“Resolved that money is the primary motivator of people”
We had this little debate in Personnel Management class about the topic above and I was on the pro team or the mukhang pera team (hahahaha!).
Pro – (our team) People are primarily motivated by money because it’s the means of exchange in getting their needs.
Con – (other team) There are better motivators that money, sample of which are love, independence, recognition of knowledge, etc.
Professor’s – It will depend on the person. Big compensation attracts applicants for a job yet a good employer-employee relationship is what makes an employee stay with the company.
So, it’s still the primary but it’s not the long-term.
Aminin na kasi mukhang pera eh, paligoy-ligoy pa noh?!
Hahaha!
Another one…
“Contentment”
What about it?
Contentment - the quality or state of being contented
Contented - feeling or showing satisfaction with one's possessions, status, or situation
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/
Let’s assume that person #1 is contented with his/her situation and person #2 is not contented.
Which of the two have goals?
Which will strive to improve him/herself to achieve those goals?
Person #1 is contented with everything that he/she has so he/she’ll just continue what he/she is currently doing and will not bother to work harder to improve. Probably because he/she already achieved his/her goals through previous hard work or he/she is too lazy to do anything or he/she is ready to die because he/she is not yearning for more for his/her life. This type of person has no goals left to fulfill or have no goals at all.
Person #2 on the other hand, wants more, and is never contented. He/she will work at much as he/she can in order to improve what he/she has now. He/she will continue to educate him/herself in order to advance in his/her career or to get the thing he/she desires. He/she often pushes him/herself to the limits, he/she is willing to go out of his/her comfort zone in order to get his/her hand on the thing that he/she wants. This type of person has goals and will work hard to get it.
Are you person # 1 or person #2?
I’m person #2.
Read and comprehend this quote by Thomas Carlyle
A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.

I rest my case.
