Motivation

How much motivation takes part in our daily lives? We generally don't notice it because of everyday work involving our struggle. Mo matter how intellectual, talented you are, without motivation, energy and little bit of vision you won't lead a life which you dream of.

We trend make our day based on routine and past experience. Failure in past damages our confidences to bottom. This is where motivation -- self or induced (like religious following, mentor )  plays big role. How we tackle moment of depression is most important decision of life. If we remain remorseful, eventually we will lead to abyss of depression while remaining cheerful and motivated at least can reduce ill effect of depression as well as give us second chance to do something.

Generally we are very realistic person and try to see things or events in very practical purpose but we notice few optimistic things  in world and even pessimistic can feel optimistic. Be it story of handicapped achieving success at work, sport etc or some poor student achieving   great success at academic circle.

Recently I came across similar type of story of motivation. One of my cousin who studied in remote ancestral village is flying to USA for job! I know now a days going to work abroad is not a big deal with information technology, but which path someone follows is key. Someone has personal link, business contacts  etc. but with my cousin everything was self made .. lost her father while she was studying, so not much family support. Manage her own marriage etc, lost abroad opportunity because of .com burst, but she never stopped, she kept on working and motivating her self and now she is in USA.

Her path could have been anything but this one if she had lost her motivation at any struggling period of her life and could have ended up in my own ancestral village worrying about shortage of water!!

Self Motivation

Double century by Tendulkar in ODI, records and Sachin goes hand in hand.Watching him now a days breaking records is routine, he uses his skills and expertise in a such a perfection that everything he does on ground looks easy and can anybody can do it with minimum risk.

How he manage to do that for last 20 years? He has achieved everything which anybody can just dream of.
He is famous, rich and young. I know so many rich trying to be famous or other way round. Being in top of world in cricketing world he never felt that he has conquered everything in cricket. Skills apart, how is mind gets ready to repeatedly achieve what he does.

I think reason is, he is very self motivated and supreme confidence about ability of his craft. We lack
most of the time in both areas. One can have little shaky confidence but if he not able to self motivate himself
then he is doomed to fail. No wonder we see people like Tendulkar rising again and again in their defeat and
we marvel how they managed to come out of lean patch or injuries.
