MOTIVATION

This can be described as a zest or a drive that pushes

one to achieve greater heights. Getting somebody to

do something because they want to do it.

Motivation is not only about monetary incentives but

the way the employee is treated at the workplace,

working environment, development of skills, change

management, work life balance, workload and general

worklife of that employee.

7 RULES OF SELF-MOTIVATION

Set a major goal, but follow a path. The path has mini goals that go inmany directions. When you learn to succeed at mini goals, you will bemotivated to challenge grand goals.

Finish what you start. A half finished project is of no use to anyone.

Quitting is a habit. Develop the habit of finishing self-motivatedprojects

Socialize with others of similar interest. Mutual support is motivating.

We will develop the attitudes of our five best friends. If they arelosers, we will be a loser. If they are winners, we will be a winner.

Learn how to learn. Dependency on others for knowledge supportsthe habit of procrastination. Man has the ability to learn without

instructors. In fact, when we learn the art of self-education we willfind, if not create, opportunity to find success beyond our wildestdreams.

CONT

Harmonize natural talent with interest that motivates.Natural talent creates motivation, motivation creates

persistence and persistence gets the job done.

Increase knowledge of subjects that inspires. The

more we know about a subject, the more we want to

learn about it. A self-propelled upward spiral develops.

Take risk. Failure and bouncing back are elements of

motivation. Failure is a learning tool. No one has eversucceeded at anything worthwhile without a string of

failures.
