Motivation can do wonders. It was this M factor only which made people like Edison come up with success after 1028 failed attempts and made Obama win a Nobel prize, but is motivation really possible? The answer to this question according to me is yes.

According to me the personality and the character of a human being defines whether one can be motivated or not. There are tons of examples to support the fact that motivation is possible.Each and every phase of life, throws a challenge. There is no end to the competition and hence the motivation levels one can take oneself to, but the basic fact remains that motivation is the by-product of a goal. Unless one has a goal, a zeal to achieve, a point to prove motivation doesn't really exists. One has to motivate himself day in and day out until he reaches the finish line where he wants to reach. One can be motivated by noticing an activity as was Alexander when he saw a spider failing 100 times before succeeding to climb a wall or it can be his inner zeal for a goal which he wants to achieve as are the likes of Michael Schumacher who practice every day at a horrifying speed of 350 Kmph just to remain no. 1 in the world.. It inturn is a factor of how much intensity one has towards the goal he wants to achieve and how much is he ready to sacrifice for the cause. If a person is ready to dedicate himself, motivation just comes automatically.

"One can never consent to creep when one feels the impulse to soar." It's motivation only which has made great things possible and has produced leaders, scientists and unforgettable personalities.
