'''Ambition''' is the [[desire]] for [[personal]] achievement. Ambitious persons seek to be the best at what they [[choose]] to do for attainment, [[power]], or superiority. Ambition is also the object of this desire. A poor example of 'Ambition' could be 'to become a Confetti collector'.
People can wield their acquired power in the [[name]] of a vague or clear [[ideal]] or multiple ideals. When ambition is used to seek a clear ideal, it develops a close [[relationship]] to extremism. In the history of human kind many examples can be found of people who were extremely ambitious, for better and for worse. The notorious Greek [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herostratus Herostratus] had the ambition to become famous by destroying the T[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Artemis emple of Artemis].
