Nobody knows


From some article in Forbes: by Steven Berglas, PhD: “After 20 years spent studying, coaching and writing about scores of entrepreneurs, I know this about all of them: They don't question their motivation; don't wonder whether or not they are taking risks; don't ask themselves, "Will this work?" Instead, they just act --passionately, indefatigably, in pursuit of a goal.” The big, unanswerable question is: WHY?? Nobody can tell you where motivation comes from – why one person is motivated and another is not. Can you teach a person to be motivated? Berglas claims that it’s got something to do with wanting to change the world. Ok, sure, but WHY??? The woman at left doesn’t know either. Don’t even bother to ask her.
