The article highlights the waste of talent in a society where many individuals possess the potential to effect positive change but remain stuck in unfulfilling careers. This misalignment of capability and occupation results in lost opportunities for societal improvement. The author introduces the concept of 'moral ambition'—the drive to use one's career and capabilities to tackle significant global issues, suggesting that one's time is finite and should be spent pursuing meaningful work. It encourages readers to redefine success and embrace a path that contributes to a better world.
Moral ambition is the will to make the world a wildly better place. It is a longing to make a difference and build a meaningful legacy.
You've only got one life. How you spend that time is one of the most important moral decisions of your life.
