Do not think of today's failures,but of the success that may come tomorrow.You have set yourselves a difficult task,but you will succeed if you persevere;and you will find joy in overcoming obstacles.Remember, no effort that we make to attainsomething beautiful is ever lost.      - Helen Keller

Successful motivation involves:

• Getting people to do what you want them to do

• When you want them to do it

• The way you want them to do it

• Because they want to do it

For a moment, close your eyes and think

• With all your limbs intact how far you can go?

Are you just another person

who thinks about the future……or…..Are

you the person who wants to own it ?

• Everything begins with a thought…• What you think determines who you are…• Who you are determines what you do…• What you do often, becomes a habit…• Habits determine your lifestyle…• Lifestyle determines your destiny…• Your destiny determines your legacy.

MOTIVATIONMotivation is a Journey, not a Destination

Positive and negative Motivation

Sometimes a distinction is made between positive and negative motivation. Positive motivation is a response which includes enjoyment and optimism about the tasks that you are involved in. Negative motivation involves undertaking tasks because there will be undesirable outcomes, e.g.. failing a subject, if tasks are not completed.
