motivation

I have been busy reading THREE Musketeers. I HAVE READ THE ABRIDGED VERSION WHEN I WAS SMALL.some how i never liked stories written from a french backgroud. it was difficult for me to fathom their culture and those names seemed so strange.After my visit to France i think i am more at ease with them.Anyways. this great book had me seated till its end. i have lost the sense of place and time. i'm still in that era which seems each day was an aventure.but still i could not miss the poverty, reslesness, unemployment of that era..which makes me to think world has not changed much since. :-)
but i doubt if men would go to such extremes for a womens love???in this era i meant. love also has become a conveinent mode product..there might be exception. but i am sure the general trend is not in favour of love. but in that man has lost his deep reverence for god, king or women :-) .What is the motive that drive our youth today? What is it that they look upon in life. i am not talking abt the extremists. i am just pondering or wondering about the general people. or all thru history the general people just flew with life? i have never met a person with a extraordinary ambition. everyone strives to do bit better in life. get a good position bit of more money and a retirement plan. thats the end of it. but what do i expect? that all men invent something? conquer the world? run around wild???

i have a week end to look forward to. i hope i relish the seconds before i let it pass thru me.

i would love if u could share ur ambitions.
