Be it a playground or a company, the formula for success is the same everywhere: motivation. Motivation inspires the amount of effort one puts in his work. It is said that hard work breeds confidence and confidence breeds success, but in all three stages motivation is the driving force. An important motivator for a person in any profession is interest and the desire to learn. One gets success when interest and the desire to learn are linked together.

Psychologists call motivation as a very positive emotion. The famous writer Daniel Goleman, in his book 'Emotional Intelligence', has mentioned the chemical secretions in the brain leading to the positive elevated feelings which help an individual to follow his goals.

Maslow, the great psychoanalyst, has unfolded many secrets of the thought process of motivation. His theory says that to achieve the perfect mature state of motivation one has to pass through two important stages: self-actualization and self-transcendence. In the initial state of self-actualization one achieves the sense of self-fulfillment and realizes his potential. In the second state of self-transcendence one succeeds in going beyond his individual ego and thereby achieves a permanently motivated state of mind.

The 'Challenge' factor also plays a vital role in arousing the feelings of motivation in most people. Many people get motivated by the thought of doing something which they think they can't do. Plunging into the unknown is a purely human tendency, and human history witnesses that the most successful people achieved their desired objectives by taking risks and relying completely on their natural sense of strong motivation. Therefore, it has been universally recognized that the sense of motivation is most important in getting success.
