“Sir Alric is big on self-motivation, initiative, that kind of guff.”
“Do not depend on good motivator!Find your words of self-motivation!”
“Self-defense was an accepted motive for murder.”
“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.”
“So a visionary’s best defense… is not only having a thick skin, but having reservoirs of self-confidence as well. Because when those invested in the status quo feel threatened, they chip away at not only the upstart’s ideas, but also his or her motives and character. Just as big trucks require big wheels, and tall buildings require deep foundations, people with big dreams need a large reservoir of self-confidence to maintain their balance and go forward.”
“What the heck kind of name was Sir?”
