motivation

   Just reading the book " Motivate and Win". Good book.There are some thoughts which we normally do not think about it or in daily life we try to ignore it. Some of the points I like to ponder upon it


1. Challenges only motivates if you can win. Great thought. Challenges are required to go one step ahead. It is required to know the capability. But will challenge motivates a person if he fails continuously?? As an example a boy who is not able to pass in one subject, will it be good to challenge him to have 80% in that subject??
This is so simple to understand but still most of the parents could not understand this. It happens in many companies also. Some companies do some and other activities to give the challenge to the employers but as a result found, most of the time that helps to only those who are winning it. For others it may become reason for the frustration. Some appreciation, reward, recognization is necessary to get confident.


2. Everybody has a motivational fuse.
           
      Very important. Looks so simple to read it. everybody can be motivated. is it?? Many times we have heard saying that he or she is totally frustrated, negative. Only God can help him!!
A person may have a fuse but we don't know at what point it will ignite.so how to know it? how to know when person can be motivated? some may need a spark  to remain motivated. some may  need internal motivation. some may need parents's support. and some like me need a good book to keep motivated. But at all its a person's perspective. For some people it may be worst job humanity has ever created or may another taking on the same job with a different attitude will say and believe it is a great job
