IntroductionIntroduction

Motivation is a vital force in our every day life. it is impossible to get any thing donewithout this force. the problem a lot of time is that some people do not know how toengage this force. in a few cases it may be due to the wrong notions about this forceor the outright lack of proper understanding.

We intend to present this force in a more clearer and understandable format, so thatpeople can begin to make use of this resource to their advantage.

Please ensure to keep an open mind and very positive attitude for the course of thispresentation

Thank you
