PASSAGE-III
This rule of always trying to do things as well as one can do them has an important bearing upon the problem of ambition. No man or woman should be without ambition, which is the inspiration of activity. But if one allows ambition to drive one to attempt things which are beyond one's own personal capacity, then unhappiness will result. If one imagines that one can do everything better than other people, then envy and jealousy, those twin monsters, will come to sadden one's days. But if one concentrates one's attention upon developing one's own special capacities, the things one is best at, then one does not worry over much if other people are more successful.
The statement 'if one allows ambition to drive one to attempt things which are beyond one's own personal capacity, then unhappiness will result,' means that :

A

1. One must always try to do less than one's capacity.

B

2. One must always try to do more than one's capacity.

C

3. Ambition must be consistent with one's capacity.

D

4. There should be no ambition at all.
