adapted excerpt from To Be Famous We Must Be Ambitious
by Rosetta Dunigan

Much of the advancement of the world can be traced to the efforts of those who were moved by ambition to become famous. However, be forewarned: ambition is like fire. It is an excellent servant, but a poor master. Used for the wrong ends, it may burn and destroy. As long as it is used strictly in service of integrity, honor, and justice, there is but little danger in having too much ambition.

Which uses of the excerpt are acceptable and which are not?

Ambition can be “an excellent
servant, but a poor master” in life.
As long as it is used strictly in
service of integrity, honor, and
justice, there is but little danger
in having too much ambition.
If ambition is “used for the wrong
ends,” such as pride or greed, it
may “burn and destroy” those
around it “like fire” (Dunigan).
Ambition is a useful and good
quality when applied to valuable
goals, but if it is used for the
wrong purposes, it can be very
problematic (Dunigan).
