my future motivates me.....

jus always lookin ahead and moving towards something....
i think i can accomplish alot...and i think i will do okay in life

learning from mistakes of my own and of others...
i jus always try to stay busy with learning new things and getting better at the things im good at

I am very accomplishment driven. In school I need to get the best grade, in career I need to do everything with perfection and much before my time - I pride myself on being very young AND well accomplished and exeprienced in my field. Doing great things in my short life is what I aim for... And to have done them better than anyone is what drives me.

So... I would say that people who are good at things (be it practiced or naturally gifted) inspire me to do better. I don't like to do things I'm not good at, and I like to do really well at the things that I do. For all I care, the lazy scum of the earth can continue to lay there as I run laps around them.

When I see someone that's really good at something, I just think that they're really good at that. I don't try to be them. I think it's because of a fear of dejection if I don't live up to what they do.

On the other hand, if I see someone really lazy, or just someone that is amazingly bad, I get motivated.

But I guess they're both due to a fear of dejection. I'd let myself down if I became someone I didn't want to become, or if I don't live up to a goal I set for myself. I just have to be realistic.

Money doesn't motivate me so much.

Making a difference in the world is what motivates me. I want to be involved in decisions made by the movers and shakers in this world. I want people to come to me when they're trying to find a solution to the next health pandemic. I want to be so frickin' brilliant, that people stare up at me in awe whenever I walk by. But at the same time, I want to be able to walk though a tiny villave without anyone recognizing me.

I want to be a change agent and an advocate for people who are perceived to be too far down on the socioeconomic ladder to be heard.

Reading the Economist and other first rate journalistic publications motivate me. I get to read about all these awesome people who have accomplished dreams that are very similar to my own. I'm always reading their employment adds that are looking for people to head up really facinating development projects in lands far, far away.

Learning motivates me. I'm always reading. Always trying to answer the million questions that run through my mind every second.

Oh, and the haters out there who think that I wont achieve my goals. They motivate me A LOT.
