Ambition.

Why is it that to be ambitious and successful is considered with negative connotations in our society? I find this very interesting. I was just looking up a motivational quote for something I am writing, and I saw "Ambition" as a sub-heading. I thought "Excellent, surely this will have something inspirational I can use..." But to my dismay, I found only dishartening comments on ambition. Surely Ambition is something we should nurture to grow as a person? Is Ambition not what we use to make us successful human beings? Sure, too much ambition is probably a bad thing, just like too much of any quality of human existence. It's all a balance. I consider myself an ambitious person, with dreams and goals of what I want to achieve. Without these, I am not sure I would even have achieved what I have done so far in my life. So in a nutshell... I am not afraid of ambition, in fact, I nurture it.
