Quote of the Day (Kenneth Branagh, on the Positive Side of Ambition)
“Ambition can give us a sense of purpose, meaning
and determination. And I think that ambition need not be ruthless. Ambition
begets adventure, a process that teaches us that the journey is potentially
more enjoyable than the arrival. Ambition has given me tremendous energy and a
way of looking at the world. What I’ve learned about ambition is to share it,
that it need not always be about you, that it works best quietly but insistently
and can indeed be healthy.” —Actor-director (Henry V, Cinderella) Kenneth Branagh quoted in “Soapbox: The Columnists, WSJ. Asks Six Luminaries to Weigh in on a Single Topic. This Month: Ambition,” WSJ.com, March 2015 issue
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
