Good

"There is no motivation higher than being a good writer."

If you're a writer there's no motivation higher than being a good writer. If you're a singer, there's no motivation higher than being a good singer. If you're a student, there's no motivation higher than being a good student. And if you're a person, there's no motivation higher than being a good person. All of this sounds nice and I would like it to be true. But I think that humans are too materialistic. Being good at something is not good enough of us. We can pretend that we are motivated just so that we can become "good," but the truth is that we want a reward for achieving that goodness. A good writer wants to win a Pulitzer Prize to prove to everyone that he is, in fact, a good writer. A good singer wants a Grammy, a good student wants straight As, and a good person wants to be called "good person." IN the end, simply being good is not good enough for anyone. We also want to receive recognition for our so-called goodness.
