Ambition is fundamentally a positive trait because it reflects self-belief, self-love, and the conviction that one's efforts can create value for others, yet modern culture teaches shame about ambition and striving.

Robert GreeneEvidence Quote
“I've tried to remove the kind of taboo or the negative associations we have with a word like power or with the word ambition... ambition is a good thing... But so many people are just kind of embarrassed about being a human being, embarrassed about our primate nature, embarrassed about our own aggressive impulses.”
