What is the most interesting idea in human motivation?

Question

Answer 1

you can only motivate yourself... and you can only inspire other people to motivate themselves

Answer 2

On human motivation one must read - Maslow's hierachy of needs. I find it most relavant in in case. Though there are many other theories on human motivation after Maslow's theory, this stands high. It gives five steps - Physiological needs, Safety and security needs, social needs (love & belongingness), Self esteem and self actualisation.

In your case (and most of us) the first two needs are satisfied on most occassions. Thus, the remaining three come into existance. You should have friends and colleague who would satisfy your social needs (love and belongingness), You should have your own life values and activities supporting your values for satisfying your self esteem needs. You should be introspecting to satisfy your self actualization needs.

As far as motivation others is concerned, it should start only when you are motivated. Leading by example is the best way to motivate others.

Pain is the best motivaton or at least the fear of it, usless you have BiPolar then only sometimes does pain work.

Just having fun, but really it is all about pain. Real pain or the worry that you might have pain. Emotional pain, hunger pain, pain from others, ego pain, etc... people are motivated to do things to avoid pain and when they hit a certain level they enjoy the pleasure of not having pain.

Biological need, and emotional desire are the strongest internal motivators.
