Interesting dialogue. I still favor Maslow's work, because I have seen it played out in several peoples lives, including my own. Still, there are other factors that contribute to motivation. The Johari window, for example. Good reading here!! Thanks! I enjoyed reading your article and all the comments. Interesting dialogue.

Every morning I bounce out of bed, already deciding what my next article will be about. Or, I will decide which exciting blog I will comment on next. I was a dead man walking before I discovered blogging. It's so addictive! I find myself dreaming about blog layouts, ad placement, getting hundreds of useful, engaging comments, and giving them in return, and writing dazzling articles.I think I may be getting addicted to blogging a little bit......This is a really cool blog, Armand, I like it a lot.

We've both kinda contradicted ourselves by using those "absolute" words. Anyhow, seeing that we've both acknowledged that, I belive it's safe to say we only did it to put more emphasis on our own points. One of the probable motives behind that being our need for esteem from Maslow's hierarchy of needs. ;) Very good point there Alex, can’t argue that!

Because one's priorities are generated by its needs. You may not need the $100 that much, so they aren't a priority.About the incentives that aren't always enough: "An incentive may be defined as an external goal that has the capacity to motivate your behavior. =This does not mean that it will always motivate your behavior, only that it can.="Anyhow, it's wrong to state that it's *all* determined by a single theory. It is never about one thing only, but a sum of more. Alex, in the situation you’re talking about I believe it’s more about needs . Because one’s priorities are generated by its needs.
