Motivated by the end result or the process? (micro-blog)

To do anything you need to be motivated enough to pursue it. There are 2 ways of being motivated-

1. By the end result

2. By the process

Motivation by the end result is like in school – you don’t like rote-learning but you’re motivated by the end result ie good academic score, so you study hard. It’s the same for college. Ask yourself would you go to college if college didn’t offer you a degree. Most of you would say no. But everyone still goes to college to get the end result-a degree.

Motivation by the process is something altogether different. In this you love doing everything unlike motivation by end result. Like a singer likes to sing. So he can do any amount of hardwork to sound good on stage without feeling tired. In this case the singer is motivated by the process. He can go on practising his art for hours and none of it would feel like hardwork as this is his passion.

In the first case, you don’t like the process but the end result. While in the second case you like both-the process and the end result.
