What drives you to succeed?

The biggest reason I strive to succeed is not for the success or reward that could be achieved at the end of the road. Although I strive for that too, my main motivation to work hard for
success is to make memories along the way. Making mistakes, learning from them, and creating bonds and connections that can last a lifetime are just a few examples of the great
things that emerge from putting in hard work and dedication. I cannot wait to experience those things as a part of a team again.
