On this note, as an individual which do you think is the strongest motivation,should we say it is,
- self motivation or
- a second party motivation?
Let's share your idea.
Although siblings, parents, or other family members can motivate someone as well, what motivates me the most is when I see someone achieve a common goal in a very meaningful way that is not illegal. That always serves as motivation to me in order to keep trying and also get what that person has got. Self motivation today causes some people to give up when they see they keep trying but they didn't get what they want. However, even if someone tried to motivate you and you lack self-motivation, I doubt it would work since you would feel like, as an adult, no one could force you to do something you didn't want to.
Particularly if he received a certificate from school attesting to his success. I realize that our fates are different, but when one person achieves success, it inspires others to keep working hard until they, too, reach their goals.
