What is your Human Motivation?

Posted on 4 March, 2011 at 11:45 PM by with Leave a Comment

When I ask people to participate, not many people would want to.

But if I will to say, anybody who participates in the game or questions will have $50. Immediately, everyone starts to wake up, because there is a strong and interesting motivation.

Human beings behave the same. If they are not motivated, they will not participate and not cooperate with you. However, if both of you are having the same goal. Then you will see the motivation spikes up. The atmosphere starts to change.

Take for another example, a salesperson. The sales person is only keen to make sales in order to sustain his/her position in the company.  He/she is not keen in your internal affairs. Where there is opportunity to make sales, he/she will be there. Thus if you are interested to buy products/services from a salesperson, his/her service to you will be fantastic. He/she will give you all the information that you need so that it gives you the ease to buy service/products from him/her. Of course some salespeople will be-friend with you so that you can refer more deals to him/her.

Lessons Learned: Different people will have various interests / motivation to obtain certain objectives. Some interest is to sustain their employment position while some interest is to gain more power in the company. Whatever the motivation is, let’s achieve it.

Job vs Career

Posted on 17 July, 2009 at 10:00 AM by with

Do you know the difference between a “job” and a “career”?

According to the dictionary, a “job” is defined as “a paid position of employment and something one has to do, a responsibility.” Interestingly enough, the root word for “job” is, humorously, an Old English word that means “a lump.” The reference is to a quantity, a “lump” of work, so to speak. As it applies to our topic, it is one distinct and unrelated period of employment in a series of jobs one may have.

A “career,” on the other hand, comes from Middle French and stems from an earlier word for “car” — and then “street.” So, a career is a path. The dictionary defines it as “an occupation, a way of making a living, especially with opportunities for advancement or promotion, and progress through life.” It is a journey – a career pathway.

These definitions are nice and dandy – but what do they mean to you?

Time versus Wealth

Posted on 10 July, 2009 at 10:00 AM by with

Time is life and there are 3 main stages in our lives.

When we are young and still under 25 years of age, we all have our dreams.
As we grow up, we are taught that if we want to be successful, we have to work hard.

We see our parents working very hard.
Our teachers tell us that if we want to do well, we need to study hard.
It is no wonder for many people, life becomes very hard.

As we grow older, our dreams start to fade and become more distant.
Dreams become less possible and seem harder to achieve and as time goes by, some of us begin to give up on them.
When you are 25 and you are out there working, reality begins to set in.

We see some of our friends becoming rich and they do not seem to have to work hard.
We console ourselves by saying, “They must be lucky”.
We begin to question ourselves: why is this happening and what went wrong?
We get demotivated and we do our job mechanically: we wake up in the morning, go to work, eat, sleep, wake up, and go back to work.

The cycle repeats itself. If we do well in a job, we get a pat on the back but if we do not, we get kicked in the butt.
We just continue to exist.
We live pass time, having nothing to look forward to except our upcoming retirement.

Ask yourself: How can you expect to achieve greater heights if you do not change what you are doing now?
The greatest insanity is to do the same thing every day and expect different results.
If we want a change in life, we must change our life.
