Resentment seems to be a common source of extreme, sustained drive that makes people take on ambitious projects. What are some others?

I'm not sure that counts as a drive. Sounds more like a conscious justification after the fact.

We can cluster all those under "resentment" I think :D

no I do not define resentment that way. That's a pretty vacuous definition :)

resentment is a sense that specific powerful people/groups/institutions have disrespected you and wanting to "show them"

your responses sound vaguely like ideological press releases :D I am really looking for innate psych drives, not explicit motives

well innate drives to me mean persistent felt states like resentment, restlessness. Fear of death seems more like an episodic thing
