Sorry, sometimes I mistake your existential crises for career insights. ;)</p>

<p>I don’t have a drive, as it were. I do whatever I want and can rarely conceive of acting otherwise.</p>
<p>Hm, my drive would be other people and stuff I find interesting, but mostly other people (like maybe 7:3 or something like that, maybe 8:2). I like to help other people, especially girls, and especially cute ones or friendly ones or nice ones, but any girls. I help guys too but only when they ask, I wouldn’t help unless it was badly needed or the dude asks, but I’d rather help a girl whether or not she asks, as long as it seems like she needs it. I’m actually absolutely serious here, I don’t think I could live without females. No, I know I couldn’t.</p>
<p>Um, got a bit sidetracked there, but my drive is definitely other people, I completely go out of my way and try my best for other people (especially cute and/or nice and/or friendly girls, but I’m not shallow in the least…a friend, a kinda cute girl whose friendly and a bit nice, said I’m way too picky). I don’t think I could ever lose this drive unless I became blind, deaf, and lost feeling. I’ve had this drive since I was aware of girls, I believe, but I haven’t been aware of it too long (reflecting on past actions helped me think).</p>
<p>kinda@arsenalcrazy: I think the whole point of life is living and reproducing (that’s what Biology says life does, too), and if I’m living to live, why not have fun? If I’m gonna die anyways I might as well leave something behind besides my cold, stiff body because that’s not cool or fun. And I wouldn’t and don’t care too much about death. The part about death I fear most is pain, I hate pain. </p>
<p>Ah, but more than anything, a great reason to live is women, and other people of course.</p>
<p>^ Lol, gynaecomania.</p>
<p>I don’t know what I want to do with my life yet. Actually, I know plenty of things I want to do, I just can’t narrow it down.</p>
<p>So my goal in life is to open doors and create opportunities for myself, so once I finally figure out where I need to go, I have access to the path.</p>
<p>Basically this means working as hard as I can to get solid grades and an IB diploma to get into a great school with a great scholarship. And that’s what drives me.</p>
<p>I’ve gone through some phases where I develop a somewhat nihilistic perspective on the world, i.e. I get that “what’s the point?” attitude. But then I think… “Why not?” I’m here, so why not just let life ride out? And since without something to do, life would be boring, why not make myself better and more comfortable, and the same for others who were also put here? </p>
<p>This is essentially what drives me.</p>
<p>It’s the thought that I can be more knowledgeable and better in general, and through that, ultimately make the world better. I’ve reasoned that to fulfill this, my best path is to do my best in school, go to college, and eventually work in a job I enjoy and can live comfortably with while still contributing to society (which basically rules out jobs like being a day trader, which is something I feel is pretty worthless, manipulating stocks/money for profit is kind of lame.) I want to leave at least some kind of good impression on the world. </p>
<p>The path is also something that drives me. I think the idea of doing well academically and going to a good college exciting. I have a lust for learning :D. Yeah, I’m a nerd.</p>
<p>^ Wow :o I have the same view in life. Except for the “…liv[ing] comfortably while still contributing to society (which basically rules out jobs…being a day trader, which is something I feel is pretty worthless)…” part because I want to be filthy rich and doing it in one of the top business firms of the world… or Wall Street. lulz.</p>

<p>i think it’s pretty common in kids who pressure themselves a lot. they burn out and can’t do any more. alternatively, you may just have the “normal” level of drive now but think you have no drive because you are not as hyperfocused as you were before.</p>
<p>i didn’t have any drive for the last two years of high school, but i still completed assignments out of fear i would do poorly. by the time i went to caltech i was completely burnt out, couldn’t handle anything, and had to take a year off school. after resting for two years i think i have a normal level of drive. but yes, pressure kills.</p>
<p>Well this what I wake up to in the morning. Sweet.</p>

<li><p>Props to the B.o.B quote. I love that guy.</p></li>
<li><p>Well… it’s not like I don’t have goals. I know I have them. But it feels like I can’t carry myself. Like I’m not at my usual level of productivity. Eminem’s song Talkin 2 Myself describes my life perfectly right now.</p></li>

<p>You get +1,000,000 for that comic. <3 :D</p>
<p>I havent been to the range in a while, but i can shoot around 125</p>
<p>I find that I’m not in drive, but reverse…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lol. I’m not like a super humanitarian or anything, but if I did that I’d feel kind of useless. I can see myself running a company (which actually might be realistic given my circumstances…), but I feel like I’d have no need for a huge amount of money like that of which you might get from a job like that. Also, if I played the market for profit, it would kill me (not literally, just contradict my values >_>) that I’m not really doing anything productive. Of course I could make a lot of money, but ultimately, I wouldn’t contribute anything to society.</p>
<p>any type of suffering that cop-outs like to blame on God. the stories of the homeless people in my town and their inexplicable yet refreshing happiness.</p>
<p>My drive is a steep, downhill slope on which I have recieved scars that I will probably have for years…</p>
<p>Wagon > razor scooter if you live in the mountains. Pity I had to find out the hard way.</p>
<p>I just lost my car keys.</p>
<p>I’ve lost my drive for school. I lost it sometime around Christmas, around MY 16th birthday. I’ve been sick of school, and I’ve just been breezing through everything, not taking anything too seriously, whether it’s good or bad.</p>
<p>I need to get my drive back ASAP, before I start filling out these college applications.</p>
<p>My drive is knowing that if I keep working hard and achieving at a high level, I will have a good chance of getting into an ivy league or top- tier school, going to a top- notch graduate school, and ending up with a very high paying job that will allow me to live in a nice neighborhood. All of this is what keeps me from burning out. Also, my thirst for knowledge is what keeps me excelling in the area of academics. I keep my drive by setting aside some time for friends, family, and fun. That way, I don’t burn out.</p>
<p>It’s been a pretty natural drive that I’ve had since I could remember. Realize my vision.</p>
<p>^^^ I feel you. My 16th birthday just passed. But now I found my drive again. I guess I do have friends after all.</p>
<p>I’m back. Full confidence and all.</p>
<p>I feel like I’m back to normal again.
