Memory Motivates
Take a look at Mike Neiss post to Tom Peters Weblog (http://www.tompeters.com/entries.php?rss=1¬e=http://www.tompeters.com/blogs/main/010250.php). He demonstrates that any brief periods of great insight are usually preceded by long periods of hard work. Those amazing instances of epiphany (the Aha! Moment) can be career or life changing events. Just like a gold miner who finds a few nuggets and is hungry for more, memory of an epiphany can keep us going. We want to experience that feeling where a resolution becomes clear or we reach a new level of understanding. Dwelling on these memories gives us a great reminder of why we are working hard. Memory motivates.

Hello there :)
I've been meaning to contact you for a while now about your book. I'd like to feature it over at Pimp Your Work (http://www.pimpyourwork.com). You left a comment on my blog months ago, but the email address you entered wasn't valid. Couldn't find a contact page on your blog either, so I thought I'd leave a comment here.
Anyway, would love to interview you about your book and your ideas about work balance. If you're interested, please let me know how to contact you privately.
All the best,
Celine Roque
Celine - My e-mail address is hpeterschiller@hpeterschiller.com. I'm sorry if it was entered incorrectly on your blog. I'd be happy to hear from you regarding an interview.
