Motivation is that which induce action or determine choice. It is that within the individual which incites him to action, such as an idea, emotion, desire, or impulse.
Confidence has had a measurable effect on our ability – it has brought out the best in us. No wonder, Napoleon Hill said, ‘my stepmother was always the one who encourage me to strike out on my own with such bold schemes as later proved the backbone of my career. I will never forget the greatest lesson she taught me in how to motivate others by giving them confidence in themselves. ‘Her deep love and unshakable faith motivate me to try to become the kind of a boy she believe me to be’. Hill mused.
