These are two words discovered in the English language that could help us all understand what teamwork is based on. One person could demonstrate such admiration toward a goal that it pushes another to the brink of wanting, and even needing, such achievement. You just have to want it enough. In a previous entry, goals must be set. The hardest step is maintaining that interest. Some people can't help lose attention to one thing. At this point, inspiration is needed. When was the last time you inspired someone to shoot for their goal? A goal could be small, big, or even nothing to one person, but something huge to another. My motivation reaches lengths that will help someone concentrate on homework, reduce frustration, or even lend a shoulder to cry on.
Lack of motivation leads to frustration and discredit. What if someone doesn't deserve such credit? As a person of good moral, I could lend a hand, but on the contrary, laugh at the face of pure meanness. I am human still.
Why do I attempt to motivate or inspire those who don't deserve such strong words... because I was once there. Frustration could lead to meanness and meanness to failure. Everyone fights to stay away from failure. If you look at the darker picture, frustration could, with a little help, be looked at as motivation. A leader develops stress because things are not going as planned. When a goal is properly planned and organized, there is still room for frustration and stress. Stop, breathe, and tell yourself that verbal abuse is not the path. With just a few more seconds, let someone know, politely, that respect is requested. Most likely, this person(s) will understand. Blurbing out without thinking could lead to something that could've been avoided.
Don't give up! Failure is solely up to you. There's more than one way to succeed.
On a side note, I decided to compose a poem to my bear-y favorite.
Favorite Journeys - by JoshGumbi + April 10th, 2007
Every day and night starts the same
With a whisper catching a glimpse in time
Each step guiding a future learned to tame
Grasping what pure reasons to combine.
Remembering the images that drown and fade
Keeping what my heart and harmony fulfills
The fate of our hands become delayed
Finding a memory of happiness until.
