雅思写作命题真是越来越无厘头！这次返古走得更远，拿出了5年前(2012年4月12日)的原题！5年前？有些烤鸭说，那时我还不识鸭味！
不过，回头来想，这个题目还真够容易写的了。说起志向，说起抱负，我们哪位烤鸭不是万般情绪涌上心头？若不是为了这出国留学的抱负，谁愿意放弃蓝天白云青草地，花前月下的卿卿我我，在教室、在书房苦逼地背那些枯燥的词汇，读那些天书般的阅读，听那些弱智的对话，写那些无聊的作文？唉，抱负害死人！
当然，话说回来，要不是有那份抱负，我现在英语水平可能还在初段。
所以，终究抱负对我们的成功是非常重要的。不要相信道家说的“无为而治”那一套！“无为而治”说的是人生境界，落实到现实人生中，没有抱负，就没有动力，没有目标，那么我们遇到困难就会退缩。从小处说，我们就不会做好足够准备找到好工作，挣到好收入，就不会实现我们人生的愿望;从大处说，我们就不会对社会做出自己的贡献。所以，有抱负肯定是一件好事，但如果过分看重抱负，不能实现抱负就产生反社会的想法，那么这个抱负就是害人的东西了。所以，人生应该有抱负，但是应该理智地看待抱负。

Around us there are many people who are ambitious and always work hard to
achieve what they want, but there are also many who seem to have nothing to
squeeze out of life. My observation is that people with ambition are more likely
to succeed in life than those without.
To be sure, ambition is like the force driving people to move on toward their
goals. With certain ambition in mind, people will set about making plans, taking
actions and then will persist when they encounter difficulties. My friend John
is a perfect example. Ten years ago, when I first got to know him, he told me he
dreamed of becoming the best photographer in this country. Then he began to
travel to all places in China, no matter how dangerous and remote they are and
just last month he published his first photography book which contains a lot of
fantastic pictures he took. On the other hand, if one does not have ambition,
s/he may simply loaf around without knowing what lies ahead. Indeed, this kind of
life is perhaps not that bad, for it is carefree and less worrying, but it
contributes little to one’s success in life, if success is defined as earning
more money, staying at the top of the social ladder or making more contribution
to the world.
Seen in this light, ambition is undoubtedly something positive and healthy.
But like anything else, ambition may become negative and harmful if it is not
treated properly. I know many ambitious people who end up in prison because they
tried to realize their ambition through illegal means, and I also know a few
people who made suicidal attempts after they failed to achieve their ambition.
So honestly, ambition is like both an angel and a devil. Whether ambition
becomes an angel or a devil depends on how people take it.
