# Motivation and Inspiration # In the morning, when I was walking with my wife, we were having a debate on the topics of novels, we were dragged into the discussion on the difference between motivation and inspiration. My wife was with the point that both are the same thing, both advocate doing something being energetic seeing others. Well, I agreed with that fact with some reservations. My reservation was: Many of us used these two words interchangeably. It seems that both have the same meaning but they differ slightly. Suppose, I read a biography of Helen Keller, and now two things happen I get energetic to do some tasks from within, and the story loses its emphasis here and the other is I get energetic with the influence of her story. Here, I am charged within, is the inspiration, and I am charged by, is the motivation. This is what I know they have differentiation. Thank you, © Lawa1988
