Ambition is bad
A goal for us American people is to succeed. To be rich like Tom Cruise,
and succeed like
Michael Phelps. And to be respected by our peers. But this one of Americas
greatest
Deficiencies.
Now why? Why is being rich like Tom Cruise bad, or being super
successful like Michael
Philips 28 Olympic medalist bad. Well, looking at it like that sounds pretty
amazing, But you
Must look at it as, How Lance Arm Strong, Once The greatest cyclist; and
broke the tour de
France record 7 consecutive times. He even had his own branding, live
strong. But what he did
Was very unforgivable. Everyone loved him and was very inspired. But to get
to that those
Broken records he cheated. He had abused steroids, and had even come out
saying he abused it
On CNN, Armstrong admitted using testosterone and human growth
hormone, as well as Epo-
A hormone naturally produced by human kidneys to stimulate red blood cell
production. CNN.
So, why did Lance cheat? He cheated cause everything on the line. Which
made him lose
Everything, and banned him for life on cycling.
So yes, Ambition is negative. A negative trait that people have been
trying to teach to
You for years. Even the great play writer, William Shakespeare has been
trying to warn you. And
If your confused right now, the play that warns us is called Macbeth. In this
play Macbeth,
Macbeth is loyal, and a good man who ruled for his king, Duncan. And was a

Feared, and respected. After coming back from war these wicked witches
had spawned him and his friend Banquo there to talk. And in this talk they
said Macbeth will be king, and Banquos
Sons will be king, thus shalt get kings, though thou be more. So all hail
Macbeth and
Banquo. MACBETH. The witches had also given Macbeth a contradictory
riddle, not so
Happy, yet much happier. MACBETH. Since the witches had told only been
telling Macbeth and
Banquo short versions of their future Macbeth started getting impatient and
mad, cause he
Wanted to know more about hi getting king. Since the witches vanished early
Macbeth went
Home and talked to his wife. The wife had convinced Macbeth into killing the
king, so they
Both could live in royalty and happiness, was the hope drunk where in you
dressed yourself?

Hot it slept since? And wakes it now to look so green and pale at what it did
so freely? From
This time such I account thy Ove. Art thou a feared to be the same in thine
own act to valor as?
Thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that which thou esteems the ornament
of life, and live a
Coward in thine own esteem, letting I dare not wait upon I would, like
the poor cat I the
Adage? MACBETH. In the piece of evidence from Macbeth Macbeths wife is
calling Macbeth a
Coward and pretty much be a man and to kill the king. The ambition from
Lady Macbeth just
There is horrendous.

Friend Phineas. In the novel, a separate peace, by John Knowles, Gene
was very jealous of
Phineas, a star athlete who got away with everything. And gene, scrawny
semi athletic smart
Boy. In chapter 2, page, 30 Gene was very jealous of Phineas, a star athlete
who got away with
Everything. And Gene, this time he wasnt going to get away with it. I
could feel myself
Becoming UN expectedly excited at that. JOHN KNOWLS. Now what a bad
friend, a friend who
Wants his best friend to get in trouble. Could have been so avoided,

His friend in the situation. But chose to be ambitious with his choice.
Famous athlete Maria Sharapova. Caught doping and failed her drug
test and admitted to failing at Australian open. She has been professionally
playing tennis since 1991, and who knows how long she has been doping. It
obvious in the interview that she was doing to play better, and recover
faster. I needed the extra boost. MARIA. They dont know how long shes
been doing it, but she is banned from playing. Now could this have been
avoided, extremely? If she just put in the extra hard work instead of cheating
cause it was easier.

California, body builder,
And actor. Hess been very successful and became very famous. But even
Arnold abused Steroids
As a body builder. And had even admitted to it on ABCW news interview. And

No regrets, I have no regrets about it, because at the time, it was
something new that came
Out on the market, and we went to the doctor and did it under doctors
supervision. We were
Experimenting with it.ARNOLD. Is he a bad guy? Yes, his ambition to get
stronger faster was.
He wanted to get buff fast, no glow so he had used a performance drug to
achieve it.

In conclusion, All of these ambitious athletes, and books, and plays
perfectly conceal the
Evidence that ambition is dangerous. It is dangerous because you want
something so bad it turns
From want, to must. Ambition is a negative trait to conceal.
