Ambition, for my money, is an underrated virtue. Now, there is negative ambition: to get ahead in the world using others as stepping stones, desiring to take over the world, to dominate others and deprive them of their freedom, or to advance Satan's cause.
Positive ambition is the desire to maverize, to serve God, to expand the sphere of God's influence, to become a better person, or grow to be a great soul. These kinds of ambition are desirable, even the duty of the active, developing individual as she lives and loves living, seeks after knowledge, understanding, skill and excellence.
