Yesterday Sachin Tendulkar scored 50 test centuries - the only batsman in the world to do so. When the press asked him about his feelings about his achievement, his response that he did not play for records. He played because he loved the game and wanted to deliver his best each and every time. The numerous feats he has achieved on the way are just by-products and recognitions of his efforts and talent. Donald Trump too has similar sentiments. For him finding value in properties and closing deals is what he enjoys doing. And over time he has got good at it. Wealth was never his motivator but only a way of keeping score!
These achievers in their own matter of fact way teach one the value of identifying one's true interests, one's inner motivators and strengths and doing what you like not for some extraneous benefits but because you like doing them. Rewards and recognition will come by if you truly excel in your field and that would only happen when you put your heart and soul in to it.
