"You don't need to be rich to have a rich life." (Rachael Ray, her mother taught her this saying) ---sometimes persons who do become materially rich testify to the fact that this kind of wealth does not enrich the heart. I remember being on a panel of pastors discussing various aspect of ministry. Someone asked a question that I responded to and talked about quality ministry not being dependent upon "climbing the ladder". One of the ministers in the audience said I could say that when I was in one of the "larger" churches. I have remembered that. I understand how he felt, but I also know it is all relative. He would not have understood if I told him some of my greatest moments had been those in small churches sitting around the table visiting and sharing the stories of a family.  ambition and working to excel are important factors in succeeding in life—as long as we remember that these are not the whole of life value and meaning.
