JOHN EGGERS COLUMN: Are you driven?
The quality that drives Simon, our dog, to relentlessly search for something that he forgot is the same type of quality that people have who are driven to accomplish something. They just can’t let it go.

Our dog, Simon, has an interesting trait.
He likes to carry things on our daily walks. It could be a stick, football, or even a frozen head of cabbage. Invariably as we walk he will drop his baggage and explore.
As we continue our walk and when I notice that Simon has forgotten something, I will remind him, “Simon, where’s your football?” We could be a couple hundred yards away from where he last dropped it but he will first look around as if something is wrong and then charge off in the direction of the football. A few minutes later, he will come running up to me with the football in his mouth just to show me, “See, I didn’t forget.”
