“With great power comes great responsibility”. This was said by someone who had a profound way with words, but I'm not sure exactly who it was, mainly because it has been said in every known origin story of a superhero I can think of, so I guess it's safe to say it is motivational. Imagine that you could have one super power. What would it be and how would you use it? What would be your kryptonite?

For example in factories when they go X amount of days with injuries, but when there is just one, they have to start completely over from 0 and lose all of the progress that was made, but you can always become better. That would be my motivation, getting better at what I cannot
