What Is An Engine?

What drives you?

What makes you realize suddenly that something in your life needs to happen, and so you do it?

Is it friends? Is it family? Or maybe it's just that you're an extremely productive person, always on top of the game?

For me, it's realization. I almost always have to go through some kind of mental hurdle, and realize "Yes, I need to change this behavior." It's just, sort of, a mental pep-talk that helps me look at my life and alter my behavior in such a way as to lead to a better life.

So, what do you do, when you realize something has to change to make your life better? Do you hem and haw? Or do you get right on it? How do you find the courage, the strength, and the drive to get to where you need to be?

Yes, that book is the first book I recommend to anyone considering to read military sci-fi. Then I turn them on to some of Weber's stuff, then Drake, etc. But yeah, LOVE that book. =D

Weber has a few series that the wife and I read.
All the Honor Harrington, and Merc books...

I would also recomment SM Stirling Domination series For space opera
Elizabeth Moon The Deed of Paksenarrion for fantasy mercenary...
