All people by type of character can be conditionally divided into categories. At the same time, some are in despondency almost all the time, while others prefer to live a full life. The latter can be said to be experiencing drive. People in this state of mind differ in behavior and outlook.
Drive is a word of English origin. In Russian, you can choose a synonym for it - energy. Moreover, it can have several meanings. In everyday life, you can hear the expressions "catching a drive" or "getting a drive".
Definition and translation
The word "drive" was borrowed from the youth English vocabulary. Literally translated, the verb "to drive" is to start a car or a person (to cheer him up).
If a person is in such a state in which he is able to perform any actions and deeds for the sake of the intended goal, then he gets a drive. There is also the term "dry" - the character of a person inherent in him from birth. If a person is seized with drive, then he will easily overcome any obstacles in his life path.
Some argue that drive is an extremely positive character trait, since a person in this case opens up much more opportunities for himself, and, therefore, can live a full life. But it is not so. The drive has disadvantages, which include excessive assertiveness. This can cause a negative attitude of society towards such a person.
In addition, a person who is seized with drive and uses this state for peaceful purposes may at some point fail to cope with the task at hand. But the character will not allow him to abandon the intended goal and then this can result in negative consequences. For example, a person can commit any rash acts that will be condemned by the public.
