We all need motivation, but we're all motivated by different things. Some people are motivated by force, some by cookies, some by pie... I myself am motivated by fast food.
It varies for what my end goal is. A healthier life when I exercise, a brighter future when I study, a thirst for knowledge when I read and the chance of getting lai--- finding someone I can love when I'm sociable.
work motivates me. I'm a workaholic. I love to do well in things except bein fit. If there is somethin to do with learning something that interests me, it motivates me to do well in it.
Praise is always nice, or rather acknowledgement, it's good to know that what you're doing has been recognized. However in that sense I don't care how many people recognize it, if just one person does, then I'm satisfied.
Money. I could do just about anything (hint: just about anything, not I would do anything) if the price is right. If it's something more to do with morals, then whatever the moral is. If it has to do with talking to people, I tell myself it will help me to be more outgoing and will boost confidence level.
im motivated when other people help me or at least notice im there. also, my hope for a better life. except for... nothing. im not really full of motivation XP
What motivates me is the desire to achieve things. I'm in school because I have goals, and after this is done I'll be going to college and/or the army, then after that I'm not sure. It depends on what I decide to study and major in. So in about six-eight years I'll have my answer.
I have little motivation, but I suppose my friends and family play a role. I usually try a tad bit harder when they're around. I don't get motivated much, unless it's fun or I might get some benefit out of it.
I'm only motivated by what interests me...which is a large problem in school for any class I don't like. When I have no interest in something, I can't pay attention or really focus on it, I make careless errors and tune out the teacher which makes me miss things.
I'm motivated by whatever I want to motivate me. If I want to get something done, I'll motivate myself to do something. I don't have too much of a trouble with motivation. I have a trouble focusing.
I get motivated by other people. I don't do much for myself. Or when I exercise for the good feeling afterwards and during the training. And sometimes for a cake, to bad it's a lie.
My ancestors motivate me. I am of Spartan descent, and knowing the physical feats they accomplished keep me going physically. The fact that the Greeks invented basically everything motivates me to work hard at my personal intelligence. SO I read ravenously, I research everything, I absorb all the information I can to stay smart.
