Describe an ambition that you have had for a long time

I have always liked life by the sea. Despite how dangerous it can be at certain times of the year, living near the sea is the best option in life.

That is why I want to buy a piece of land I already found on the seashore and build a hotel with ecological cabins.

Ecological tourism has proliferated here recently, so I want to take advantage of that trend and have a lodging place where tourists can interact and get to know each other, with common spaces and activities organized for everyone to coexist in harmony.

I want to place a gazebo in the center of the area with many wooden tables and a small stage where I can invite local and alternative musicians to contribute to the economy of the place.

Also, I will install a kitchen where tourists can cook. There will also be the option of a menu at a certain time of day and during the weekends.

The cabins will be made with wood, and in some, I will put bunk beds so that tourists who want a cheaper option can stay in shared accommodation, and for couples who want privacy there will be cabins for individual accommodation.

I have had this idea for a large part of my life, since in my childhood when we went on family vacations to one of the most beautiful beaches in my country.

Sometimes we camped, and other times we stayed in hotels by the sea. Whichever it was, those family outings created my enormous desire to live by the sea one day, and then I formed the idea of ​​a hotel with ecological cabins.

To achieve this, I will sell a house I inherited from my father and partner with my brother, who also shares my plan.

We have both thought about investing in this idea and will soon buy the land we have already chosen.



Describe an ambition that you haven't achieved yet

There are a lot of things that I want to do in life, but there are some ambitions that I haven't achieved yet. One of these is to become a professional writer. It's something that I've always been interested in, but I haven't had the opportunity to pursue it as a career.

Another ambition is to travel the world. I haven't been able to do this yet because of financial constraints, but I hope to be able to do it someday. There are also a lot of personal goals that I have yet to achieve, such as becoming more organized and learning how to cook. But even though I haven't accomplished all of my ambitions yet, I'm still working towards them and I'm confident that I'll eventually achieve them.

My biggest ambition is to become a professional writer. It's something that I've always been interested in, but I haven't had the opportunity to pursue it as a career. I'm constantly writing in my spare time, and I hope to someday be able to make a living off of it.

One of my biggest goals right now is to get published. I've been writing for years, but I've never dared to submit anything for publication. I'm currently working on a novel, and I'm hoping to have it finished soon so that I can start the process of trying to get it published. It's a lot of work, but it's something that I'm passionate about and I'm determined to see it through.

Once I achieve this ambition, I hope to be able to move on to other writing projects. I have a lot of ideas for stories that I want to tell, and I can't wait to get started on them. There's so much potential in writing, and I feel like it's something that I was meant to do. I'm excited to see where my career takes me, and I hope that someday I'll be able to look back on all of this and say that it was all worth it.



Describe an ambition you have for the future

I have always been a very ambitious person, and I have always had big plans for my future. One of my biggest ambitions is to start my own business. I have always been very entrepreneurial, and I have always loved the idea of being my own boss. I know that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to make a business successful, but I am willing to put in the effort to make my dream a reality.

I would love to start a business in the fashion industry. I have always been interested in fashion and I have a strong sense of style. I think it would be really fun to own my clothing boutique or fashion line. I know that the fashion industry is very competitive, but I am confident that I have what it takes to be successful.

There are a few key ingredients that I think are necessary for a successful business. First, you need to have a great product or service that people will want to buy. Secondly, you need to have a good marketing strategy to get the word out about your business. And finally, you need to be able to manage your finances well so that you can keep your business afloat.

I will need to continue to learn about the fashion industry and keep up with the latest trends. I will also need to network with people in the industry and build strong relationships. And finally, I will need to always be on the lookout for new opportunities to grow my business.
