1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,028
What do you see in the face of a child?

2
00:00:04,628 --> 00:00:06,870
Hope. Determination...

3
00:00:07,819 --> 00:00:10,514
The wonder of newfound knowledge...

4
00:00:11,552 --> 00:00:14,600
The thrill of mastering a new skill.

5
00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:20,000
What's the secret of a child's success?

6
00:00:23,576 --> 00:00:25,839
The power of motivation.

7
00:00:26,863 --> 00:00:32,085
Motivation. Dream it. Walk it. Believe it.

8
00:00:37,904 --> 00:00:41,213
As adults, many of us have forgotten

9
00:00:41,238 --> 00:00:44,680
how to tap into the
self-motivation we had as kids.

10
00:00:44,705 --> 00:00:46,791
There are just too many
days when we feel like,

11
00:00:46,791 --> 00:00:49,160
well, if my manager would
appreciate me a little more

12
00:00:49,161 --> 00:00:53,515
or I made more... or whatever.
Then, I'd be motivated.

13
00:00:55,090 --> 00:00:58,428
So, how do we recapture a
child's self-motivation?

14
00:00:59,205 --> 00:01:01,828
And why would we even want to?

15
00:01:02,465 --> 00:01:05,156
Well, let's think about this for a minute.

16
00:01:05,668 --> 00:01:09,056
When we're motivated, we get
more done, we're less stressed,

17
00:01:09,081 --> 00:01:13,313
and we generally enjoy our
lives and our work a lot more.

18
00:01:13,338 --> 00:01:14,958
I mean, look around you.

19
00:01:14,983 --> 00:01:18,777
You probably know a few people
who always seem to be motivated.

20
00:01:18,802 --> 00:01:21,862
When the rest of us are
frustrated, bored or burned out

21
00:01:21,887 --> 00:01:24,857
they stay focused, positive, and productive.

22
00:01:25,165 --> 00:01:26,374
How do they do it?

23
00:01:26,399 --> 00:01:28,997
Well, we talked to a few of those people.
And they're not

24
00:01:29,022 --> 00:01:31,771
superstar coaches or
power-lunch professionals;

25
00:01:31,772 --> 00:01:33,651
they're just people, like us.

26
00:01:33,659 --> 00:01:36,913
They pay bills, they have too much
to do, and sometimes they

27
00:01:36,938 --> 00:01:39,800
struggle to get through the
day with their sanity intact.

28
00:01:41,827 --> 00:01:45,036
My name's Jon William Grannis,
Internet project coordinator.

29
00:01:45,061 --> 00:01:46,541
My name is Maria Cruz.

30
00:01:46,541 --> 00:01:49,856
I got hired as a housekeeper
and I became a supervisor.

31
00:01:49,857 --> 00:01:51,942
Amelia Hamilton-Morris.

32
00:01:51,969 --> 00:01:55,909
I ended up as a television reporter.
I went on to corporate communications.

33
00:01:55,934 --> 00:01:57,676
My name is Karlos Kirby.

34
00:01:57,701 --> 00:02:02,313
I got started in bobsledding, and
took that, went to two Olympics.

35
00:02:02,313 --> 00:02:03,599
Anna Akermark.

36
00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:05,199
I'm an open heart surgery nurse.

37
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,257
Kelly Murphy.

38
00:02:06,258 --> 00:02:10,401
Twenty-one years in a Fortune 100
Company, a safety coordinator.

39
00:02:11,286 --> 00:02:13,370
We asked each of these people

40
00:02:13,371 --> 00:02:16,899
what is the secret to self-motivation?
Can anybody do it?

41
00:02:16,924 --> 00:02:18,798
And what we found out is...

42
00:02:19,060 --> 00:02:21,392
Yeah, anybody can do it.

43
00:02:21,417 --> 00:02:24,600
But it's got to start with us.

44
00:02:24,993 --> 00:02:30,400
Basically, we have to make the
choice to think like a kid again.

45
00:02:30,905 --> 00:02:34,685
One of the gifts of childhood is imagination,

46
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:39,814
the ability to look up into the night
sky and see a future yet to be created.
