9/26 Ambition

Ambition is defined as an eager or strong desire to achieve something. However, it's a quality we applaud or abhor in people. Depending on your age, gender or socio-economic status, ambition can be a good or bad thing.

According to one of our guests this hour, ambition is the inner drive that pushes someone to achieve and is essential to leadership. As history has shown us too much ambition can bring harm to others; not enough can result in a lonely existence and people not reaching their potential.

What the world needs now is more ambition tempered by altruism. - Bernie
