Ambition and desire
There are those who desire something fervently. There are others who wish and long for things that to their eyes seem impossible to attain or achieve.
There are other who actually fullfill their wishes and desires.
However, the difference comes upon reaching that point when something is satisfied. For most it is the end of the journey, it is the mountain top.
But there are those, who are never satisfied. Thoses who ambition, whose thirst, hunger and lust are insatiable. Those, upon reaching the summit keep looking for something more.
Wishes and desires are ephimeral. Ambition is ever lasting. We all have unsatisfied wishes or dreams, but not all of us have ambitions. For ambition can never be satisfied since it is always replaced by a newer, higher object.
Therefore, those who wish and desire are ephemeral, and those who ambition are eternal.

The Road Not Taken
The Road Not Taken
Robert L. Frost
(1916?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
