"Ambition can be Zen-like or un-Zen-like. Ambition to live mindfully and succeed ultimately in the present moment is Zen-like. Ambition to get ahead of others, gain more material possessions, and achieve status at the expense of compassion is counterproductive to Zen living."
-Eve Adamson and Gary R. McClain, Ph.D., The Complete Idiot's Guide to Zen Living
