Gah. Going in a bit of grammar and word choice. >_< Is this sentence refering to something specific or general? If it specific, it needs to be 'an aspiration.' If it's general, it should probably be replaced with 'goal' or 'ambition'. Aspiration isn't really used that way. Well, I suppose you could say something like 'You lack aspirations for the future.' But thats plural. Gah. Hard to explain. --[[User:Macavity|Macavity]] 03:45, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
