Deniz keep in mind the people I refer to in this article. There is a generalization, but it still involves a small group that has gone thorough an intense preparation and education period. So the expectations and ambitions are much higher than usual.
There are actually numerous examples to people who achieved so much in so less. One extreme example could be Mark Zuckerberg. The bios for such people are easily accessible in the media nowadays and it is hard to disregard them. We keep reading more and more success stories (on the TV, the Internet and in magazines and books) and are drawn to it much more than the previous generations. We learn the value of taking risks. We see the return on going against the bigger crowd. Yet we are haunted by our own tiny achievements (if any, so far).
Motivation can not be there indefinitely. There has to be small achievements along the way to refresh it. In my opinion motivation is tied to contentment and recognition. Getting into a great college, the expectations after graduation was a contentment and recognition.
Some of us might have already become content with their achievements, but I feel like I still have a long way to go. Some might agree, some might not, but I have witnessed the same problem with a few of my friends.
I am not pessimistic, but I know I have failed so far at achieving the contentment I am yearning for. I still have motivation, but I hope I can preserve the same level until I can finally say “I am there”.
I look forward to your reply.

I mean who achieved so much in so less… obviously the people who are recognized didnt become succesful over night. and in my opinion 3-4 years of working is only the begining. problem is if you feel unmotivated now then how are you planing on reaching success in the future?
Its mainly in your hands really.
