How do you define MOTIVATION and DRIVE?
467044
Motivation is what drives people. Motivation is developed and never comes through genes. Motivation comes when you know that achieving something can fulfill a certain need. Therefore, first develop a need or desire for something (say name, fame, money, or may be someone to love). When you have the need, you will find the motivation to achieve it (it will drive you towards your goal).

I think laziness is lack of motivation.  Find things that motivate you, people can also motivate you.  Get inspired, get motivated, you can do it.

You have to first think back to a time when you felt most proud of yourself, and use that for whatever may come. If that doesn't work for you, then you should look at the present. You want to be motivated to do something, and in order to do that you just need to do it. Much like doing the dishes. There is a huge pile to do, but you lack the motivation to do it. Maybe the result will inspire you. Once the dishes are done and cleaned, you can look back on that accomplishment. This may be from someone who hates doing the dishes, but does it to complete a chore. Think of what you need motivated as a game, when you're competing against yourself, the only winner is you.

The boss drives people; the leader coaches them. The boss depends on authority; the leader on good will. The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm. The boss says "I"; The leader says "WE". The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown. The boss says, "GO"; the leader says lets, "GO!

Laziness is the natural human condition.  Typically you fight it with inspiration - looking to something greater than mediocre human life.\n\nI say to find a goal.

1. Find something you love doing and go for it!\n\n2. If you have to do something you are not so keen on, you have to develop motivation by thinking of the goal or payoff you get from it.\n\nFor example, if you have to clean out the garage and have been putting it off, just imagine how you would feel when the garage is clean, the junk thrown away. What a relief you would feel. If you can see the desired objective, imagine it vividly, and make it seem real and concrete, you will be more inspired to do the necessary work to reach your goals.\n\n3. Define your goals specifically, your time frame, and the steps you have to take to reach your goals. Making your objectives specific and measureable go a long way in keeping you on track.\n\n4. Take small steps and celebrate each milestone toward your goal. For example, you want to reduce your wieght, but haven't been able to keep on a diet. Make a plan to reduce a few pounds each week, measure your progress on a chart, and celebrate your success on meeting each weekly goal (but not by eating, of course!).

Self-motivation is just another name for self-discipline. Those of us who are lacking in discipline like to think that we can motivate ourselves somehow so that we won't need so much discipline to pursue some course of action. But I'm afraid not.  Bottom line  is you just have to force yourself to do things sometimes when you don't feel motivated to do them.

You lack motivation. The soulution is not more discipline or forcing yourself to move , but to find something you really like, something that motivates you.

I was always told if you put your mind to it you can do anything. or you can do anything if you try hard enough. I believe this statement is partially true. Because sometimes your ambition is strong enuf, but you just are not able to do.  Sometimes though you are able, but just don't have the strong desire to actually do it. Like say you are wanting to quit smoking, you will fail if you don't have the ambition, drive or will power to quit. but say you were determined to learn how to do rocket science. YOu have the desire, but not the know how or opportunity.

my initial response was money, but i was wrong. people take it for granted, the more money they make. what motivates employees is satisfaction in their job, doing a job they like and is rewarding, feeling a sense of accomplishment, having other people rely on you and appreciate you. and  a little more than a pat on the back

Well, the plainest way to say this is that you don't improve motivation.'  You just get up and do.  In my opinion there are two basic ways of approaching everything; Enjoy yourself getting 'it' done now or being miserable and procastinating.  The sooner you get up and do something the sooner you realize that your good at it, it was fun, and surprisingly not that big of a deal.

There was a sociologist named Herzberg who did a big study on what works and what doesn't for motivating employees.  If you look him up online or at the library, I'm sure you'll find plenty of material for a great speech on motivation.
