There's a difference in doing things well for the sake of wanting to outshine others and being ambitious. You are only blessed with an ambition if you're passionate and believe in something. So don't belittle someone's ambition thinking that they're showing off yearning for praises or being kiasu. Everyone has a right to fight for something they believe in--as long as there is no fault in the way they do it . Learn to accept their passion.
