Motivator

At lunch today a friend told me about the motivation “scheme” her husband had devised for their son in his senior year of high school. The son had a D average in physics although he really understood physics concepts. He just didn’t study. The parents hired a tutor, a young man who needed money. The son worked with the tutor two or three times a week for a few months, and he raised his physics grade to a B+ by getting As on all his remaining tests. What made the student actually try so hard to accomplish such a difficult task? The parents told their son that, if he raised his grade to a B, the tutor would get a bonus of $1,000. Liking the tutor and knowing how much he could use the bonus, the student was invested in working hard – and he pulled off the deal. (I’m p

"Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A 'you can do it' when things are tough." -Richard M. DeVos, Co-founder of Amway, Richard M. DeVos books//I'm a very strong believer in the power of praise to influence behavior in others. As leaders, it is important to let people know the things that they do right and encourage them to repeat behaviors that produce good results.I really like the book How Full is Your Bucket by Tom Rath and Donald O. Clifton (Click here to purchase it). The book uses the metaphor of filling a bucket to illustrate the importance and impact of filling other people's souls with praise and positivity. Think you're good at filling buckets? Take the Positive Impact Test to see if you're right.Many people h

I would like to touch on a topic that has not really been emphasized on. It seems like the best fat loss exercise motivator comes not from the mind but from a person’s vanity. And I feel it is much needed for people nowadays to discuss more and more about the right, and the [...]

Motivation is such a mystery. Why does one salesperson see his first prospect at seven in the morning and another salesperson is just getting out of bed at eleven? Every body has different ‘factors’ that motivate them. Give a lecture to a thousand people. One walks out and says,”I am going to change my life.” [...]

What Are You Passionate About? Have you ever experienced passion? My simple definition of passion is that desire that no matter what gets in your way you'll find a solution around it so you can get to your end result. The dictionary definition: a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything such as passion for dancing. How do you create passion?

The other day I decided to do a little experiment in productivity. I knew that I would have a free day to myself, with no responsibility to anyone. It would not have been possible to keep up with every task, time limit and priority unless I had someone pushing me. I’m not the type of person that needs a personal motivator to get me up and running, I do well on my own, but when you have an absolutely flexible schedule it opens up many opportunities to waste time. If you think you need some extra management for your free time, I’ve got a great method to obtain a motivator, free of charge. The title was a bit of a gimmick to get your attention. There won’t actually be a person coming over your house to motivate you, but now that you’re here I hope you’ll forgive me. Let me tell you what I mean and how it works. Time logging I had a small note pad with me at all times. I recorded every significant move that I made; this included commuting, class, eating, study

We can't deny that today's modern life is full of stress and pressure that will lead to frustration and the main theme that I am centering today, anger. I may not be a psychologist to write about this but as usual I will convey about it MY WAY.Anger often sneaks into a person without being noticed. Failure to do something, low self esteem or simply to get attention may lead to anger. We often say that a people with patience will have good anger management but I doubt it, mainly because anger can be mounted and once it reaches it's limit, it will erupt vigorously, meaning that it will be scarier...My context is saying that people that can turn anger into action is those with good anger management. This might be justified wrongly since the 'action' I meant may be those negative and violence behaviour. Yes, it is true that action that turned out from anger are mostly violent because many does that.Why not start having a different mind set today? Turn your anger into motivator, a spri
