25 years into my career here. Motivation is awesome to get you that rush to start building something. Discipline, however, is far more important and will get you more success than anything else. Discipline for what? Achieving goals that you have set. If you don't have goals then that's the problem right there - how will motivate yourself for anything or have the discipline to achieve it?

Over the years my goal changed from being a software wizard to having $x.xm in my bank account by the time I am 50, thus securing my daughter's education all the way through college. Every time I don't want to join the 999th call of the week on "how we can better work together", I look at her picture and realize who I am doing that for - discipline.
