Ambition seems to play a big part in motivating humans to do stuff.
The ambition for power, or wealth, or fame or all of them. To pretend otherwise is to delude ourselves.
Altruism or selflessness may drive the actions of many for a time when there are common goals or obstacles to be overcome. Once these are attained, however, we revert to the former.
Contrary to how some want to portray things, there's nothing wrong with ambition. Acknowledge it, create agreed rules of the game, and let's get on with it.

Black Hole
Seeing the image of the blackhole must have evoked many
emotions and thoughts,
Awe,
Admiration,
Celebration,
Spirituality,
Wonder and deep
thinking about the science behind it all.
Perhaps disbelief
from the flat-earthers
It is clear, however, that this is a concrete demonstration
of the human spirit,
What is possible from belief in our capabilities,
A constant endeavour to reach farthest in space and time, to
hone our skills, improve our equipment
A belief in possibilities
Human ingenuity, from the telescopes, to the organising, to
the code that created the algorithms
At this point it is fair to ask, to think, is there anything that is truly impossible?
