Best motivation and reward

Before you hit the roads to achieve a goal, have you ever given any thought to your motivation or what are you expecting to get as a reward? Attitudes towards this question vary from person to person. Some people claim that wealth and fame is the best motivation and reward, others believe that the fulfillment of a job well done is its own reward. In my opinion, the later point holds more water. In the end, it is the joy in the journey that truly matters.

Doing the work with the attempt to be rich or famous will bring an unfortunate outcome and even will lead us to a dangerous situation. Gradually, we will consider wealth and fame as the most important things in our lives instead of the care of our parents, or our ‘Friends-time’. Besides, this kind of thought might have bad effects on our work, since we only care about how much money we earn or how to get as many glories as we can, we may tend to forget the original significance of doing the job and can’t concentrate our minds on doing the job well. Thus our work efficiency will be reduced and it is unlikely that we can make a great development in our own career. What’s worse, once we fail to get or lose all those glories or wealth, we may feel rather depressed, empty and even sink into a desperate situation.

However, if we change our train of thought and attach more importance to the sense of happiness and fulfillment by accomplishing some simple things, our life will become more wonderful. We won’t get tired of our work and we will be courageous enough to overcome all the

obstacle on our road and enjoy the abundant happiness that the job brings to us. Every workday is like a journey full of surprise and delight. Besides, without the burden of wealth or fame, we can immerge ourselves into the job and there is a good chance that we can achieve a lot. In this case, although we don’t aim for wealth and fame, wealth and fame will follow naturally. If not, we will not feel discouraged, as we firmly believe that the happiness and fulfillment during the journey is the best reward for our work.

Van Gogh sold only one painting during his life, but this didn’t stop him from completing over 800 paintings because he never aims to make money or get fame when he creates new works. As for van Gogh, he values the process of pursuing instead of the results. It’s the pleasure and fulfillment in the process of creating gives him abundant motivation. If Van Gogh had always been fascinated in fame and wealth, he would not have had such wonderful works and the world would never have had such a genius of art.

As a senior high student who are preparing for the college entrance examination, we can’t say that the scores is not important. But I still strongly recommend that we should cherish the process of our learning and enjoy the perpetual and interior happiness it brings to us. No matter whether we succeed in the end or not, we have got the best reward for our work.

Will Your life be Determined by a Cup?

Is coffee among your favorite drinks? With enough choices, which cup would you like to pour your coffee into, an exquisite one or a plain one? Many people will take up the fancy one without hesitation. But wait! Do you really care so much about the containers when the coffee in them is exactly the same, and should you?

Achievement is the coffee while wealth and fame are the cups and the personal satisfaction is the taste of that particular coffee. Will you allow your personal happiness and satisfaction to be determined by a cup–the wealth and the fame you may or may not obtain, and should you? What my mother once said always rings in my ears: “money is not as fantastic as you think, you should never think too highly of it. Don’t be greedy, my son. As long as you are delightful and satisfied with the efforts you have made, that’s all you need.” Gradually, I came to feel the same way. However, in reality, many people are chasing wealth which results in the ignorance of the personal satisfaction and lose themselves in a variety of material temptations. Admittedly, the personal satisfaction is the best motivation and reward for our achievement. As far as I am concerned, those who hold a different attitude focus their time and energy on immediate interests and ignore long-term ones. And surely one day they will get tired with it, on account of which, they’ll lose the motivation in the end.

Such is human nature that material wealth often holds strong temptations to people. Nevertheless, we must be well aware that if the focus of our life is merely on wealth, how shallow we are and what is the difference between us and zombies?

Therefore, savor the coffee, not the cups! Don’t get lost in the cups, but enjoy the coffee instead.
