For instance: An individual has not eaten, he or she feels hungry, as a response he or she eats and diminishes feelings of hunger"<br />Now, following the above, this can be understood by various people in different innovative ways.<br />For me personally, I would say anything that keeps one happy (I refer to eternal happiness) here be it spending quality time with your partner, family, kids or which gives me a push (be it going to a disc, owning a bungalow, going to a dream holiday or any materialistic pleasure) which ultimately leads to happiness (refer to external happiness) here can be defined motivation (Open for debate though)ambikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04828953006455312130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119000.post-5032466951857673252008-03-13T22:28:00.000+05:302008-03-13T22:28:00.000+05:30Are you an aquarian, Kaushik?I can personally iden...Are you an aquarian, Kaushik?<BR/><BR/>I can personally identify with a lot of what you said (being wiser 2 years after the original post!).<BR/><BR/>Living to make a positive mark on others' lives (friends, family, colleagues, customers, or just tha world at large), is supposed to be a singularly aquarian trait!Smoochyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15493520112643765542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119000.post-24205083054767729072006-09-25T18:55:00.000+05:302006-09-25T18:55:00.000+05:30Well put...

Motivators vary from people to people... <br /><br />Let me tell u my idea of motivation...<br /><br />I think...what motivates me is "Living for others". It does not necessarily mean that I dont want happiness in my own life, but working for something which will affect others lives, motivates me... it could be an indivdual who seeks assistance in kind or in cash...it could be my family... it could be my workplace... it could be starting a new venture and affecting people's (employees, customers, etc.) lives in a positive manner... it could be even people whom I dont know at all...<br /><br />Sounds too philosophical... but ya... I live for others... though its easier said than done... but I definitely try... I would go any extent to help others... Its the happiness in thier mind, brought by my small contribution, is what motivates me.<br /><br />Hope you got an answer but ofcourse our point of view might be different.<br /><br />SabuiKaushikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728347103304965258noreply@blogger.com
