Source: Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments and Nephews": "The husband's ambition should be lofty, the sage should be respected, and his lust and stagnation should be abandoned, so that the ambition of ordinary people still exists and he feels sad."
Interpretation: A person must have lofty aspirations, admire sages, abstain from lust, and abandon the factors that hinder progress, so that the aspirations of sages can be significantly preserved in himself and deeply shocked in himself.

In the Ten Commandments, it is often used as the motto of "aim high".
"If you are not indifferent, you will have no ambition. If you are not quiet, you will be far away." It was written to Zhuge Zhan by Zhuge Liang in the 12th year of Jianxing in Shu Han Dynasty (AD 234) during his son's funeral. This is not only a summary of Zhuge Liang's life experience, but also a requirement for his son. Here Zhuge Liang used the sentence pattern of "double negation" and expressed his teaching and infinite expectations for his son in a strong euphemistic tone.
In modern words, if you don't look down on the immediate fame and fortune, you won't have a clear ambition, and if you can't study calmly, you won't be able to achieve lofty goals.
