the engine of ambition, also the reason you forgot your turn while overthinking everything.
means To operate and steer a vehicle, or more broadly the force of motivation that pushes you toward a goal.
from From Old English 'drīfan,' meaning to force or push something forward — originally cattle, then carts, then cars, and eventually one's own ambitions. It's a Germanic word with cousins across the family, like German 'treiben,' all carrying that same sense of urging something onward whether it wants to go or not.
