(The greedy dog will lose his bone.)
There's a difference between ambition and greed.
One can be dissatisfied with one's lot or station in life and work hard to change it, and when one does, they are satisfied. They enjoy the fruits of their labors, and are proud of their accomplishments. It may even prompt the person to set other goals and work hard to achieve them. That is ambition.
Greed can never be satisfied. It is selfish, lazy and destructive. It doesn't leave room for many meaningful relationships, because it is always wanting, always looking for greener pastures.
This week, I'm most grateful that I know the difference.
