There are two type of motivation, instrinsic and extrinsic
motivation.
$$ is an extrinsic motivation, external kind of motivation,
although this kind of motivation do really motivate a person up,
but it will not last long, once $$ is gone or no more relevant, the
motivation factor start to decrease. It can come from everything,
from pax tips to companies policy, example if a cab company offer a
good rental price with rebates, people are motivated, because $$ is
involved, they can save more, but as times goes by, with increase
in fuel prices, lowering of rebates, high cost of living, peoples
start to find it normal and the motivation factor start to
depreciate.
Family, emotion and mindset form the instrinc kind of
motivation, this type of motivation last very long, because there
is something permanently to look forward to, the mindset and
emotion get motivate whenever that something and not money is
attained. Like example, our Pool, his motivation derives from
wanting his family to live good, happy and togetherness, very good
indeed. So, for him, a strike a good balance between driving and
family time. Money is of course also important, but it come
secondary in comparing to his family. By caring and making his
family as a motivation factor in his heart, he ultimately will have
to motivate himself look for money and do other neccessary
thing to support the family. And as long as his inner mind is
motivate by his family, he most likely stay motivated.
We as TD, should therefore put instrinic motivation as our tool
in our daily driving, and extrinsic motivation as secondary,
meaning to say, if have $$ is of course good, do not have, also
nevermind, as long as we drive for our family and oursleves, we are
motivated.
Very well said Bro. I'll remember.
