Drive to succeed (8)

I believe the answer is:

ambition

'drive to succeed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ambition that I've seen before include "hope for the future" , "Aspiration, dream" , "Strong desire to achieve fameor fortune" , "Strong drive for success" , "A determination to succeed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
