“Ambition can creep as well as soar”
— Edmund Burke

Simplified Meaning:
Ambition isn't always about big, dramatic moves; sometimes it's about taking small, steady steps towards your goal. Think about climbing a mountain. Some people may take giant leaps, but many more will take it one step at a time, trusting that every small effort brings them closer to the top. Just like the mountain climber, you don't always have to make a huge splash to achieve your dreams—small, consistent actions can also lead to big results. For example, a student studying a little bit every day for months will likely do just as well, if not better, on a big exam than someone who tries to cram all at once. This means that if you stay patient and keep moving forward, even at a slow pace, you can still reach your goals.
