WE ARE ALL MOTIVATED-- EITHER POSITIVELY OR NEGATIVELY

I read the story of two brothers. One was a drug addict and a drunk who frequently beat up his family. The other was a very successful businessman who was respected in society and had a wonderful family. How could two brothers raised by same parents, brought up in the same environment, be so different?

The first brother was asked, "What makes you do what you do? You are a drug addict, a drunk, and you beat your family. What motivates you?" He answered, "My father. My father was a drug addict, a drunk and he beat his family.What do you expect me to be?That is what I am."

The second brother was asked, "How come you are doing everything right? What is your source of motivation?" And guess what he said?" My father. When I was a little boy, I used to see my dad drunk and doing all the wrong things. I made up my mind that this is not what I wanted to be."
