It is helpful to think of people as having two fundamental motivations: the desire to see ourselves as honest, good people, and the desire to gain the benefits that come from cheating - on our taxes or on the football field.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn't thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I'm just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn't paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing.
Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.
Yeah, I think it motivates you as people start to count you out. It doesn't make you play any harder, because every time you go out on the field you give 110 percent, but it does give you more of an edge mentally, knowing that you were in the same situation, because in sports you always find yourself behind.
We have our own reasons for what's motivating us right now.
People try to do better than other people. It's an incentive.
Getting ahead cannot be the only motive that motivates people. You have to imagine what a good life is.
When people ask me what my motivation is, I have a simple answer: money.
I think envy motivates a lot of people.
In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example - and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.
In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it.
