This article is motivating as fuck.....

How do you motivate yourself?
“Hmm, that’s a hard question. I guess that the best answer is that by the time you are old enough to understand that you are NOT going to be a rock start or a unique, beautiful snowflake, it will be too late. Lack of motivation fundamentally comes from fear — you are afraid to do things since you don’t think you can do them internally — which is 99% true.However, the good news is that if you REALLY try to do anything, there is nothing that you can’t do within reason of course. So my suggestion is simple and basically how I start anyone I mentor — start with ANYTHING that you want to do, something small. Then start it, work on it everything single day until its done, I don’t care if you are sick, haev to work, goto school, your girlfriend wants to do something, whatever, just work on it everyday — at some point you will get to a point where you find your own mental limits, this is usually the point where every single person quits and then sells themselves the bullshit concept, “I could finish it if I wanted”– this is crap, the fact is THEY can’t finish it, but this is just the moment of transformation — now, here is where you are going to triple your efforts, read whatever you need to read, and finish it, no matter what — And if you don’t think this advice is true I have heard it personally from every single iconic computer person on the planet — the key to success is so simple — just finish everything.You will never become motivated, until you don’t need to become motivated then you will be motivated, hard to explain, but that’s the way it works –Additional, arguement — what are you doing anyway?
If you aren’t 10x smarter than everyone now, how will you compete in 10-20 years? Imagine the math, physics, computer science, nanotech, biotech, etc. that will be common then — thus, you better get crackin! There is so much work to be done and no time to do it — if you are less than 40 and aren’t working at least 15-18 hours a day you are not working enough, you simply can’t compete with the best in the world unless you are willing to throttle it that much –NeCroN.TTL ”

If you need to read shit like that in order to get work done, then you've already lost, and might as well grab a 9-5.

Disagree. Everyone needs a kick-start once in awhile.

Agreed that everyone gets down, and sometimes needs a kick start. Disagreed that a 3 paragraph article or YouTube video is going to help any.

If you need a kick start in life, then there's more going on than an article or YouTube video will solve.
 
I'm a bit of a motard, I won't lie. A good motivational perspective is always welcome around my way, but I do agree that if you spend more time trying to learn "the secret" than fighting in the trenches, you're doing yourself a disservice.

Good share though, thanks.

Well, the books I've read have changed my life... and this perspective is pretty good "You won't be motivated until you get to a stage in which you don't need to be motivated."

Length has never been an indicator of quality.

What a fucking idiot.

An idiot that is one of the worlds most highly respected hackers, knows a dozen machine languages and designs video game consoles for a living.

Saying that, yeah, 18 hours is likely to lead to burn out. I don't know how honest he is about this. I'd be very surprised if he did 18 hours.
 
"Everyone is capable of doing extraordinary things, each in his own way. Some are perfectly happy doing simple things in good spirits; others, however, concentrate on details. We are all different, and it really doesn’t matter if you focus on space travel or work in the fields. What is important is to do what you really want."
