The great French military leader Napoleon Bonaparte is quoted as saying, “Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts” (“Ambition Quotes”). Ambition can be seen as both good and bad motivation through the way ambitious people treat others in acquiring their success. People such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffet acquired there wealth by working their way up the financial ladder to become the richest men in America.

In another interview, he stated his investors had themselves to blame because they were smart, savvy investors (Saulny, 2015). Sadly, Madoff’s lack of value, ethics, and poor judgement has led to him spending a 150 year sentence in federal prison for the $17 billion investment fraud (Eustachewich, 2015).…
