Motivation!

Newton derived that gravity was nothing when compared to his motivation to answer that apple-fall!

Motivation!! It is one of the main driving forces! To drink a cup of water you are motivated by thirst...to derive the impossible in your research you are motivated by knowledge! Even the most trivial action is motivated by some small thought!

Psychology texts define motivation as

* internal state or condition that activates behavior and gives it direction;
* desire or want that energizes and directs goal-oriented behavior;
* influence of needs and desires on the intensity and direction of behavior.
* the arousal, direction, and persistence of behavior.

Motivations direct those scattered thoughts! It organizes and processes our goal-oriented behavior!

How and where do one find this motivation!?

Often in this real world, we come across small factors that influence our every action!! For example, the main motivation for this brain drain across the continent was knowledge, money and respect. The motivation to stay in touch with current affairs is again, knowledge or not-stay-dumb factors! The motivation to make new friends is exploration and understanding! These kinds of factors that influence our thought process keeps changing based on the necessities and luxuries! However, the fundamental reason will always remain the same! That’s the main motivation factor. If one can find that fundamental in every work you do, the motivation automatically leaps high! It boils down to your passion.. at work, life or both. For instance, if your passion is knowledge you won’t be motivated to do the same thing again and again! Once you reach a saturation limit, there is no room for the developmental knowledge!! in that case you shift gears to another area. So, the best way to be the best in whatever you do is to find the fundamental and stick on to it!

May be all of us are motivated by happiness and peace more than anything else!! Are we forgetting to realize those in our lives by working hard to save for the generations to come!?! May be we are! How incoherent!!
