in today's world you can find tons of motivational speaking podcasts, events or even articles all taking about "Motivation" ,"Self Improvement" ,"Hard Working" and all of these bullshit..
So why is it bullshit?
whenever you try to look deep inside this thing you will find core things they rely on "The Idol (Icon)" ,"Steps" and the "Results"
1.The Idol or the Icon is selected to be someone have "Succeeded" in something but need to wrap this into a very long tale to be inspiring and interesting for the listener .
but what is the problem here?
the problem is that making icon of someone, showing him/here as a hero for doing something (which can even be a very simple or ordinary thing but the tale is catchy) is stupid this because it urges you to do the same thing without asking "Would i fit here?" but it's not important "YOU MUST BE SUCCESS LIKE THIS IDOL"
or without asking is the tale is real? why wouldn't be a fraud.
2.Steps , giving you fixed steps to follow as it's the manifest for success is quite tricky thing as you must wonder "If it's that simple " why aren't we all successful? yes because obliviously we are not following this exact steps.
3.Goals : the most important point set a fake goals you ALL MUST have ,without wondering are these goals are realistic or even fits me?
besides all what i have mentioned earlier the worst thing about motivation is "High Expectations"
after reading or listening to motivational speaking it's like you had a shot of ecstasy ,you feel like you are going to be the next Einstein and start to a very high goals, you start with high expectations then you get tired and QUIT.
for me i didn't care about this subject before, but now i do since it started to leak into it domain.
Since 2020, tons of youtubers started to talk about the it field as they discovered it's possible to work from home and all other benefits.
They Started to motivate everybody to become a programmer "even the term is no longer used but they use it anyway", and it's very often you can run into one of your friends who have believed this nonsense and invested a lot of time and money on this path.
but end up with nothing.
