Ambition

How different is an ambition from a wish? While we wish for thousands of things everyday, do all of them translate to ambition?

To me when you wish for something the expectation is from external forces like God, parents or in general people around you.  The responsibility to fulfill the wish lies elsewhere.

On the contrary,  an ambition is something you have to work to realise, the onus is primarily on you. Having an ambition in life helps you stay focused. It constantly pushes you to do better. It gives you a sense of responsibility. 

Dreams that translate into ambition are therefore more fruitful than the ones that are mere wishes.
