“A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.”

Ayn Rand 

A great life depends on the right perspective. Thinking that life would always be a smooth sail becomes a source of trouble when things start taking strange courses. Nothing is wrong in expecting positive things; however, people should be ready to face the high tide when it eventually tends to knock at the silent shores. Ayn Rand so nicely explains the need to take initiative under such circumstances and plan a takeoff at the right earnest.

Motivate your teamAntoine de Saint-Exupéry, the famous French writer, journalist, poet, aviator, and an aristocrat, opines, “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.” Well, anyone would find enough substance and the elements of positive motivation in his statement. After all, if one could provide the clear picture of the dream to pursue, its enormity and significance as well, chances are that the team would think of novel ways to do individual tasks related to that particular dream. On the other hand, assigning tasks without motivating the team is like asking them to follow their mind without them being sure about the clarity of purpose.
