we're all very glad that you've risen to a point where you don't need outside motivation to pursue your training. for most mortals, though, the belts are a very helpful tool.
First of all. I don't think I have used any sarcasm with my question nor with my following opinions, thus I don't think I deserve your sarcasm. If you don't like my position just don't read the thread. Said that lemme tell you how "risen" I am.
I work because I have to. I do Tai Chi because I LOVE it. Do I need motivation for the job? Well yes, my family is one. Do I need motivation to do Tai Chi? Heck no, I have alot of fun. Whenever I walk every 3-4 steps I throw in a Tai Chi step or something related to it. You know what gives me more motivation (I would define more satisfaction than motivation) during a class? The teacher coming up to me correcting a wrong angle or posture, she gives me something to work on.
I don't like Golf and I would need motivations to play it...that's why I don't play it. Am I not mortal for choosing to do what I like and not to do what I don't like? Well then we can all be non mortals...
If I was a teacher between having 100 students in front of me who needs a motivation to learn coz they are not fully interested/attracted by the Art and having 1 student who is there to learn because he loves it, I would go 100% with 1 student.
