Introduction Motivation is one of the most important character traits. Motivation is used in various contexts both formal and informal in order to facilitate the achievement of certain ends. But, what is the meaning of definition? This question has been answered differently by different people depending on varied perception of what it constitutes. However, the rationale for motivation has remained relatively the same universally. Psychologically, motivation has been defined as the psychosomatic feature that provokes a certain organism to work towards the achievements of desired goals and objectives. Motivation can be said to be the energy or power within that pushes an individual towards performing certain actions and achievement (Wiseman, 2008, p.43). Motivation actually has a lot to do with yearning and ambition; this implies that in the absence of both desire and ambition, there cannot be motivation. In most cases, individuals nurse the desire and ambition to have something achieved in line with personally set goals and objectives, whether for personal or group gains. In this case, when an individual does not have the push, the willingness and initiative to act, then it means such an individual lacks the necessary motivation coupled with the inner drive to succeed with the desire (Hawkins, 2009, p.144). Motivation gives strengths to ambition, offers direction and increases one’s initiative and energizes one to work even harder; besides, it encourages and gives an individual the persistence to work towards achieving one’s set goals and desires. Motivation as a trait is one of the most significant success indicators. When an individual or group of individuals lacks motivation, no result is achievable; however, in the case where results are achieved, they are highly likely not to be desirable and may be mediocre results or outcomes. Meanwhile, wherever there is motivation and drive within each individual, great and high quality results are achievable and success is inevitable for both an individual and groups of individuals (Booth, 1977, p.72). Motivation is not always positive in terms of outcomes. There are individuals who may be to perpetually commit crime. For instance, those who commit burglary have their own personal motivators; even those who commit suicide or murder are motivated by certain things. For the purposes of this paper, motivation is considered on its ability to spur positive change and help an individual or groups of individuals to purse their goals and objectives to the end. Motivating others It is important to note that being able to motivate others is a great asset in itself. Motivation comes from within. However, there are individuals who lack motivation from within and hence need motivation from others (Hagger & Chatzisarantis, 2007, p.256). This is where motivational individuals come to fill in the gap. Motivation is a personal skill and it can come from rational people irrespective of age, occupation or social or economic status. Nonetheless, it is good to point out that motivation can take place in the context of socially approved context and in a context that is anti-social. It therefore implies that not everybody can give motivation to others, especially those whose self-images are not good within the public domain. For one to be able to successfully motivate others, one needs to have reputation, be respected by those he o
