"野心は君をひどく醜く見せる。"

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when people are very determined to achieve their goals, they can act in ways that aren't very nice. Think about someone who wants to be the best at their job. If they start lying, being mean to others, or stepping on others to get ahead, it makes them seem less kind or attractive as a person. For example, if a student wants to be top of the class so badly that they cheat on tests or sabotage others, their ambition turns into a negative trait. While striving for success isn’t bad, it’s important to reach our goals without losing our kindness or respect for others. So, it's a reminder to chase our dreams but not at the cost of our character.
