what question do you want to be answered?

Hey Mind Warriors,

If you could have an interview with any motivational/mindset guru, what question would you really want him/her to answer?

Have fun

Bart

How do you motivate people that have different value systems or religions?
Isn't motivation somewhat unique to each individual?
If so, is there really no "one size fits all" approach to motivation?

Hi,
The 'one size fits all' question is one that needs to be asked of all gurus and motivational speakers but I doubt vey much that you will get anything other than a well rehearsed 'one size fits all' answer.
The other question that springs to mind is how come your motivational stimulus has only a short term effect?

Why do so many people, after making so called millions, have to keep on making more. How much do you have to spend before you help someone else.

If I would have only one question to ask any successful person, that definitely would be:
What was the lowest point in your life?

By listening successful people how they overcome their hardest time we always have inspirational lessons to think about.
Something really valuable.

I not so sure that I would be capable of learning much from real high flyers even if they were leaders in something that I wanted to aspire to. Everyone seems to think that the way to gain riches or influence is to ask the top people.
My experience of a few very successful people which included a former Archbishop of Canterbury, a Regional Governor of Nigeria, and the 'personal guru' of a British Prime Minister is that they express themselves in a manner which doesn't convey a great deal to me because I have never moved in the realms of power in which they have. They are used to dealing with people who are their equals and they converse in superficially ordinary language but the true meaning of what they are saying does not jell with people such as I.
I am not being humble or falsely modest, nor do I feel inferior to them - it's just we are in separate realms of human endeavour.
As an example, I used to play cricket reasonably well, and I have fairly often spoken to two very famous world class cricketers. Whilst it was interesting to hear them talk to an audience who admired their celebrity, when they were talking to each other, their conversation moved on to an entirely different plane about the finer points of the sport which I would like to have understood but knew that I didn't.
Consequently, I think that there is more to be gained by talking to people who are clearly successful but are still within your own orbit.
