Motivation

'Failure is not an option'.  This famous line was said by the Mission Director of Apollo 13, Jean Kranz. Apollo 13 had developed some technical problem while in space and had to give up the plan of landing on the moon. The crew of astronauts had to be brought back to the Earth safely with whatever limited resources they were left with in the space craft!

Once the failure option was eliminated, the team at NASA was freed from the brakes. With full focus they started working on the task at hand, using all their technical knowledge, creativity, resourcefulnessand the can-do attitude.

The result wsa that they were able to guide and bring back the crew of Apollo 13 safely to Earth!

At times, motivation means cutting off the rope of retreat, motivation means not looking back - only looking ahead, motivation means strecting yourself and your team to the highest potential. Motivation also means a fight for survival!
