Sample answer：

In an age of fierce competition, the characteristic of ambition has been stressed in schools and companies. Personally, I concede that ambition is the source of motivation helps people making progress, while ambition abuse might have negative effects on the society.

Firstly, ambition plays an essential role, because it is the source of driving force for people to achieve success. For example, in order to reach goals, people with ambition are always active, attentive, hard-working and competitive. Therefore, their excellent performance in their fields can be highly expected. On the contrary, the absence of aspiration would weaken people physically and mentally, making them passive, mediocre and lazy. Their willpower will falter; their dreams and visions will fade, let along the success.

There are many virtues of ambition in moderation, including desire, enthusiasm, concentration, dedication, determination and fearlessness. All of these traits can push people’s careers forwards in the right direction. For example, under the stimulation of ambition, employees in a company have definite objectives and plans, as well as devote themselves into work with a sharp focus, which means a higher efficiency and lower mistakes in work. In addition, ambition equips employees with challenging spirit, by which they can courageously face and solve problems and difficult, instead of being defeated and frustrated with small barriers. Moreover, ambition can activate the thinking of people, thus sparking new ideas and inspirational proposals.

However, over ambitiousness might be risky to people’s life. For one thing, it would shape people as workaholics trapped into a work-oriented lifestyle, which means prolonged work hours, frequent extra tasks and meetings, as well as the shortage of time spending on family, leisure, sleep or exercise. For another, ambitious people always set a high-level anticipation about their work performance in minds. As long as their practical achievements are not as good as expected, they would immediately be attacked by negative emotions like depression, anxiety and self doubting. That is to say, the emphasis on ambition would lead to an imbalanced and unhealthy life, physically and mentally.

In conclusion, it is undeniable that people today need ambition for self improvement. However, we should be very circumspect about this personality, because as long as it goes too far, a balanced life might be ruined.
