		<description>Hi there Hsmade,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As with everything else in life, it&#039; all about perspective. You say ambition is worthless, but I say that it is the force that drives us to become better than what we are.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Like all things, ambition can be both a positive and negative force, which depends on the intent of the person in question.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yes every day can be our last, but the reality is it probably won&#039;t, and so we have the ability to choose what we will do with the time we have. Without any ambition we would simply do nothing, and live a life devoid of any satisfaction and meaning.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The desire to be better today than we were yesterday is ambition in its simplest form, and the way in which we acheive those things we most want.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;How can that be a bad thing?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Padwanna!</description>

<p>How can that be a bad thing?</p>

		<description>Hi Anon,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Well concerning the book, I have the reference pictures from London courtesy of one of my friends living over there. I&#039;ve worked out the story line which has been developed using index cards, and so all that needs to be done is me sitting down and actually putting words onto the computer.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;On the movie script, that is about 1/4 done, and needs me to keep working it at. Which I need to make a plan to sit down and finish. At a rough guess, I&#039;d say it needs about 100 hours work to complete it.</description>

		<description>Hey man,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;what is this thing about ambition? It&#039;s worthless I think. I think your personal life is the most important thing and work is just for supporting this personal life. Not the other way around. And time pressure.. well I&#039;m not quite 37 yet, but I think that if you start to think like that, you&#039;ll never enjoy life any more. I think that every day of your life can be the last one, so you better enjoy it!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;HSmade</description>

		<description>He Padwanna,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I guess you forgot one of your ambitions, love seems to cloud our minds. I am still waiting for your book to come out or one off your movie scripts, how are they coming along? It seems that you are a great puzzler, knowing who i am just by two recolactions ( is that how you pronounce it? ) I did not even tell you about all my proffesions because then i would make it to easy for you. I dare you to tell me my name if you are right, i&#039;ll come clean. Enjoy you&#039;re love because like you said it can be over soon, allthough you can alsso make itlast longer. Bye Pippi</description>
