Some people are naturally motivated . Those people possess the X factor and achieve enviable things in life . Others need a boost to achieve their goals .People who have achieved amazing feats. People like David Hurst, who was the first blind person to climb Mount Blanc, or Li Cunxin, the sixth of seven sons born to peasants in rural China who became one of the world’s greatest dancers.  I still remember to this day the stories told by Ben Hunt-Davis about how to ‘make the boat go faster’ as they were preparing for the Men’s Rowing Eights at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, which he subsequently won the gold medal in. Many people lack belief in their life, and such people generally shy away from taking risks – but risks must be taken to be successful. If you associate yourself with people who tell you that you cannot do something, eventually you will begin to believe it. The same logic can be applied to the opposite case. Be with people who tell you that you are capable, and you will use that positive energy and convince yourself that you can accomplish your goals.
