"We discovered that ambition has, at most, only a very slight positive effect on life satisfaction, and actually a slightly negative impact on longevity," says Judge. "So, yes, ambitious people do achieve more successful careers, but that doesn't seem to translate into leading happier or healthier lives." “我们发现，进取心最多只是增加人生满足感的一个很细微的因素，事实上它同时还对寿命具有轻微的负面影响，”贾吉说。“因此，没错，积极进取者的确拥有更成功的事业，但这看起来并没有转化为更幸福、更健康的生活。”

Although the study doesn't address the reasons for higher mortality rates among ambitious people, Judge speculates that "perhaps the investments they make in their careers come at the expense of the things we know affect longevity," such as "healthy behaviors, stable relationships, and deep social networks." 虽然这项研究没有指出导致积极进取者寿命较短的原因，但贾吉猜测：“或许是因为他们对事业忘我投入，忽略了很多有益于健康的事情，”比如“健康的生活习惯、稳定的家庭关系和深候的社交网络”。

Note to parents: Pushing kids to aim for the stars, get into a prestigious school, and pursue a high-powered career may not do them any favors in the long run. 因此，父母们需要注意了：敦促子女抱负远大理想、进名牌学校、追寻辉煌事业从长远来看似乎对他们并没有什么好处。
