Mach on motivation-We can all learn much
motivation
”Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great.”
-Niccolo Machiavelli
Our topic this week is motivation. What compels us to do something? When our motivation comes from external factors, it can wax and wane depending upon the influence of those factors. But when our motivation is intrinsic, when it comes from within ourselves, it is strong, and we can use it to accomplish anything, to overcome any difficulties.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 - The account of a New York Times reporter who has described more than four hours of her grand jury testimony in the C.I.A. leak case provides new indications that Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby, remains under scrutiny in the inquiry.
In her article in The Times on Sunday, which recounted two appearances before the grand jury, the reporter, Judith Miller, wrote that she was asked numerous highly detailed questions about what Mr. Libby told her in ... read more A Cause, Jail Cell, A Deal 19 y

In a notebook belonging to Judith Miller, a reporter for The New York Times, amid notations about Iraq and nuclear weapons, appear two small words: ”Valerie Flame.”
Ms. Miller should have written Valerie Plame. That name is at the core of a federal grand jury investigation that has reached deep into the White House. At issue is whether Bush administration officials leaked the identity of Ms. Plame, an undercover C.I.A. operative, to reporte ... read more Org. to Impeach Bush 19 y

A coalition of anti-war groups operating under the name After Downing Street put out a request Friday evening for donations to fund public opinion surveys by mainstream polling companies to measure support for impeachment proceedings against President Bush. The request had brought in $6,300 by Tuesday morning, putting the campaign more than half way to its goal of $10,000.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 - After a brutal political month, Republicans are scrambling both to reassure their conservative base and to send a broader message to the American public - that they are, in fact, confronting the real-world issues of soaring gas prices, Hurricane Katrina relief, Iraq and immigration, while the Democrats are consumed with partisan warfare.
In a range of interviews on Friday, Republicans acknowledged the shock waves of the last few weeks, capped by the indi ... read more Bush buys favorable news propaganda 19 y

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 - Federal auditors said on Friday that the Bush administration violated the law by buying favorable news coverage of President Bush’s education policies, by making payments to the conservative commentator Armstrong Williams and by hiring a public relations company to analyze media perceptions of the Republican Party.

MCCLOUD, Calif. -- The mile-high creeks start small enough to jump across, draining white fir and cedar forests beneath 14,179-foot Mount Shasta. Moving south, they join streams that flow into the Sacramento and Fall rivers that finally pause in the massive reservoir behind Shasta Dam.
This is a rugged land with scenery to die for, and, indeed, timber companies and environmentalists have fought bitterly over these types of forests for years.
But a pending $10 million deal ... read more FDA Leader Leaves 19 y
