Accomplishment may be the result of ambition or drive...

 

I think I probably have lots of drive.

 

 But I don’t have any ambition. 

 

I never really had any...

 

 I don’t have a hugely high opinion of ambition.

 

 I think of ambition as the need to prove something to others,

 

 and the need to be recognized.

 

 A need for rewards outside of the work. 

 

Drive motivates you to do whatever it is you’re doing as well as you can. 

 

That’s an important distinction.
