Answer

People are motivated to succeed for various reasons. Those who are seeking wealth know that it can allow them to buy what they want, as well as to gain in status and feel more important than others.

But there are others who are motivated to do something they love to do. They are not as concerned about money, although they would like to gain recognition. Artists are a good example of this.

Finally, there are people who are motivated to help others and make a difference in the world.

The ideal motivation that would result in success and happiness would be to do what you love to do, to have it help out others, and also to make good money from doing that.

Answer

The more you write, the easier it should be for you. As your ability improves, the words seem to flow better. Note that you should always make sure your spelling an grammar are correct.

Carefully read your material yourself, putting yourself in the role of a reader of lower education than you. Is it easy to read? Can you understand the ideas?

It is good to get someone else to read what you have written to get an honest evaluation. If they have trouble understanding what you have written, then you need to work on that.

Remember that writing is communicating your ideas to another person.
