• Define Motivation

Motivation is a drive that encourages an action or a feeling. motivate means to encourage and inspire. Motivation can also mean igniting the spark for action. Motivation is powerful. It can persuade, convince and propel you into action. In other words, motivation can be defined as motive for action. It is a force that can literally change your life.

Why do we need to get motivated

Motivation is the driving force in our lives. It comes from a desire to succeed. Without success there is little pride in life; no enjoyment or excitement at work or at home. Life becomes like a lopsided wheel giving a bumpy ride. The greatest enemy of motivation is complacency. Complacency leads to lack of effort and when people are complacent they don't grow because they cannot identify what is needed in their lives.

• How does Motivation work 

Once you understand what causes motivation, you can motivate yourself and achieve your goals-and you can inspire others too. Your internal motivation is your drive and attitude. It is contagious. Your attitudes are the key to getting the response you want from others. How does a person stay motivated and focused? One important tool that has been used by athletes for a long time is auto-suggestion. Auto-suggestions are positive statements made in the present tense and repeated regularly. In'other words, it is positive self-talk. For example, let's say you're just starting a new job. Several times each day you might say to yourself, "I teel more and more confident every day."

• Diffrence between Inspiration And Motivation

Inpiration is thinking and motivation is action. People an be inspired to motivate themselves. An environment can be created that is motivating. In order to inspire people to motivate themselves we need to understand their needs and wants. What is the greatest motivator? Is it money? Recognitión? Improvement in our quality of life? Acceptance by those we love? All of these can be motivating forces. Every behavior comes out of the 'pain or gain' principle. If the pain is greater than the gain, that is a deterrent to action. If the gain is greater than the pain, that is a motivator. Gains can be tangible, such as monetary rewards, vacations and gifts. They can also be intangible/emotional such as recognition, appreciation, sense of achievement, growth, responsibility, sense of fulfillment, self-worth, accomplishment and belief. Motivation is like fire-unless you keep adding fuel to it, it dies. Your fuel is your belief in your inner values. When this belief in inner values feeds your motivation your motivation becomes long lasting. 

• External Motivation (Incentive Motivation)

External motivation comes from outside. Examples of external motivators are money, societal approval, fame.External motivation can also take the form of incentives, bonuses, commission, recognition and so forth. The major advantage of incentive motivation is that it works very well as long as the incentive is strong enough. Think of a donkey with a carrot dangling in front and pulling a cart behind. Incentive motivation will only work if the donkey is hungry enough, the carrot is sweet enough and the load is light enough. If the combination is missing, incentive motivation will not work. From time to time, you have to let the donkey take a bite of the carrot; otherwise it is going to get discouraged. Also after the donkey takes a bite or its stomach is full, you may need to wait for the donkey to get hungry again before it will pull the cart. This same cycle is typically seen in our business environment. 

• Internal Motivation 

The greatest motivator is belief. People will do a lot for money, more for a good leader, but most for a belief. In the United States, Middle-East, Far-East, anywhere people are willing to die for a belief, for no money. In Thailand there are groups of people who pierce their cheeks with bamboos without anesthesia. Human rights would call it torture but they do it voluntarily. In India, there are groups of people who put tor steel rous on their tongues, hooks on their bodies and they walk on fire. Human rights would call it torture but they do it voluntarila. What is it? Belief. The most important thing is that Belief is the greatest motivator, but remember, a false belief is also a belief. When we believe that vre are responsible for our lives and our behavior, our outlook towards life changes for the better. 

• Short story base on the motivation

There was a young boy who came regularly lo football practice but never made it to the 'A Team'. While he was practicing, his father would sit at the far end of the field, waiting for him. For four days, the boy didn't show up for practice. The matches had begun and his team was playing the finals. He showed up for the finals and went up to the coach and said, "Coch, you have always kept me in the reserves and never let me play in the matches. But today, please let me play." The coach said "Son, I'm sorry, I can't let you play. There are better players than you and besides, it is the finals; the reputation of the school is at stake and I cannot take a chance." The boy pleaded, "Coach, I promise I will not let you down. Please let me play." The coach had never seen the boy plead like this before. He said, "OK son, go play. But remember, I am going against my better judgment and the reputation of the school is at stake. Don't let me down." The started and the boy played like a ball on fire. Every time he got the boll, he shot a goal. Needless to say he was the star of the game and his team won When the game finished, the coach went up to him and said, "Son, how could I have been so wrong in my life? I have never seen you play like this before and I don't think you've played like this before either. What happened? How did you play this way today?"

We are all Motivated Either positively OR Negatively..........(story of two brothers)

Everyone is motivated including the person who wants to do nothing He is motivated to do nothing . I heard a story of two brothers One was a drug addict and a drunkard who frequently beat up his family. The other was a very successful businessman who was respected in society and had a wonderful family How could two brothers raised by the same parents, brought up in the same environment, be so differentt The first brother was asked, "What makes you do what you do? You are a drug addict, a drunk and you beat your family. Where do you get your motivation from? He said, "My father." He was asked, "What about your fother?" He said, 'My father was a drug addict, a drunk and he beat his family. What do you expect me to be? That is what I am. The second brother was asked, "How come you are doing everything right? Where do you get your motivation from" And guess what he said? "My father. When I was a litle boy, I used to see my dad drunk and doing all the wrong things I made up my mind that is not what I wanted Both brothers derived their motivation from the same source, but one was using it positively and the other negatively. Negative motivation brings the desire to take the easier way which ends up being the tougher way.
