True Ambition — and False
We have had a much keener look at ourselves and those about us. We have seen that we were prodded by unreasonable fears or anxieties into making a life business of winning fame, money, and what we thought was leadership. So false pride became the reverse side of that ruinous coin marked “Fear.” We simply had to be Number One people to cover up our deep-lying inferiorities.

True ambition is not what we thought it was. True ambition is the profound desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God.
