Yes, ambition can make you more successful. It can also make you happier
Briefly

In the modern work landscape, ambition is especially important. Recently, new emphasis has been called to issues such as workplace well-being and work life balance. These are critical, but they are not in opposition to ambition.
Interestingly, only 4% of people say that ambition means a desire to be better than others. In fact, the majority of people-53%-believe ambition is about a desire for achievement and distinction, and 43% believe it's about a drive to develop and grow.
Bottom line: Embrace your ambition for growth, development, and achievement-but be sure you're still cooperative and a good team player in the process.
Ambition affects your thinking process and your actions-and these in turn affect what you're able to achieve. In particular, when you're ambitious, you'll tend to set bigger goals and more important objectives.
