I’d take ambition motivated by passion, not by greed. Wanna be the best concert violinist in the world and put Itzhak Perlman to shame? Absolutely. Want to change the scientific world like Curie, Faraday? Be my guest. But if your goal is money, market share, or capital, gtfo my face and swipe left
For me, it’s more about competence. I don’t care that much about what you want to do with the skill, but if you’ve dedicated time to become really good at something useful, that’s pretty attractive.
