Motivation

What make peoples get up in the morning and (here in Japan) commute for one to two hours in packed trains? Trains with up to 400% over-capacity during the morning rush is the norm rather than the exception in most trains into Tokyo.

So what does motivate us to get to work? First of all what is motivation?

Wordnet gives the following description:

The psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired goal; the reason for the action; that which gives purpose and direction to behavior

but also

the condition of being motivated

And

the act of motivating; providing incentive.

Or

What I want,
Why I want it,
How I want it,

Pretty complex questions. As if we are asking ourselves this every day before we get crushed in the train. But we should ask ourselves these questions! Unfortunately most of us don’t.
WorkVitamins! At least you should go to work at a place that motivates! Who wants to be Dilbert?
