what makes NYC so AMBITIOUS

what makes NYC so AMBITIOUS?
I need a direct linkage for the insane work culture here!!! At first I thought it came from London and Europe and its initial settlers. Can't be!! I've trained and been place on work projects in London, The Netherlands, Germany, Francais...Nothing compares to the NYC pace. Could it be an American phenomenon then? We have offices in LA, the South, and midwest. Whenever I visit these offices everything feels soooo sloooooooow, so that can't be it. Could it be Wall Street culture extension? Could be, but this work hard mentality seems to span ALL industries in Manhattan. Legal, Advertising, PR, Accounting, even Nursing. Hours worked here are much, much more, so that can only be a partial answer. NYC pays more than anywhere else? Quite possibly so, but some studies have shown competence doesn't always equal pay (look at DC for example, ha!). So that can't be the full story. Melting pot immigration? Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Singapore are just examples that you don't need diversity to promote this type of ambition, so that's not it. So what exactly is the DIRECT reason for NYC's insane work hard (and thus, play hard) mentality if you could only pinpoint it to one historical event or influence? WHAT MAKES THIS TOWN SO DAMN AMBITIOUS?!?!?!
