How to treat a man with ambition but no strength?

Ambition is a double-edged sword. A man without ambition is no different from a salted fish. Too much ambition will lead to pain, but if it is only in line with your own strength, there will be no ambition. There seems to be no solution, but there is actually one of the most critical factors: mentality. People with good mentality will aim at ambition and then improve their strength step by step. People with bad mentality will be eager for quick success or detour or fall into the abyss of desire. And then rise to the philosophical level. Do you think an ambitious, powerful and accomplished person will be happy? Not necessarily. Ambition or desire is endless, and it is impossible to regard it as the source of happiness. The sense of happiness gained after certain achievements is time-sensitive. If your ambition now is to start a company, you will be happy for a few days and months when you really start a company, but once you get used to this state, your happiness will dissipate, so you have greater ambition and want to make the company bigger and go public. So at that time, Ma Yun said that the most regrettable thing was the creation of Alibaba, which was actually understandable. If you compare Ma Yun to a truly enlightened monk, the only difference may lie in social evaluation. Everyone envies Ma Yun but not the monk, but if the heart is strong enough, the secular evaluation has no effect on my happiness. Take my career as an example. There are many people who come into contact with the so-called top class of society, but struggle to live because of some emotional problems. Whether such a person is defined as happy or unhappy, do you envy or not? Of course, I'm not suggesting that everyone become a monk. The birth pursued by Buddhists is too extreme for ordinary people. Ordinary people can't do it, and there is no need to completely eliminate desire.
