motivation

Motivation is everything! It is why people do anything. Nothing would get down without a motivating reason. There are so many ways/reasons of motivation. Many instances I am motivated by time-due dates, wanting to be doing something else so I have to do the task. One time I really felt unmotivated because of a manager's actions. I was doing what I thought was above and beyond at my job. All the other people I worked with always talked about how great of a job I did and how they liked working with me. Then I got called in by my manager. She informed me that she did not think I was doing a good job and was not doing very much around the work place. I was shocked. I initially tried to do even better than I was, to prove to my boss how good of an employee I was. But I just kept getting told that I was not very good by my manager. This was not motivating at all. It felt like no matter how hard I tried to please her, she was unhappy. It would have been more motivating to me if she had said some positive comments to me.
