Motivating Yourself and Others can do Wonders

Motivation is the source of power in our lives. It turns up from a craving to accomplish something. Without success there is little gratification in life; no satisfaction or enthusiasm at work and at home. Life becomes like a lopsided wheel giving you a bumpy ride. Let us take a look at those factors which have an effect on motivation.

Factors which may Demotivate
Have you ever wondered why people shift from an initially motivated stage to demotivated? Let’s take a look into some of the Demotivating factors:

My Child is Doing Fine but the Biggest Problem is Education

A few days back I was listening to a colleague of mine. He was saying that he thinks the educational system is great. He enjoyed school and did perfectly and he also mentioned that his son is also just like him. His son loves going to school and is at the top of his class. “Some university is going to be fortunate to get him. His career and future is very bright. I don’t understand why people are complaining so much. I think the education system is doing an outstanding job.”

Courtesy and Manners -- Put into Practice on a Daily Basis

Courtesy is nothing more than consideration for others. It opens doors that would not otherwise open. A courteous person, who is not very astute, will go further in life than an ill-mannered or discourteous but sharp person. It is the little things that make a big difference. Have you ever been bitten by a whale? The most apparent answer is no. Have you ever been bitten by a mosquito? Most of us have. It is the little nuisances that test your endurance. Courtesy is made of nothing more than loads of small gifts.

Reality May Not Always Be What You Want to Hear

Honesty means to be authentic and real opposed to fake and fabricated. Build a repute of being trustworthy. If there is one thing that built by any kind of relationship at home, at work, or socially, it is honesty. Not keeping commitment amounts to deceitful behavior. Honesty instigates openness, trustworthiness and forthrightness. It shows respect for one’s self and others. Honesty is in being, not in appearing to be. Lies may have momentum but truth has continued existence. Integrity is not found in any company catalog or title but in a person’s character.

Character

Character is the sum total of a person’s principles, attitude and qualities. It is exposed in our behavior and in our dealings. It needs to be preserved above the most precious jewel in the world. To be a winner requires character. It is not the polls or public opinion but the character of the leader that shapes the course of history. There is no twilight zone in honesty. The path to success has many drawbacks. It takes loads of character and sweat not to fall into them. It also takes character not to be dismayed by critics.

A Good Beginning Does makes a Good Ending

Any Strength over unmitigated becomes a flaw. For instance, in sales, good speaking skill is a good strength. It is not unusual to see sale people with speaking ability talk too much and talk themselves out of the sales. Their strength got them into it; however, overextended, it turned out to be a weakness and they lose the sales. Listening is strength. Overextended, on the other hand, it could mean that a person listens a lot but does not speak adequate. It develops into a weakness.

Our greatest weak spot can become our greatest strength

Vulnerable Minds

Vulnerable minds get prejudiced by adult behavior and deeds and the media. Peer pressure has an effect on not only children and adolescents; it is also ubiquitous in adults. It shows a lack of confidence when people do not have the nerves to say “No, thank you,” and excuse themselves from negative influences. Now, let us take a look at these negative influences?
