For such people and many more perhaps not so exceptional, the motto is, “Succeed at all costs but avoid appearing ambitious. ’’
Ambition has been attacked from various angles; its public defenders are few and unimpressive, though they are not extremely unattractive. As a result, the support for ambition as a healthy impulse, a quality to be admired by the young, is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States. This does not mean, however, that people are no longer ambition-driven, but only that, no longer openly honored, ambition has become something smartly concealed.
