 he Collapse Of Ambition? Comparing Causes in China & The US </a>\nFor gene
 rations\, ambition seemed simple: study hard\, work hard\, earn more\, cli
 mb higher. But is that still the dream? Across the world\, many people are
  questioning traditional definitions of success. Younger generations are c
 hanging jobs more often\, prioritising flexibility\, pursuing passion proj
 ects\, and placing greater value on purpose\, balance\, and mental wellbei
 ng. Are we becoming less ambitious than previous generations—or are we s
 imply ambitious about different things? Hosted by Damon\, a university pro
 fessor in the United States\, this guided discussion will explore how idea
 s of ambition are changing in both China and America. Together\, we'll exa
 mine the role of external forces such as economic uncertainty\, housing co
 sts\, technological disruption\, and AI\, alongside internal shifts in val
 ues\, identity\, and what people want from life. Has the old formula of sa
 crifice today for success tomorrow stopped working\, or have our prioritie
 s evolved? Expect a thoughtful\, open-minded conversation that goes beyond
  easy answers and asks what ambition really means in the modern world. 很
 多年里，“有野心”这件事看起来很简单：好好读书、
 努力工作、赚更多钱、往更高的位置走。但现在，这个
 “标准答案”还成立吗？在世界各地，越来越多人开始
 重新审视“成功”的定义。年轻一代换工作的频率更高
 ，更看重灵活性，会去做一些自己真正感兴趣的项目，
 同时也更在意生活意义、工作与生活的平衡，以及心理
 健康。问题来了：我们是真的比上一代更不“有野心”
 了，还是只是把野心放在了不同的地方？ 这场由美国大
 学教授 Damon 主持的引导式讨论，会从中美两种语境出发
 ，一起聊聊“野心”这件事正在怎么变化。我们会一起
 拆解一些外部因素，比如经济不确定性、房价压力、技
 术变革以及 AI 的影响，同时也会看一些更内在的变化，
 比如价值观、身份认同，以及人们对生活期待的转变。
 过去那种“今天牺牲，换明天成功”的公式是不是已经
 不太灵了，还是说只是我们的优先级变了？这会是一场
 更偏思考型、开放式的对话，没有标准答案，更像是在
 一起重新理解“野心”到底意味着什么。
