 At a simple level, it seems obvious that people do
things, such as go to work, in order to get stuff they
want and to avoid stuff they don't want.

what they don't is still something a mystery. It's a black
box and it hasn't been fully penetrated.

12. “Why My Horse Doesn’t Drink”
 Newton’s First Law of (Motivation) Motion
 Every body persists in its state of rest or uniform
motion in astraight - line, unless it is compelled to
change that state by force impressed on it.
 “Human beings too, do not change their state of
affairs
 unless a force is applied on them. People do not
take initiative or an action until they are
compelled to do so”.

13.  Newton’s Second Law of (Motivation) Motion
 The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional
to the
 applied force and takes place in the direction in which the
force
 acts.
 “The mass (individual’s competence) remains constant, it
is the
 person’s desire/interest (the velocity) decides the extent of
his
 success. More the desire and interest towards a particular
job;
 better is his chance of success”.

14. Motivation and Need Satisfaction

15. Accelerator vs.. Brake
 “Motivation is like an accelerator in a vehicle. A
vehiclekeeps moving at the pace decided by its
accelerator.
 The moment accelerator is reduced, vehicle’s speed
 reduces and it may come to a standstill if there is no
 further acceleration. Alternatively, if brakes are
applied,
 there will be an abrupt reduction in the speed of the
 vehicle and it may come to a standstill….

24. Don't
compare
yourself with
any one in
this world.
If you compare,
you are insulting
yourself.

25. No one will
manufacture a
lock without a
key.
Similarly God won't
give problems
without solutions.

26. Life laughs at
you when you are
unhappy...
Life smiles at you when
you are happy...
Life salutes you when
you make others happy...

27. Every successful person has
a painful story.
Every painful story has a
successful ending.
Accept the pain and
get ready for success.

28. Be bold when you loose
and be calm when you
win.
Heated gold becomes
ornament. Beaten copper
becomes wires. Depleted
stone becomes statue. So the
more pain you get in life you
become more valuable.
