I often wonder what drives a person to work hard and keep trying day after day
Day in day out
He puts in the hours
He puts in the effort
He doesn't get enough sleep
Sometimes he skips meals
Is it the fear of failure?
Or is it the lust or hunger for success?
Is it the fear of becoming an outcast in society?
Is it the fear of being isolated by friends and family?
Or is it this constant thirst for attention and adulation?
Is it this uncontrollable desire to amass wealth?
Is it the fear of falling behind his counterparts?
Or is it the hope of getting recognition?
Is it an effort to improve?
Is it just merely an effort to survive?
Or is it an effort to provide?
If i were to be honest and speak for myself i'd say it's a bit of all of the above
