Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Ambition doesn't always announce itself with grand leaps; it can also advance quietly, patiently, even stealthily. The speaker points to two styles of aspiration, the soaring and the creeping, hinting that low-profile schemes may reach as far as visible, dramatic ones.
