Total Motivation - Part 1


I just want to adapt from a book I bought last Ramadhan 1430 H. The title of the book is ‘Total Motivation’ written by Satria Hadi Lubis.
In this book we learn about how to motivate ourselves, because it is easy to get a motivation from our friend or a motivator, and it is also easy to give a motivation to somebody else.
When we get a motivation to burn our spirit, we feel that our spirit getting raised. But it would get down easily when there are external influences involved. It is as an impact that can occur if we cannot create total motivation in ourselves.
I remembered Mr. Arief Isnaini, SH, SE, MM, a motivator gave examples from a candy and a hundred thousands rupiahs – money. He asked if audiences want the candy when it dropped on a ground. The audiences answered that they did not want the candy. But when it was asked whether they wanted the money although it has dropped and stepped, and they answered they wanted it.
It means the money value does not change about although getting bad treatment as dropped and stepped. So we must be able to be 100% of our spirit whatever there is storm hit us.
We need to create our total motivation in ourselves. The motivation theories have been said as a science in 1950’s. There are 2 motivation theories, they are: content theory and process theory.
1. Content Theory
It consists of 5 theories. They are:
