If you want to accomplish anything in life, you can't just sit back and hope it will happen. You've got to make it happen.

I was discussing with a principal of a school on how to make students score high marks in the exam. He was repeatedly saying that we should do something so that the students are self motivated. He was repeatedly saying that self motivation alone would be sufficient to make the students responsible.
I agreed and disagreed with him!
I agreed with him that self motivation is important, but disagreed with him that it alone will not produce the result if the students are not guided and coached systematically. In a few months from now we will all be watching the Olympics. All the Olympic sports people are highly motivated. But all of them have their own coaches who guide them how to display their full potential. The coaches put them on a strict work schedule and will ensure that the Olympian follows the same. Similarly the Olympians have their own nutrition experts who decide what and when the Olympian should eat and drink. If the Olympians do not follow this discipline, no matter how much internal motivation they have, the Olympic dream will burst like a soap bubble!
Over this weekend, audit if your motivation is supported by good work habits and daily schedules to ensure success in life.
