We are have different reasons for doing the things we are doing, It would be really helpful to share what is your "why" for being here? What fuels you to do the things you are doing, what is your motivation or goal so to speak. Lets share and discuss perspectives!

I am fascinated by the power of design to change lives. I started Parallel, one of India’s first few product design studios, in 2014, possibly. Today, we have helped over 100 companies build better products, impacting over a billion lives (https://www.parallelhq.com/proje...) Every day I look at the impact I've been able to make in these 10 years and it keeps motivated to keep going 🙂

WE are PEOPLE, not machines..., we do not need lubricating grease, money... What generates energy to create is correlated with the human-motor and the civilization. Noone is able to create rich things in a poor world full of misery. Our fuel is the recognizing. To create avoiding a cynical work: our products must be relevant in the society where we live, and their people must grant the best of them.

@demetre_mildiani1 Absolutely. It is my purpose - and I'm fueled by my purpose. My highest motivation is actually FUTURE - so I'm most motivated by thinking about, planning for and engaging in work that heads to a future orientation! (This is our Marlee product that informs this!)
