Synopsis

Motivation is the key to success in life, particularly in the martial arts. Students need motivation to achieve their goals. Instructors need motivation to give their best to every class. And more importantly, every instructor must understand the keys to motivating their students to stay focused and enthusiastic in their daily workouts. This book is divided into two types of motivation: the inspiration section, with hundreds of motivational sayings to inspire you and the application section, with hundreds of specific things you can do to get motivated or motivate others. It also includes the theory of motivation and the difference between good and bad methods of motivating others.

Review:

A book you''ll enjoy reading when you need a motivational boost. -- Self-Employment Survival Letter, November 1995

Benjamin Franklin had nothing on Sang H. Kim. Although Kim's latest treasure is similar to Franklin's classic collection of maxims, "Poor Richard's Almanac", his suggestions are more applicable and poignant than 200-year-old recommendations for better living. Kim's book is geared toward businessmen of today, but anyone can benefit from his sage advice. Kim divides the book into 15 chapters each directed towrd subjects such as "How to Motivate your Boss" and tricks to motivate change or productivity. Truly 1001 Ways is worth 1001 dollars, so at this price, it's money well spent - something that would make old Ben proud. -- Beaufort Gazette

Disguised beneath a boring cover is a fun handbook with motivational tips and sayings - in bullet-point format - for motivating yourself, your boss, employees, peers, students or customers, in situations of conflict resolution, creativity, decision making and leadership. Based on the book's message of courage and believing in yourself, it comes as no surprise that Kim is a taekwondo master and motivatinal speaker. This book shows that self-esteem, action, motivation and a "don't mess with me" atttitude can in fact be a part of the Asian American psyche. -- A Magazine: Inside Asian America

Practical strategies for boosting your motivation. --Bottom Line Business, April 1, 1996
