In some cases, yes ambition is a cover up for low self esteem because if you show and make others believe that your superior to them they will then believe that your selfesteem is not low at all but high and that your overcome with the fact of having a lot to grow on.

you feel horrible about yourself...Trust me I know for a fact. But you also put on a game face because others know you as ambitious and you keep up the charade. It's a vicious cycle.
Eventually, you need to just accept the way things have turned out. It happens for a reason, but you'll always have feelings of failure and inadeqacy.

You cannot have ambition if you don't have high self-esteem. They go hand in hand.
If you don't live up to your expectations, keep trying.
I too feel that I'm not living to my expectations and its very frustrating.

I think a truly ambitious person
sets impossibly high goals
so that what is actually acheived
is still self-satisfying.

If you ever live up to your expectations, you will wither. Try aggresiveness and assertion as precursors for that low self-esteem problem.

I would be very disappointed and would probably try to live up to my expectations. No one is perfect so I wouldn't be all that disappointed.

Don't set them beyond your capabilities so you can accomplish them and not hurt your self-esteem.
