ONE love, blood, life
People often talk about 'drive', especially in the context of careers. The state of 'having drive', 'being driven' are put forward as things to respect and seek to attain. To talk of someone as being a driven person, is usually viewed as a complimentary thing to say particularly as regards the male of the species.
Now, don't get me wrong, no-one ever achieved anything of importance without plenty of hard work, but I sometimes wonder if all this talk of 'drive' really means forcing yourself to do things that you don't really want to do in order to achieve goals that are somewhat questionable.
And why would anyone want to do that, I wonder?
I would like to venture the opinion that being grounded is a better aspiration than having drive.
