And then just when I thought I would go insane with frustrated egoism I get this: "True ambition is not what we thought it was. True ambition is the deep desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of god."
Mr. Webster notes that the concept of ambition has connotations that are both favorable and unfavorable. I like Mr. Webster's definition better than Bill W's, I think. I want to achieve fame, power, wealth, etc. Wealth, god, yes, wealth. The idea of a deep desire to be useful and humble is not really computing right now.
