Comment on Ask HN: What Motivates You?

Comments

Spite. Spite is a great motivator. "I'll show them," so you keep at it. (Why do I feel I need to put this footnote in: That you know and understand WTF you're doing and not be blindly delusional. Spite is reasonable, rational opposition; not having your head up your ass.)

Yes, make em pay for kicking your ass in high school.

Yep, spite is definitely part of it here. I love proving people wrong when they doubt me... there's no sweeter feeling than knowing you did something that nobody believed you could do.
