[quote=Anonymous]Ambition within control is a good thing. Perfectionism out of control is not. Ultimately that type of behavior, when not under control, will lead to burnout. So, the one thing you can do is to talk to him about knowing himself, identifying how much stress and anxiety he is under and learning how to put the brakes on that ambition and reset himself when needed. But, many ambitious people can be very different. He has to find something that he can do, that typically feeds the ambition but is refreshing and does not draw from his reserves. For example, I know some people like him, who have competitive pastimes that will feed the ambition to be better, but do not drain them the way their professional ambition does. So they take breaks to pursue the pastime for a while, then go back to the work world. Your son needs to figure out what recharges him and make sure to take breaks when he needs them.[/quote]
