Quote from

http://www.motivation-tools.com/downloads/elements_of_motivation.pdf:

"Motivation is built on three basic elements:

1. Motivation starts with a need, vision, dream or desire to achieve the seemingly impossible. Creativity is associated with ideas, projects and goals, which can be considered a path to freedom. 
2. Developing a love-to-learn lifestyle, become involved with risky ventures and continually seek new opportunities. Success is the result of learning what works and does not work. 
3. Develop the ability to overcome barriers and to bounce back from discouragement or failure. Achievers learn to tolerate the agony of failure. In any worthwhile endeavor, barriers and failure will be there. Bouncing back requires creative thinking as it is a learning process. In addition, bouncing back requires starting again at square one.

A loss of any one part and motivation is on the rocks. For example:

• If you like to be creative and love to learn but cannot face up to failure, you will not go back and try again. Persistent is associated with bouncing back.

• If you have a unique idea but don’t like taking risks, ideas is all you will ever have.

• There must be something in your life that turns you on. You can start by analyzing the lifestyle of your dreams. Remember, money is not a goal, it is a reward for achieving a goal."

There is something very interesting here. The author seems to be "S" (as against "N" in MBTI). There is an extraordinary interest in sensing, adventures and learning hands on through trial and error. The entire article seems to be written primarily with an SP (as against SJ or N) in mind.
