Ambition-抱负
It is not difficult to imagine a world short ofambition①. It would probably be a kinder world:without demands,, without abrasions 2,withoutdisappointments③. People would have time forreflection4. Such work as they did would not befor themselves, but for thecollectivity⑤.Competition would never enter in. Conflict ⑥would be eliminated⑦, tension⑧become a thingof the past.
