Can You Ever Be Too Ambitious

In my opinion, people can sometimes be too ambitious. In today’s society, competition is very fierce. Thus being successful is very important to many. However, this success can lead to overwhelming greed or ambition. Once people tasted the sweetness of victory, they tend to yearn for more and to want to achieve something even more advanced. One example is Napoleon’s loss of power. Initially, Napoleon is successful at gaining power over a few countries. However, he became too confident. He became too ambitious and tried to take over too many countries than he could handle. In the end, his people revolted against him and he spent the rest of his life in isolation. I think there are many failures, like the example of Napoleon, which resulted from being overly ambitious. Of course a little ambition is needed to achieve success. Nevertheless, if someone could not handle fame and praise well, they can become too confident and then lead to the state when they develop too much ambition. This is usually when bad decisions are made about actions that are often out of their lead. In conclusion, too much ambition can lead to failures.
