Discussions in other threads got me to thinking ...
Uh-oh! Fnord's thinking again!
... about what motivates different people to fail, to succeed, or to just get through the day. For example, what motivates me is the visceral urge to prove my childhood bullies and detractors wrong. Even though most of them have passed away, I still feel the need to keep going, to do my best, and to "take the prize" (whatever it may be) just so they have no reason to ever again tell me that I'm only a loser who would never make it on his own, who would never have friends, and who would never enjoy life above the poverty level.
(Sometimes I also feel the urge to go and p*** on their graves, but that's another story.)
So what motivates you?
(Please try to keep your replies on a positive note. If you want to complain and be miserable, then please start your own thread. Thank you.)
