You may have
missed my earlier Post where I shared the “Impact of Motivation” My new Post will make more sense to you if
you read previous one before reading this. Here I am sharing a gist of my older
post which says that there are two types of motivation, Intrinsic and
Extrinsic
motivation. It's important to understand that we all are not same; thus
effectively motivating your employees requires that you gain an understanding
of the different types of motivation. Each individual may have different
qualities which makes us special. Such an understanding will enable you to
better categorize your team members and apply the appropriate type of
motivation. You will find each member different and each member's motivational
needs will be varied as well. Some people respond best to intrinsic which means
"from within" and will meet any obligation of an area of their
passion. Quite the reverse, others will respond better to extrinsic motivation
which, in their world, provides that difficult tasks can be dealt with provided
there is a reward upon completion of that task. Try to become an expert in
determining which type will work best with which team members. There is a
possibility you may not be able to understand your peers correctly but don’t
lose your hope and try it again with more preparation. Below I shared few great
motivational speeches by some famous personalities. I guarantee you that once
you will be able to identify which kind of motivation is needed to encourage or
motivate your team or colleagues. Below speeches will definitely make an impact
and they will be a better employee or a human being.
Below are the 6 Best Speeches: - Each
personality shared his/her thoughts and helped us to be a successful in our
field.
Whether you’re a student walking across the graduation stage for a diploma
or someone bravely starting a new chapter in life, these commencement speech
excerpts deliver the motivation to keep pushing forward.
"What I wish for all of you—the bad as well as the good. Fall down.
Make a mess. Break something occasionally. Know that your mistakes are your own
unique way of getting to where you need to be. And remember that the story is
never over…. I will go now to make bigger mistakes and to embarrass this
fine institution even more."
—Conan O’Brien, Harvard University,
2000
"The world is more malleable than you think, and it’s waiting for you
to hammer it into shape. Now if I were a folksinger, I’d immediately launch
into “If I Had a Hammer” right now, get you all singing and swaying. But
as I say I come from punk rock, so I’d rather have the bloody hammer
right here in my fist. That’s what this degree of yours is, a blunt instrument.
So go forth and build something with it…. This is the time for bold measures.
This is the country, and you are the generation."
—Bono, University of Pennsylvania,
2004
"Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.
I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going [after being fired from
Apple] was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that
is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a
large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what
you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what
you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all
matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great
relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep
looking until you find it. Don’t settle."
—Steve Jobs, Stanford University,
2005
"What I’ve found is that difficulties come when you don’t pay
attention to life’s whisper, because life always whispers to you first. And if
you ignore the whisper, sooner or later you’ll get a scream. Whatever you
resist persists. But if you ask the right question—not why is this happening,
but what is this here to teach me—it puts you in the place and space to
get the lesson you need."
—Oprah Winfrey, Stanford University,
2008
"As you grow, you’ll realize the definition of success changes. For
many of you today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila. For
me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity
and not to give in to peer pressure to try to be something that you’re not, to
live your life as an honest and compassionate person, to contribute in some
way. So to conclude my conclusion, follow your passion, stay true to yourself.
Never follow anyone else’s path unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and
you see a path and by all means you should follow that."
—Ellen DeGeneres, Tulane University,
2009
"Look for opportunities; look for growth; look for impact; look
for mission. Move sideways; move down; move on; move off. Build your skills,
not your résumé. Evaluate what you can do, not the title they’re going to give
you. Do real work. Take a sales quota, a line role, an ops job. Don’t plan too
much, and don’t expect a direct climb. If I had mapped out my career when I was
sitting where you are, I would have missed my career."
—Sheryl Sandberg, Harvard Business
School, 2013
