My father is the second of nine children raised in the projects of New York. I am the second of five children. My father was raised without a dad and his committment to himself was his children would be raised with a dad and that he was going to escape poverty... I am the second person in my entire family to graduate from college and the second person to have a Master's degree....The first for both on my father's side of the family...The thought of living in poverty is a never ending nightmare of mine....The desire to be number one in everything that I do overtakes my every emotion and thought....My question to you....Is what drives you....Success, love...fear of death....What is your passion?

I guess what drives me is quite simply, me. I have always set goals for myself and wanted to be the best without failure. I'm quite driven...sometimes to the point that I obsess to come out on 'top'.

Yeah, I bet you 'wood' :D
Like you, Major, my passion was born from adversity. I don't want to go into details, but my childhood was less than idyllic. I vowed that I would never be poor again, and my child would always know he is loved completely and unconditionally. I give of myself to my family, friends and commumity because I was raised in a selfish and bitter environment. I take care of my body and my health and set a good example for my son because I've seen the effects of alcoholism on a body. I savour every moment of every day, the miracle of life, because I've seen lives wasted. I am a product of my environment, but I don't want to be a statistic. My struggles have shaped my convictions and fuelled my passion.

Interesting questions....
In real life I am frequently underestimated. I am just determined to prove that I can do things on my own, I just have this ability to focus in on what I decide I want and get it, whatever it takes. I'll fixate, turn the problem around, and look at it from different perspectives. As I get older I get more competitive too, and that drives me.....

There are many things that drive me and have driven me in the past. I grew up being the nice who always waited his turn--and sometimes I never got one. I had many successes in high school--but also had more failure and miss oportunities than I care to admit. College open my eyes and changed me for the better. I am still the nice guy--but I demand that now I get my turn if not treated fairly. I go looking for opportunity instead of waiting for one to come around. I want to be the best in everything I do--average in my job sucks. My motto is do your best--then try and do better! Now since I had a child and got married--my little one drives me in many areas where my career use to. Don't get me wrong my career is still big--but my child is number 1--and a person can do both well.

Passion:sc does anyone truly understand the meaning of the word? Passion is about life, its about experiences, it isn't about one thing, it an emotion learnt! You can't fake it, but there are some who try... passion is powerful, its about tears, about anger, about love, about joy... its such an abandonment of emotion, so intense... for me thats passion!

Passion comes from within....you can be passionate about lots of things...
I am passionate about reading.....I am passionate about cooking
I am passionate about Tiger.....
Passion is a strong feeling or desire that begins from within...u either feel it or ya don't....

ooops...did we get off subject???
Ok...well I was born into a very messed up family...never met my father....my mom was an alcoholic....we were on welfare at one point....and I was raised by my grandparents mostly...
So I am always afraid of not having money in the bank...and I find that at times, I sacrifice a lot of things so I will have something in there....the thought of not being able to provide for myself and others is what motivates me I think..

As a child I was an ugly kid.....I know that is hard to believe....Anyway as I got older and starting working out I became a little more appealing....But when I look in the mirror I still still that skinny kid with a chipped tooth and thick birth control glasses on.... That is a demon that I am always running away from.....That image is more than twenty years old but it still haunts me?

I must not have a passion that drives me....I had a happy childhood....storybook really.
Always wanted to be the best mom and wife I could be. Both those areas have a bit to be desired...at least I think so.
I have never wanted to be rich really...just wanted to survive...be able to take care of myself and my kids if it came to that.
Suppose now my desire to be alive when my grandchildren are grown could be considered my passion. They are the reason I'm trying to eat better and walking everyday. I'm losing weight, feeling better about me.
Yes....that's my passion...those grandbabies.
They are glasses that are so ugly that no one will ever have sex with you....
Well shit.....that's what mine were then. :cry: No wonder I couldn't find anyone to have sex with me as a teenager.
I was probably the only girl on my street that was still a virgin at 17. Its not because I didn't try....Had one boyfriend that I really wanted to with...and he wouldn't. Guess now I can be thankful...he was an ass.

What drives me is trying to find out who drives me?????Stilllooking...
I heard something years ago that stayed with me : If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. I want to do my part in my community. I want to make it a little better because of my efforts. I never used to care as much as I do, but once I had my son, I wanted to get involved. This is the world he will be inheriting from us. I want to do what I can to ensure it's still in one piece when he does. I want to teach him by example how to make a contribution, how to make your mark, how to make the world a little better.

In the West, we put too much emphasis on measuring. I take a lesson from the Buddhists and Hindus. Quality in everything we do is the essence of life and success.
Exceeding the expectations of our parents is pressure we put on ourselves, and I understand your individual circumstance. You owe it to your father to multiply his investment in you. And obviously you take that very seriously and have acheived great things.
However, your happiness will ultimately be measured more by a random act of kindess than by your social or economic status.
To balance out the success in your life, Major, I'd read a great book. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. You'll love me for it. Read it.

I think that me being successful will not only impact my children but also the inter-city kids that the wife and I mentor....I have paid for kids to go to places that they would not be able to visit if it was not for my random acts of kindness.... I give to youth missions and the list could go on...My passion is about reaching back and pulling forward as many people as I can...My success is a pathway for others.... It is not all about my individual success but the number of people that I can touch along the way....

Well, let's give you a real life example. Instead of counting how many women I fucked, I'd rather count how many of them can't stop thinking about how great I was. See, quality vs. quantity. See, I really am shallow.

OK...I was hesitant to post this...but Major inspired me...deeply personal...I was raised in an extremely abusive environment...both of my parents are mentally ill...my childhood was a nightmare (to say the least). I am very fortunate, through the grace of God, to have escaped their illness. I have a purpose, and that purpose is to help mentally ill adults. I was a social worker for many years and have just returned to it. But...my purpose doesn't stop there...I am bound and determined to give my children a childhood...a childhood full of dandelion picking, picnics, water parks, and stories at bedtime (things that I never had)...THAT is what drives me and gets me out of bed every morning...
I know what you're saying, Outta, but goals aren't always monetary in nature. For me it's about quality of life, which means making sure there's grass in my son's schoolyard. It's about getting involved in Scouts so the troupe has enough leaders and doesn't have to fold. It's about helping out with charities so my son learns how to give back to the community.
Yes, it's about making sure my son never goes hungry, and that he can go to university without worrying how he's going to pay the tuition, but it's not about being rich. It's about being comfortable.

I feel like Im a hybrid of both Outta and Majorfun, I do set goals and I do help lots of people in both my community, my daly life and my employment. In addition to that Im able to teach those from various surronding communities and find it rewarding. We have a short time on this earth compared to the billions of years this rock has been here. So....with that said, what about that nice soft ass backing up against my belly and nice breasts to hang on to....welll the search is not yet over....
That was incredibly honest and heartfelt, DH. I admire your candor and your courage to want something more for your children. That is absolutely heroic.

For me it's merely setting the example. As a manager at work, I have to always be positive and hard at work to help keep the moral up for my crew. Fear also drives me every day at home. I persevere through the tough times and try and do more on my own, so when the time comes, I will be ready to face the world as a single woman and mother.

What drives me is to be the very best Father I can be for my children, in every facet of their life. I was the oldest of six, single-parent home, and grew up without a Father. Consequently, I swore my two children would never experience even a hint of this, even if it means I'm unhappy or dissatisfied. I love them, they're the greatest!
