What drives you to succeed?
What is it that makes you get up every day, go to work, and if your so inclined, be successful.
I am asking for 2 reasons, one to help me find the motivation to get up everyday through the illness and financial collapse.
AND
To help me understand why the politicians are NOT getting anywhere. If I understand this, perhaps I will not be so frustrated with the lack of movement in Washington.
So what Drives you?
Is it curiosity? For a long time in my career, it was the curiosity of what next. What can we do to improve technology next. Infrared, wireless, RFID, processing speeds, what was it? I could not wait to see what was next I loved it. I loved going to my job everyday, I loved working with the research teams at IBM and HP. I LOVED IT. I would have been there every waking hour, if I thought I would learn more. I Loved working with some of the greatest minds of our times, the thought patterns of the true genius is not like yours or mine, it is non linear, non confined, I LOVED IT. I have a hard time finding this motivation sick everyday, confined as I am.
So....What Drives you?
Is it Money? Recognition? Power? What drives you, and since we are all here with nicknames, be honest. For me all of these things came with the curiosity. Until I got too sick to work anymore.
If we understand this, about ourselves, we may understand what drives the Political animal we call Senator and Congress person. Are they driven by the same motivators we are? Will they ever see us as a driver for their decision? Or is their drive, need, for success and power in a direct opposition or our needs?
Wonder if I can poll not just blogs, but our elected officials themselves. Have to noodle that one out.
