User blog:Insert Your Name Here/Just some thoughts about our own motivations

It's 22h30, and I'm currently sitting at my home in front of my little laptop. My shoulder is hurting quite hard right now so I'm going to take a day off. I guess it might be time for me to look back the few months working on this wiki.

The two and a quarter months since September has been eventful for me. From meeting puff, to fighting carp, starting a little campaign on reworking pages to rushing forward for rollback and chat mod right, I feel like I have never truly gotten a chance to rest. The recent events have also changed me a lot: I learn to be better at writing stuff, working with people and being more calm and collective... Most importantly, they taught me about how important having a motivation is in every day life.

Looking at myself, I could say that my character can change drastically depending on whether I have something to motivate me or not. When I have it, I am a productive and maybe even workaholic person. I can be friendly and work well with most other people, and I can make sound decision with little trouble. However, when I lose a part of it, everything seems to go to heck. I become irrational, moody, tired, and generally dysfunctional. I really felt that effect today when I got a bad grade because my friend screwed up for no definite reason: I ended up being unable to learn anything for the rest of the day, while normally I am a bright, smart and talkative student.

So to all of you who are making useful contribution to this wiki (protip: it's mainspace), especially the staff team, what is the thing that is convincing you to stay here and endure the daily life? Is it power, fame, popularity or sheer fun? Or maybe just a special person?
