Term: Ambition

Definition:
The drive behind a passion, something that pushes you forward to meet the goal that you have set. To strive for more.

Reasons:
So something gets accomplished. So we can achieve great things and prove to others that we are someone greater than the image projected.

Ways to go it:
By having a passion. By setting goals and striving to meet those goals.

Ways to maintain it:
To keep the drive with which we use to achieve our goal.

Ways one would use it:
To achieve something that they wish for. To want more in life than you already have.

Ways one could loose it:
By loosing the passion. By not believing in what they are doing and why. By loosing all hope whatsoever.

How it affects people:
Can motivate others to strive beyond what they are able to. Motivate others to join what they have started. Also make others feel the need of ambition in their own lives.

Others:
Without ambition, nothing would be accomplished and we wouldn't be able to stand where we are and say how we have achieved this standing. Without the drive, there will be no great in the world and there will be no culture or society.

Connections:
Ambition connects to loyalty, because you have to be loyal to thing object you are ambitions of, or else you will not be able to achieve it. Power is also linked to ambition because ambition achieves great goals, which may put those that achieve in a place of power at times. Therefore they need to know how to handle that power.
