common goal: contribute, mastery and challenge.
• Stimulate each other to move forward: work together and share each
other‟s knowledge: “connect, share and discover”.
• Motivation is the stimulus that causes people to do or pursue
something.
• The key is to surround yourself with people who can help you. You can
find such peers within your own circle or outside your network.
• Cultivate a culture of helpfulness: develop and coach others.

Notas do Editor
New perspectives on working
1. “Remembering that you are going to die one day is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. Follow your heart.” 2. “Stayhungry. Stayfoolish.” 3. “I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.” 4. “Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ― Steve JobsBe as you wish to seem - Socrates-------“If you’re alive, there’s a purpose for your life” – Rick Warren“The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are” – Joseph Campbell
Encourage yourself to be in that placeAsk, "What Will I Create that Will Make the World Awesome?
What do you desire? What makes you itch? What sort of a situation would you like? What would you like to do if money were no object? How would you really enjoy spending your life? What do you want to do?What do you desire?
“Creativity is not something you wait for. It is something that waits for you. You must decide to be creative, not wait to be. You must challenge yourself. Pick up the brush. Grab hold of the camera. Turn on the computer. Start cooking the meal. Propose the solution. Advance the idea. Become the answer.” – Neal Donald Walsch
You know what your passion is. -> I want you to think about that field instead of learning about that field and instead of being a student in that field BE the field.Whether it is music, science, architecture or whatever. And I want you to think about that field, and who knows you might even create something.------------------------------------------------------------------------“Creativity is not something you wait for. It is something that waits for you. You must decide to be creative, not wait to be. You must challenge yourself. Pick up the brush. Grab hold of the camera. Turn on the computer.

The point is, all of us have many ways in which we can express our creativity, and expressing it is vital to our wellbeing. It is a wonderful form of play. Creative expression will occur naturally when you open your heart to yourself and others, allowing the gift of creativity to flow through you from the spiritual source that is always available to you. New ideas are always waiting to be expressed through you - you just need to open to them and allow the time for them. When you do, you will feel the joy and fulfillment that comes from everyday creativity!

What motivates us to do great work? It’s an age-old question. But the age-old answers – rewards, recognition, money, stability – no longer seem to suffice. As we’ve shifted to a knowledge-based economy, it turns out that what drives us has shifted, too.What really gets creatives fired up is, well, ourselves. That is, intrinsic motivation. If we can imagine an achievement, see ourselves progressing toward that goal, and understand that we are gaining new skills and knowledge, we will be driven to do great work.For creative thinkers, Pink identifies three key motivators: autonomy (self-directed work), mastery (getting better at stuff), and purpose (serving a greater vision). All three are intrinsic motivators. Even a purpose, which can seem like an external motivator, will be internalized if you truly believe in it.

De boodschap wordt krachtiger als je er zelf in gelooft, waardoor je de boodschap vanuit je gevoel en overtuiging probeert over te brengen. Laat je niet verleiden door iemand om iets te presenteren waar je zelf niet warm voor loopt.
