What Drives You?

“Thirty years ago, you were one of the poorest men in the world. Today you are one of the richest. How did you get here?” the reporter asked.

Jacob Inkwell smiled mischievously, welcoming the opportunity to trod down memory lane. Then he said, “I drove.”

“Ah,” the reporter snorted.

Still on his journey into his past, he said, “no one walks to success son, every successful person on this planet was driven by something or someone. Whether it’s greed, ambition, poverty, hatred, a better life, a better world, a vow, a promise, ego, etc., they all have their car/reasons. Thirty years later we hire drivers so that we can see the world and stop and smell the roses.” What drives your success?
