Then one wonders what motivates the following groups of people: - The happily married. Achievement has nothing to do with sexual satisfaction in a marriage; that is either secure or it isn't. You might as well try to win your mother's love. - Women. The sexual 'market' looks totally different from a woman's perspective. Do you see a guy you'd like to sleep with? Ask him. He'll probably say yes. If women acheive in order to get laid, they are trying too hard. - Those who have taken some sort of lifetime vow of celibacy. Clergy, monks, some missionaries. I think that covers more people than it misses! Ascribing mean and petty motivations to all action says more about the speaker than it does about humanity. Study closely the great men of history--those who had an abundance of motivation--and such explanations clearly fall flat. You can practically feel the heat of intrinsic motivation, of their pride and conviction and vision. http://artofmanliness.com/2010/02/26/lessons-in-manliness-from-byron-whizzer-white/ http://artofmanliness.com/2010/02/26/lessons-in-manliness-fr...
