Motivation#
Discuss#
Everyone is to think of two situations in their life:
Where there was a difficult task to be done, and you went through a lot of pain while getting the task done.
Where there was a difficult task to be done, but you enjoyed getting the task done.
First arrive at 2 such situation from your memory. It is okay if you can think of only one. Then in each case, think what motivated you to work on the task.
