What Motivates You Everyday
A Quote By A.P.J.Abdul Kalam |
This is a discussion article. I pose this question to my faithful
readers. What motivates you to wake up in the morning, dress up and go to work?
What motivates you as a student to rush to school and study your books? What
motivates you as a university or college student to study for your
examinations? What motivates you to apply for a job? What motivates you
to earn a living? What motivates you to strive on with life? What motivates you
to do what you do? What motivates people to be religious? What motivates you to
eat? What motivates people to make friends? Etc
I know I can't stop asking all these questions, because I can't
cover up the reasons why people are motivated. If I am to get it from my
readers, I will be sure that the answers will be diverse as there are different
factors that motivate people like pay, prestige, making a difference, making
money etc. The reasons are numerous. What motivates you can also inspire you as
an individual. Imagine going for an interview and we are asked what motivates
you? Definitely the interviewer wants to know what makes us tick. What are the things
that define our lives? This is to gain an insight into out personality and to
gauge if we can fit into their organization.
"Desire is the key to motivation, but its determination and
commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence
- that will enable you to attain the success you seek." Mario
Andretti
The importance of motivation cannot be over emphasized. There are
two key words that go side by side with motivation. They are determination and
commitment. Motivation drives determination. Commitment is the desire to pursue
a goal. Without these driving factors motivation is not complete. Determination
can be defined as a firm purpose or will to carry out an endeavor. Even if
there are obstacles on the way, the strong will to succeed will push us to the
finish line. Life is not a bed of roses. Temptation, trials and tribulations
will rear their ugly head but if we are determined and are committed to the
cause. Then we can finish the race. I still pose the question to you today what
motivates you?
