May your ambitions be defeated || Acharya Prashant, with youth (2013)

Question: Sir, in the beginning you said that when we have plans for future, we get stressed. Don’t you think that in life one should have at least one ambition to follow so that at any time in future if one is going on the wrong path or out of the way, then one has that ambition in his subconscious mind to keep one on that way only, the way that one needs to follow to get that ambition?

Speaker: We all have ambitions. An ambition is the plan for future, a desire for future. Right? What was your ambition when you were four years old? What did you want to become when you were four years old?

Listener 1: I wanted to become a detective.

Speaker: Detective. A Sherlock Holmes or a Karamchand.

*(Addressing one of the listeners sitting in the audience)*Yes, what did you want to become?

Listener 2: I wanted to become a doctor.

Listener 3: I wanted to grow older.
