On Motivation, the Power of Ideas, and Time

Good morning fellow scholars,

 

Below I have attached three videos that I found quite helpful in helping us understand the what motivates us, how ideas come to be, and how time is perceived differently by different cultures and generations. 

 

The first short video, by Dan Pink, explains the secrets behind what motivates us and how we can foster this power from the people we manage and work with. 

 

The second video, by Steven Johnson, looks at the process of incubating ideas and way which ideas come to life. 

 

Lastly, Philip Zimbardo takes us on a tour that spans the space-time realm. He touches upon the controversial idea of how culture, religion, and age play a role in ones perception of time. The video also warns of the dangers of video games and the negative effects deconstructive surfing of the Internet has on the development of our brains. 

 

I wish you find these videos useful and motivating. 

 

Take care of yourself, 

 

Haider
