A person's ambition should be lofty, admire sages, cut off lust, and not stick to things, so that sages' ambition can be preserved high, they can feel sincere and flexible, abandon trivial things, consult and learn from others extensively, and get rid of narrowness and meanness. What harm will it do to their own good interests even if they don't improve? Why worry that the ideal will not come true? If your will is not firm and your spirit is not high, you will follow the crowd in vain, indulge in custom affairs and do nothing, and you will continue to hide among ordinary people, and you will eventually be in a humble position.
