Just finished typing a message to one of the members of this board when it struck me that the question is applicable to everyone.
I'm interested in knowing what is the thing that wakes you up in the morning; the source of that fire in your belly; the reason why you want to excel in what you're doing?
What:
- moved you to take action instead of procrastinating once more?
- wakes you up in the morning and propels you into action?
- drives you to seek and exploit opportunities as it arises?
I'll go first. My motivation is two-fold:
1- My father and mother have worked very hard to get me where I am today - they moved to a foreign country and provided me with food, shelter and an education. They've also blessed me with an inquisitive mind (i.e. one that does not accept the status quo). I want to return them this favor by making them financially independent.
2- I feel that my gift to society is in translating ideas into companies. As an implication of this I'll strive to provide people with meaningful jobs and give them as much responsibility as they want. With any surplus cash that I'll generate I want to invest into the people that are driven to better the world. What do I mean by that? The woman that has transformed her farm into a dog shelter, the family that has set-up schools for homeless kids in some poverty stricken country etc.
Whilst typing my thoughts I've realized that the answer to this question touches the core of your personality. If you know what drives you; you can distill your purpose in life from it.
