Part-2: Do we need to pay for motivation?

I hope you gave a thought on previous post. If not please go through it on (Do we need to pay for motivation?) otherwise this post will be irrelevant to you.

So, what do you think? Is it really expensive and such a hilarious task to be motivated? Just read it and discover yourselves because obviously you can judge yourselves the best.

Let us consider a normal Indian day and see how your surroundings are and can be the best inspirations for you to get motivated. In this post I am listing how the people around you can motivate you in every thing to achieve whatever you want.

1)      The Milkman that comes to your house. Just ask him, At what time does he get up in the morning so as to able to deliver the milk packets at your doorsteps at 6-7am in the morning, which I believe is too early for us. I am sure the reply will make you realize that when you are awake all night to read an inspirational novel, watch your favorite TV series, and yeah, to study ( a day before the exam), he gets up at 3-4am every day, arrange the milk from some dairy and then get sets so that he delivers it at the right time at your house, otherwise your parents will say, “ kya bhaiya, 6 baje chaiye hota hai, aap to harr roz 6.30 kar dete ho ( we need milk packets at 6am, but you always delay it unnecessarily till 6.30am)”.

2)      The second most motivational person I believe is your vegetable seller. I would request you to ask the same question to him. If I consider that maximum of you reading this are Indians, you will notice that if you visit a Mandi ( Wholesale vegetable market: from where the vegetable sellers collect the vegetables to sell in your locality), you will find that though the “official” time for a sunrise is 5-6am, its already “out” in those Mandi at 2am or 3am. They sell vegetables all day, and then stay awake the entire night so that they can arrange vegetables to sell and earn their living. And we thought we are the biggest achievers staying up for 5 consecutive nights during our exams in our “luxurious” rooms.

3)      Have you ever visited a construction site? I recently got a change to visit one. On asking about the duration and type of work, a worker told me that he works 7 hours a day, and his job is to collect bricks from the ground floor and take them to the third floor the entire day as the construction work is going on there. (Studying 4 hours a day seems a tremendous victory).

I thing the post is getting a bit long, and some of you may not find it that interesting, so just the last one for today

4)      Visit a chaiwalla (a tea stall) by the road side, and ask him his work and his earnings from it. Once I asked him, and the reply was “Rs.1800 per month,” where from he should pay his room rent, educate his daughter, and arrange for basic food necessities? (Grail only offers 6lpa. :/, very less).

I think if you carefully observe, you will notice that all of them motivate you to work, to strive and to achieve and sincerely they are the biggest source of inspiration we have in our daily lives.

There is a third part of this post as well, which I will write if you guys like it.
