I had so much ambition and determination that…that it became a bad thing — like a turn off.

This side also gives us the courage to always try our hardest at everything. But there is also a bad side. This side leads to greed and the unhealthy desire for power. This side can destroy us and make us into a person that we are not. Many a person has gotten what they wanted through ambition but the consequences made the prize not even worth it.
