Ambition: Where Does it Stop?

To follow desire is to wander from death to death. But not having ambition is akin to not being alive at all. Isn't ambition one of the most important factors that have made individuals as great as we know them today?Had it not been for ambition and hard work, would Napoleon ever have been considered as an emperor in history? As a matter of fact would India have had industry giants like Tatas or Birlas? But how many of us have ever asked these pertinent questions before starting on the quest to achieve our goal? Are you willing to wreck a friend's career to rise up the office hierarchy? Would you tell your boss what your friend confided in you about his manner of functioning? Would you break friendships, chalk out cunning strategies to achieve upward mobility? Would you steal someone's ideas and present them as your own to your boss to score a few brownie points? Are you willing to ignore your former friends just to rub shoulders with people who matter the most at your workplace? How much are you willing to please your boss just to sit on that exalted chair or to get a phenomenal pay rise, the next month?Do we ever think of all these questions before indulging ourselves at other people's expense? For people who believe that means always justify the end, it is always lonely on the top.
