Sounds good but it doesn't work like that.  People with new money (what they "made") attribute an irrational (mythical) importance to it way beyond its actual merits, and they'll  treat it as such. Takes at least three generations  to overcome that nouveau riche taboo.

  What are your greatest ambitions? 

 

Create something original.

 Why?

"Do you think excessive ambition is an admirable quality?"
It's usually delusional.

 What about when it's not?  Or when it succeeds, despite being delusional?

I find it difficult to believe that that's the official definition. 

I have a good number of those. I've been working my ass off at them for years. Yet the people around me describe me as "lacking ambition."

I guess it's just as I've always suspected. Most of the people around me are either crazy or stupid. lol

"Do you think you have more or less than the average person?"
Less, I have to usually push myself to do stuff.

"Do you think excessive ambition is an admirable quality?"
It's usually delusional.

I think ambition is a combination of having goals outside of the mainstream path that most people lumber down their entire lives, and the passion and drive towards achieving them.  If your goals are typical and entirely reasonable, and you have an average or below average level of drive towards them, then you'd be described as unambitious.

Ambition is an attractive quality in a partner. They make the money and I spend it. Sounds good to me.

 So, your ambition is to be a parasite...

 

Well I was kind of joking around lol. I make enough money to be satisfied but there are things I would never be able to achieve single and on my salary. (i.e a very big home)

If I wanted to be a parasite I've had a good opportunity or two to do so but I didn't pounce on them because I am not interested in being a 24/7, 365 leech. It sounds exhausting.

Oh, for sure. It's very exhausting being able to wake up when you want, do what you want, go to sleep when you want and not have to work. Very...

I'm exhausted every day.
