What's my motivation?

Motivation is what gets us up in the morning and through the door.

"Maslow's hierarchy of needs", is covered in college and is an interesting way of looking at what motivates everyone. 
Everyone has a different motivation factor depending on the person's personality. 
For a government or corporation to deem that everyone has the same motivational factors it is the beginning of the end for that organization.
What motivates you is probably much different than what motivates me.  What motivates a child is far different from what motivates an adult (usually unless it is a guy who still like to roll play and needs instant gratification)
Never assume that just because you have known a person your whole life means you understand what makes that person really happy...to find what motivates that person....you find what makes that person Happy.
