I think Drive and Confidence are mutually exclusive. Being confident without drive is being smug and complacent. Being driven without confidence teeders on the line of reckless arrogance Think and Grow Rich is for people who have lost all hope. It was written in the Depression era. The secret ingredient, that he doesn't refer to that all the 13 principles add up to, in my opinion, is Confidence. Confidence to save money, Confidence in creating desire in yourself. Even people who have lost their limbs and continue to be self-sufficient, it's confidence. Check out a book called StartUp Leadership by Derek Lidow, Drive doesn't always have to be Forward and Determined.. It's more of Letting your actions of taking a project or helping a project being the best it can be. Team Drive is extremely powerful. Hence importance of Culture in organizations...

Interesting perspective. It would be interesting to try to understand which of our biases led us both to each of our conclusions. I really felt/feel strongly that the book was about Drive.. but anyway, that's not exactly a discussion to have on HN haha.

To answer your question, I'm originally from Toronto but living in Montreal now. You should consider moving out here :) (I would say that to anyone from Calgary haha)
