Work and Motivation

As I was sitting in class today and we were discussing work and motivation, I though of a few videos that I have seen in recent months. This first one is on motivation, especially in the workplace. Sometimes it makes me wonder what that level of pay is in order to maintain our security. I hope you've asked yourself some pretty deep questions in regards to how to better apply this to your own learnings. What is the best way for you to learn, and for me to teach? The other video that I thought about had to do with work. Where does work happen? How does work happen? I was especially happy that the presentation today mentioned "flow", or the deep thinking/work that occurs when, as I like to call it, you're in the zone. Believe it or not, it's really difficult to get in "the zone". Consider this:

Consider these two videos separately and they are intriguing. Consider them in conjunction with one another and they become revealing, inspiring, and game changing. How can you use these two concepts/theories to better enhance YOUR life? How can teachers use these concepts to better educate you? I'd love to read your thoughts in the comment section.
