Motivation is like bathing. You've got to do it every single day.
If you're sincere, praise is effective. If you're insincere, it's manipulative.
Court each other forever.
I don't care how much power, brilliance or energy you have, if you don't harness it and focus it on a specific target, and hold it there you're never going to accomplish as much as your ability warrants
It's not what you've got, it's what you use that makes a difference.
Have an attitude of gratidude and you will have more to be grateful for; have a complaining spirit and you will attract more to complain about.
