How Ambition Can Benefit Wellbeing

Is it possible to balance academic ambition, hard work and pressure with wellbeing and a healthy life balance?
I believe so.
In fact, I believe they are interconnected in a positive way, as opposed to one being at the expense of the other.
Understandably and importantly, there are more societal messages taking a 'softer' approach to results, academic pressure and work in general.
But, in trying to protect teens from stress and the potential negative consequences on their mental health, we might also be inadvertently risking them missing out on the resilience, confidence and pride that also come from pursuing their academic goals, experiencing periods of hard work, pressure and manageable stress.
