Ambitions first step
Although a lot people would argue that vision would be the first step in realizing your ambition, I believe it is setting up your definition of ambition first before creating that vision. Defining is an aspect in life we do naturally but is significant in the way we act. In every action lies its own purpose and meaning. So by defining it ambition you also create some vision as well, or maybe complete your vision overall.

Sociology and Ambition
Here we go into a field that is traverse by only yours truly! With that being said there is also the possibilities that people do compare these too but I have yet to google them.
So sociology is the study of people while ambition is an adjective that calls to a new form of will power in people. Maybe ambition is the form of God people wonder about, that light that shines, the light they only see. Could it be the sounds in their head that utter words to create a bigger point. Sociology acts the same though through one concept, collective consciousness. This concept explains that people ultimately live the way they are through a scheme of collective norms they have come to live by. They may or may not realize it but they too have unified under these pretenses. Ambition to this point is more a person by person concept.
Collective consciousness macro while ambition is micro.

Poems for Ambition.
So here are so poems that were given for free and revolve around the word ambition.
Ambition
I am going to fucking rule the world.
Yes sir. Not a question in my mind.
I am going to make good on all the promises
I made when I arrived, Kicking
and screaming, into the doctor's waiting arms.
I am not going to gently into that good night
because the words I have are not fucking gentle.
That's right. Get ready. I am going to rock
this life to the core
--------
Ambition
Did my father want to cut steel all his life?
Did my mother wish she could dance?
Did my sister plan her daughter or the kitchen with the flickering light
and the cabinet door that won't close tight?
I thought I would paint.
But here I am making poems in the
square, listening to the sounds as I write.
-----------
So my thoughts are that ambition is basically different for everyone. It plays a part in our identity as shown by the two separate authors above. My question is however, how much can a person change another ambition through sheer communication alone?

Tracking off from historical figures...
What do I think of ambition?
You are not born with it, you must acquire it. It is your dedication to a goal that shows your ambition, at times it may consume you. However, ambition is easily mistaken as willpower. The key difference is the fact that ambition will not sway, willpower can. I often see people have trouble when it comes to being overly competitive or workaholic, and I believe this the result of their ambition being so strong that it overwhelms them and their ethic. It is as dangerous as dipping your being into insanity, the amount you consume is not calculated but forged in random amounts.
Your sitting there playing blackjack, this is your ambition. If you bust you lose, if you lose to the dealer you lose. If you win, you win. Ambition is such a gamble.
When you get ambition you are ambitious. Google defines it as "Intended to satisfy high aspirations and therefore difficult to achieve". It needs to satisfy high aspirations, anything lower will drive your very being to change in a less desirable person.
You will annoy people, you will be ousted if those goals you set your ambitions towards are small.
A simple search engine search for ambitious people describes people completing great feats, however there are those who were ambitious but do not get recognized but rather ousted. Scientists are a perfect example, their methods and goals are huge but it is questioned whether it is "good" or "bad". Methods to make the greatest disease is used to also make the greatest cure, is it safe?
Ambition, use to your discretion.

A quick start review on Oda Nobunaga
Born on June 23, 1534, Nobunaga lived a bizarre early childhood that dubbed him "The Fool of Owari". His early life composed of curiosity of culture outside Japan and firearms, specifically Tanegashima firearms. His friends were people that were a mix of different social classes. At his father funeral he threw the ceremonial incense at the alter, furthering the "The Fool of Owari" view people had on him. People drew away from him and even his mentor Hirate Masahide commit seppuku.
So he changed.
The Oda clan divided and his brother, Nobutomo Oda, seeking his defeat, Nobunaga appoached his first battle. Nobutomo was ultimately killed however in the process Nobunaga had Nobutomo younger brother and another ally to undermine Nobutomo. Later his other brother Nobuyuki seeked to also undermine Nobunaga. This also failed and with killing his brothers, he ended all opposition by 1559 in his clan. From here would take the world stage at the Battle of Okehazama.
He rallied 3,000 troops to launch a surprise attack on the Imagawas clan of 25,000. The weather was stormy and the troops of the Imagawa were celebrating a victory, so their flank was open and their position in a narrow crossing provided a successful raid. Yoshimoto Imagawa was killed in this battle and his clan rapidly weakened. An alliance was made with Ieyasu Tokugawa, who were under Imagawa control before the battle, and Nobunaga would also meet Toyotomi Hideyoshi. These two would be he successors.
