I think it's his desire to create great invention.

From Malcom Baird personal journal:
John Logie Baird got his inventive inspiration from reading the newly published stories of H.G. Wells. Wells made it seem that anything was possible: travel to the moon, invisibility... so why not television?

Please note that there were inventors before John Baird attempted to "make" television. However, Baird was the pioneer in major advances in the process of "making" television

From Wikipedia:
Although the development of television was the result of work by many inventors, Baird was its foremost pioneer and made major advances in the field. He is credited with being the first person to produce a live, moving, duotone (or "greyscale") television image from reflected light. Baird achieved this, where other inventors had failed, by obtaining a better photoelectric cell and improving the signal conditioning from the photocell and the video amplifier.
