The value of motivation

Success, acknoledgement, fame, glory, .... Many of us fight for reasons like these. But we don't build a good name from one day to the next. It is necessary to work hard. It is necessary to overcome obstacles. It is necessary to have motivation, persevere and insist. Life is a susccession of battles.

One cannot always do only what one likes, but those that like what they do and are proud of always doing better, they make progress day by day.

The amazing thing is that it is precisely upon facing adverse situations that many rediscover the best in themselves. It is a most satisfying feeling to reach the end of a task with the feeling a duty fullfil and receive the respect of all our colleagues, the admiration of the people we love. The pride of having seen in the obstacles the opportunity of growth. The pride of being able to face life's ups and downs and win. The pride of being a winner which did not give up fundamental values.

GOOD LUCK!
