What is Ambition?

Moderation is the feebleness and sloth of the soul, whereas ambition is the warmth and activity of it. - Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Ambition is the pursuit of achievement. Whether that ambition is moral or not depends on the goal of the achievement. The ambition of the rebel whose goal is the domination of other people, is immoral; the parents goal to improve their home is moral.
