Management is nothing more than motivating other people.
—Lee Iacocca, chairman and CEO of Chrysler Motors
The primary motivation wasn’t making money, but making an impact.
—Sean Parker, cofounder of Facebook
Motivation is simple. You eliminate those who are not motivated.
—Lou Holtz, legendary college basketball coach
My only real motivation is not to be hassled—that, and the fear of losing my job.
But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to
get fired.
—Peter Gibbons, character in the movie Office Space
The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it. Exercise,
lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. Do it without motivation. And

comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it.
—John C. Maxwell, author, speaker, and pastor
