Hi, Brian! It sounds like you have some very interesting pastimes that help you relax, unwind, and recharge. I appreciate you sharing a bit about yourself and find it inspiring to see someone who has obviously been successful in life taking the same class I am taking. It makes me think I am doing something right by being here, since others like you who have already come such a long way in life are here with me. Hopefully, we can all learn a little from each other. Like you, I look forward to learning how to read people more effectively and learning how to motivate people using I/O psychology. One of the important principles I have learned about human motivation in the past, at least according to Maslow’s (1943) theory of the needs hierarchy is that the goal is to get people to be self-motivated, i.e., self-actualizing. The way you get them there is by helping them to meet their lower level needs, such as the need for shelter, food, security; higher up the rung of needs are friendship, love, and esteem. Once those have all been met one is able to move on towards becoming self-motivated because one is no longer dependent upon external incentives.
