts to achieve or obtain something. Is that different than hard work? Ambition: a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. Ambition is necessary in order to strive, is it not? You should have a strong desire to achieve a goal if you hope to strive after it, shouldn't you? These words perfectly capture the essence of what you were saying. Your "clarification" only confirmed that the words I chose fit. I am sorry that you don't like the words, and that you felt like I misrepresented what you said. But, you missed the forest for the trees. I was being encouraging and affirming in my original post. Who gave you the "given path" that you strive hard on? What if you have all the best intentions, devote yourself fully, strive with perfect sincerity, yet never actually accomplish [I]any [/I]good? Are you somehow worth less? I know these are big questions, but it is worth it to find the answers. [/QUOTE]
