We can debate whether ambition is a virtue or a vice.
However, the person, team, institution, or nation with the ambition will beat the ones without. Every time.
Ambition is fuel. It doesn’t ask for permission. It doesn’t wait for you to catch your breath. It doesn’t care about fairness, rest, or balance.
While you may want stability, ambition wants growth.
While you manage, ambition leads.
While you’re resting, ambition is racing.
Ambition has its downsides. Your worth isn’t tied to your ambition. It doesn’t make you a better friend, partner, or human. It can burn you out. It can cost you relationships, sleep, and sanity.
But make no mistake, if there’s a race on, ambition wins every time.
