Motives In My Life

Improved Essays
Motives are things that drive each person to live, do better in school, or a job, in their marriage, and maybe eat better for a healthier life. I think some motives for me would be to do better in college, so I don 't get behind on my assignments, and things of that nature. In addition, getting married, and having a job are a few other motives of mine.

I feel that is the ultimate motive for me to do well in school and in getting a job, so that I can live life comfortably with my husband however, we meet. For example, having children and growing old with the love of my life just gets me excited for that point in my life.

Money, though shouldn’t always be the motive behind a job. Loving it each and every day should be a motive
