Being eager to obtain something that will confer distinction, preferment, honour, superiority, fame; just anything that will distinguish you from the ordinary man is a good thing; it is called ambition. However, an inordinate degree of ambition can cause your gain to be your loss, if you allow it to make you lose touch with reality, with your responsibilities as a friend, a brother, a sister, a parent, and above all a human being.
Believe me, I have seen people betray their most precious beliefs to gain relative importance and it usually doesn’t end well. Sometimes you need to understand that you don't have to try too hard to get things that are meant to occur naturally.
Like, why are you in so much hurry when you can take your time and enjoy the ride of life? Can't you see that sometimes that which you think is everything is just nothing but noise, and you wouldn't know how unnecessarily hyped this noise is until you get it, that's when you wish you had settled for something modest; something that will at least make you happy. But it takes common sense to know this.
