Motivations are too tangled and complex.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.
Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.
Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can't be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.
You can look for external sources of motivation and that can catalyze a change, but it won't sustain one. It has to be from an internal desire.
In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it.
Understanding motivation is one of the most important things we can do in our lives, because it has such a bearing on why we do the things we do and whether we enjoy them or not.
One of the things I have tried to do with this book and with all of them really is avoid that simple, easy, reductionist view of motivation and to show we do things for a complex net of reasons, a real braid of reasons.
I do have motivation. A lot of motivation.
I don't know if there are words to describe my motivation.
Motivation is simple. You eliminate those who are not motivated.
