Eric S. Raymond declares: You cannot motivate the best people with money. Money is just a way to keep score. The best people in any field are motivated by passion.
Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things. – Denis Diderot
I am sure that you have a deep desire to do something great. We were all born with this desire. It may not necessarily be something that would compare with Winston Churchill or Abraham Lincoln, but nevertheless it would be something that would give us a sense of achievement beyond the “normal”.
