In life, people who work long hours at least 5 days a week, or those in school that put in the after hours late into the night at the library... they have a drive... but what is that drive?
Is the drive:
The desire for success?
- - - or - - -
The fear of failure?

The desire for success. May I suggest reading, Napolean Hill books.

I think it's individual. I am motivated by a desire for success. Or even, a desire to complete the things I know I will eventually have to do, and get on with things I like.
But there are a lot of people who are motivated by the fear of failure. I think that is scary, because no matter how hard you try, there are things that you will fail, and that will cause self-punishment, and, potentially, trauma and loss of motivation. Fear of anything is a very bad long-term motivation.

Well, it is a fact that women's fertility declines as they get older, and your changes of being able to conceive can be reduced as you age. However, i had two children when I was in my forties, and there are plenty of other women who have done the same, so I certainly wouldn't rule out the possiblity that you can establish a career first and then have children later. However, the longer you leave it the greater the chance that you will find yourself infertile. It all depends how much you want a family, how long you are prepared to delay it, how great a risk you are prepared to take. Everything in life has risks. In any case, I seriously doubt that you are going to be infertile before you have taken your doctorate, unless you are planning to take a VERY long time over it.

In the most general case, the fear of failure gives these people the drive to succeed. Its simple logic: you can't fail if you succeed. But is it really? Just because you succeed in one realm of life doesnt mean you haven't failed in another.

with me, its the desire to prove myself.
failure humbles oneself, success brings self esteem.
