Motivation 1.0 presumed that humans were biological creatures, struggling to obtain our basic needs for food, security and sex. Motivation 2.0 presumed that humans also responded to rewards and punishments. That worked fine for routine tasks but incompatible with how we organize what we do, how we think about what we do, and howwe do what we do. We need an upgrade. Motivation 3.0, the upgrade we now need, presumes that humans also have a drive to learn, to create, and to better the world. Daniel H. Pink
About This Quote

The idea of Motivation 2.0 and Motivation 3.0 is for people to be open minded and to understand that we are not robots but we can be motivated by the rewards and punishments we get from life. We need to keep our minds open and motivated to get up and be successful in life. The more we try, the better we get and the happier we will become.
