斗志昂扬 is a four-character idiom (成语) meaning 'to have high morale' or 'to be full of fighting spirit'. The literal image is of one's will to fight rising high and proud. You use it to describe a person or group who is energetic, determined, and ready to face a challenge. It often appears in contexts of competition, work, or military spirit.
