"Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings" - Salvador Dali. This means that you can have it all but if you don't have a drive for greatness, you're useless. You can have all the football talent and knowledge in the world but if you don't work hard, it's useless. I agree with this quote because I have seen it play out in real life. This can be seen in "Roughing It" - by Mark Twain. "He dragged himself on his hands and knee (for one leg was broken) to a station several miles away. He did it during portions of two nights..." If this man hadn't had ambition, he would've most likely died. "There was no idling-time for a pony-rider on duty. He rode fifty miles without stopping." Also if the pony rider doesn't have ambition, he wont get the job done.

Good Job using examples and especially backing up your points with evidence. Sentences are also well written as I cant seem to catch on to errors. Did pretty good with using first person, and putting your opinion into it. Your 3 points are pretty solid, as you used good quotes from the book. This is a well structured paragraph, and also well explained; although its pretty shocking coming from you. - Alan
