What gets you up every day?

Dear A,

This is highly individual question. So as for me my motivation, my objective and my wiliness to make this day the best day in my life are the thongs that really drives me. However, I'm not sure that they are transferable to you. So I would simply recommend you to be yourself and to be authentic.

If you need any further help or advice, feel free to reach out.

Best,
André

I am driven by trying to be a better version of myself than I was yesterday and much better tomorrow. I am constantly looking to improve myself in as many things as possible. I believe my “Never Give Up” attitude helps in my day-to-day activities.

I look forward to solve problems, to get a step forward and see progress and be recognised for, learning something new! I hope that every day is different

The thought that that we will never be as young as today - reminds you that the time flows and you have to make every day count.

My thoughts about the bright future make me wake up every morning and go to college to obtain knowledge and hope that my endeavor will be sucessful.

Das Gefühl, auf der Arbeit etwas wertvolles zu leisten. Mir macht die Arbeit wirklich sehr viel Spaß, wenn ich sehe, dass ich einen aktiven Beitrag zur Entwicklung einer coolen Lösung schaffe.

Achieving my goals, short term as well as long term

The knowledge to accomplish something with a good positive impact. 

More privatly: excitedly going in my garden and work, see everything from flowers and veggies growing and developing.

I love my work I enjoy being able to make an impact in the world in some humble way. I believe in internal locus of control and self motivation. I have sacrificed to be where I am and now want to enjoy the experience

I hate feeling lazy and unproductive because I know that wasted time is time I could be learning or furthering my career. One of my biggest fears is being unsuccessful. 

To have a little self-improvement every day and every day a new challenge, which helps me to fulfill my passion to make the world a better place to live.

Ich will mich jeden Tag ein bisschen verbessern

My to-do list describing my short-term goals

My excitement for the world motivates me everyday.

I enjoy learning new things and discussing different ideas and building them

The thought of being exposed to new things to tackle gets me up everyday.

Improve the world, curiosity

Musik und Sonnenschein 

My alarm clock and fear of being fired 

My alarm, against my will 

Ok ok, fine.

The first thing on my morning routine is going to the gym, and I actually wake up and look forward to it because then I can pick up where I left off on some captivating audiobook or podcast. During the week, I don't have that much down hours to just sit and listen my books and podcasts, so I made it a gym thing. If I want to know what happened to my favourite character, I gotta go to the gym to find out.

Gym

The drive to improve my professional skills and my family.

To desire to achieve the same or higher living standard that my parents showed me.

clock

My hunger for learning and understanding how the world works.

Sports

The feeling of being alive

I love a challenge, and being exposed to new topics I had not come across so far. It's the reason I chose consulting, while some businesses are very niche and would bore most people, I find it fascinating to understand but a snip of people and business' needs which I had not thought of before. I think it is fascinating to realise how little we actually know of everything, and while I may not want to pursue a career in many of these businesses, I think it's great to learn about problem solutions for problems I did not even know existed.

My Alarm clock. 

I enjoy the challenges, the dynamics, the movement. I want to get somewhere every day. 

Motivation to seize the day and make a positive impact on the world
