When my harmony prayed for me and gave me her blessing my sophomore year in college with these words: “너가 훌륭한 사람을 되길 할머니가 매일 기도한다.” Can’t ever forget those words and always think of my grandparents when I get lazy or unmotivated. There’s no excuse to not honor them, even as they are still alive.

Pride and parents are big motivators. Everything I make I always want to give back to my parents

Love the job, so there’s a lot of intrinsic motivation. Definitely also want to make my parents happy, and for them, it’s seeing me be happy and do something I love

@SC1, same. Happiest moments come from being able to do something for them and take them on trips

The debt.. just cant beat it

I second parents as one motivator.

For me, its mostly the allure of “better” exits the longer I grind in consulting. I constantly question this though
