Serious question: what's his source of motivation?
I am a young student, so my source of motivation to be more produtive is a mix of money, status, girls and also build cool shit.
But for him money, status and girls are out. Make the world a better place can't be it.
- n4r9 9y agoDon't see why money and status are out. Seems like the more you have, the more difficult it is to be content with your lot.
- sudosteph 9y agoI can't speak for Sam, but I can give perpective as someone who can't relate to any of those really. I'm not goal oriented. I don't plan a lot for how what I do impacts my future. I'm just driven to solve or fix things. I get external rewards from doing so, but I would do it in some form regardless because I have to. It's like chasing a high for me. Money and status are nice, but honestly, much of what gets me going isn't to strive for any of those, but rather to prove that people who do have those things aren't necessarily correct. Witnessing incompetence or blatant inefficiency makes me angry. Injustice makes me angry too. When I know I can do something much better than how it's being done, and I have time and means of doing so, I just do it and it feels great. To steal a quote from American Gods, "Angry gets shit done".
