Ambition 抱负
It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition(野心，抱负) . It would probably be a kinder world: without demands, without abrasions(擦伤，磨损) , without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity(集体，集体主义) . Competition would never enter in. Conflict would be eliminated, tension become a thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory(快乐的) in its functions. Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous(吵闹的，骚乱的) endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart.
Ah, how unrelieved(未减轻的，无变化的) boring life would be!
There is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham(假装，骗子) . Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events now not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming(尊重，尊敬) , nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is something one soon enough learns on one’s own. But even the most cynical secretly admit that success exists; that achievement counts for a great deal; and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging(扰乱，使错乱) . It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for competence, interest in attainment(成就，学识) , and regard for posterity(子孙，后代) .
We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch(新纪元，新时代) , the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing(教养，养育) . We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death. But within all this realm(领域，范围) of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live: courageously or in cowardice(怯懦，胆小) , honorably or dishonorably, with purpose or in drift. We decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.

Luck hat 幸运帽
Dear Arizona,
My brother is so lucky. Good stuff is always happening to him. Do you believe in luck? And if so, how can I get more of it?
—Looking for luck in Louisiana(路易斯安那州)
Dear Looking,
I was eating breakfast with one hand, petting my cat, Cow, with the other, and reading the back of the cereal(谷类食品) box, when—"YOUCH!" I screamed. "Why'd you pinch me?"
"You're not wearing green," said my little brother, Tex. "Everyone knows you get pinched if you don't wear green on Saint Patrick's Day!"
"It's true," said my little sister, Indi.
I was mostly mad about getting pinched, but also a tiny bit glad about being reminded that it was Saint Patrick's Day.
I panicked(恐慌) . "What am I going to do? I don't have time to change. I'll get pinched all day long!"
"Well," Tex said, taking the old green baseball cap off his head, "you could borrow my lucky hat."
"But it's your favorite!" I said.
"I know," said Tex. "Just promise to give it back after school."
"No problem," I said, glancing in the mirror on my way out the door. "I look like a goofball(傻瓜，镇静剂) in this thing!"
"A lucky goofball!" said Tex.
"Humm." I grabbed my backpack. "Thanks, I think."
Now, before I go on, you should know that I'm not an overly superstitious(迷信的) person. I don't believe that thirteen is an unlucky number or that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck.
I definitely don't freak out(崩溃) if a black cat crosses my path. And when it comes to things like lucky four-leaf clovers(幸运草，三叶草) and lucky pennies, I just never believed in them.
Anyway, I was racing to catch the school bus, and I saw a dollar on the sidewalk(人行道) ! I looked around to see if anyone was looking for it, but people just kept stepping on the poor thing, so I decided to rescue it. I'd found pennies and nickels(镍币) before, but never a dollar!
Then, I didn't miss the bus, because the bus was even later than me——which never happens!
My luck didn't stop there. Carlos and Jackson were sitting behind me, quizzing each other on spelling words. I turned around and said, "You guys know that test isn't till tomorrow, right?"
"It got switched to this morning," said Jackson. "Remember? There's some assembly tomorrow."
"That's right-I totally forgot!" I said. "I'm so lucky that I sat in front of you. If I hadn't , I wouldn't have found out till it was too late!"
I got out my spelling words, studied all the way to school. And ended up acing the test!
The minute I got home, I gave Tex a gigantic hug.
"This is the luckiest hat in the world," I said. "I'm never taking it off!"
"But you promised to give it back!" said Tex.
"I know, but…" I pretended to try to pull the hat off my head. "I think it's stuck."
"It is not!" said Tex.
"Please-oh-please let me borrow your lucky hat for one more day!" I begged. "Tomorrow I'm auditioning for(面试，试演) the school play, and I need every bit of help I can get."
"OK," said Tex. "One more day. But you'd better be really nice to me."
"I will," I agreed. "In fact-here you can have my lucky dollar!"
Tex let out a whoop, then started dancing around and waving his gift in the air.
The next day turned out to be super lucky. My audition couldn't have gone better.
"Wow, Arizona!" said my friend Mareya. "I can't believe how amazingly you just did! You are so getting a major part in this play!"
"Thanks! You did really great, too!" I said. "But honestly, the only reason I did OK is because I had my lucky hat."
"What lucky hat?" asked Mareya.
"This one," I said, reaching into my backpack, where I thought I'd put Tex's hat since I couldn't wear it for the audition. But it wasn't there! "Oh no!" I cried. "It's gone! What am I going to tell Tex?"
Mareya helped me look for it. Luckily, we found Tex's hat in my locker. Also luckily, I discovered that I could be lucky with or without a goofy-looking cap in my possession.
"So it wasn't the hat," said Mareya. "This is just a wild guess, but maybe it was all those hours you spent practicing over the past month."
"Hmm," I said. "It's possible."
