You are not a boss at BT are you?

Years and ages ago, I was notified to see my prof after class.
She informed me due to a few bad test scores, I would fail, unless I did extra credit work. I was to write an essay regarding motivation. My paper included a brief statement about fear as a motivator. She (The prof) gave the paper a C saying, "Fear is not a motivation." I was quick to reply, "BS Professor! I was in fear I would fail, so that motivated me to write the paper!"
She recanted and gave me an A.

Inspiration. Motivation is not a big factor in my everyday existence.

Inspiration by the people who make my life enjoyable is.

if the idea doesn't haunt you until you follow through with it, it's not good enough.
