Some managers are uncomfotable with expressing emotion about their dreams, but it's the passion and emotion that will attract and motivate others.

James C. Collins

Mark Twain

You can motivate by fear, and you can motivate by reward. But both those methods are only temporary. The only lasting thing is self motivation.

Homer Rice

Matthew Hussey

Malcolm Gladwell

I hope I set an example to motivate people, to motivate the new fighters, motivate the guy who doesn't got to the gym who doesn't train martial arts because he has a knee injury or some little things.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

Rebecca Stead

Wu Guanzhong
