10 KeyS to Ultimate Success

~PART 1~

KEY 1 MOTIVATION

"The driving force of human behavior"

Motivation comes from Latin word "motere" which means "to move"
Webster's dictionary defines motivation as doing something that causes a person to act.If you look at the word motivation you could read as "motive-action".It is an action that is cause by a motive.

Let me tell you a story.A young man sought out a Chinese monk to learn the secret of success.He asked" Could you please tell me the secret of success?" The monk quitely said "Motivation". "Where motivation comes from?" "From your burning desire",reply the monk.Puzzled, the young man asked"How can someone has a burnig desire?"Then the monk brought a pot of water and put both hands on the young man's head and push it into the water.The young man was shocked and for first few second,scarely moved.Then he began to move a little to free himself but as he ran out of oxygen,he struggled violently and succeed freeing himself.He looked at the monk and demanded,"What are you doing?" Smilling,the monk asked," What did you learn from this experience?" "Nothing",the young man answered."Oh no,you learned a lot.For the first few seconds you wanted to free yourself.You were motivated to do so but not enough.The following second.you were motivated to free yourself but still not enough.And then in the final second when you have a burning desire to free yourself,you became unstoppable.Then and only then you succed in freeing yourself" With a smile he said ,"When you have the burning desire to succed,no one can stop you and that's the secret of success"



3 types of motivation


1) SURVIVAL MOTIVATION

Survival motivation pushes you to fulfil the primary needs such as food,water and oxygen.If one of these missing,a primary drive within you fires various neural center in your brain .As the neural cell fire rapidly,you become arously physically and motivated to do whatever to takes to satisfy the need.Sounds complicated? Let me gives you an example:

Imagine that you are crossing a highway after making sure that there are no cars coming but as you are walking slowly,you notice a big truck coming toward you,what would you do? Run,right?
Let's say you go back home after a long day of work and have no energy to do anything.You decide to stretch out,watching television and relax.Suddenly you hear someone screaming,"Fire!!!" What would you do? Run,right? So,what happened to your energy? It became powerful.

So no matter what's going on in your life,when your survival is threatened,you became alert,creative nad more motivated.


2)EXTERNAL MOTIVATION


This type of motivation comes from the outside of the world,from the speakers at seminar,friends,family members,magazine and book,etc.The problem with external motivation is that it fades quickly.

Let me asked you a question.Have you ever been to a motivation seminar? If your answer is yes,then how motivated were you one weeks later? How about a month later?Of course your level of motivation dropped.

Unfortunately human being rely a great deal on external motivation to feel appreciated by their teacher,friends,family members.We want the approval of others.We want to be appreciated and we want people to think highly of us to validate our self-worth.So sometime we'll do things we don't really want to do and say thing we don't want to say.


3) INTERNAL MOTIVATION


The most powerful and lasting.With internal motivation you are driven by your own inner forces to acomplish great result.

This is the power of internal motivation.There was a woman with 5 children who was very close to her husband.She took good care of him,the children,the house.But she was faced with great challenge when her husband left her for another woman.Instead of sitting around crying and wondering why he left,she found work as a maid in a small motel.And less than 5 years she owned it.Again she was driven by her inner power.

Internal motivation is what causes an ordinary person to do extraordinary thing and achieve great result.It is the power behind the success and happiness of human being.It is the driving force of human behaviour.It is the power that will push you to plant your own garden instead of waiting someone to give you flowers.

Internal motivation is the light that comes from within.It is the sleeping giant inside of you that is waiting to be awakened.
