WHAT DRIVES YOUR PASSION AND INNER MOTIVATION?
As for me, I find my motivation in what the majority says is "not possible."
I find an inner push when I discover there is a gap that needs to be leveled up.
When I joined Edit-a-thon, there was no other lady in the group. We were about 4 guys, and I made up the fifth person and the only lady.
If my inner motivation hadn't been strong enough, I would have left that group on the first day.
At one point, some of the guys I initially relied on decided to discontinue with us.
Several people even suggested that I should quit, saying it wasn't going to be possible to go through such a marathon as the only lady.
I accepted their advice but still moved on with the project without any second thoughts.
What is that one unique thing that drives your passion?
What is that special reason that makes you stay positive?
Find it and nurture it.
When you recognize that one unique thing that drives your passion, then you have found yourself.
This is to remind you again that I am ready to embark on 180 hours of non-stop editing of articles on Wikipedia to break the Guinness World Record.
This event is coming up on November 2024, a few months from now, in Lagos State, Nigeria.
We are still recruiting people who are ready to represent their states in this marathon.
And, as of now, 11 states have been represented to celebrate Nigerian culture and heritage on Wikipedia.
Don't hesitate to join us if you are interested.
Also, we need sponsors who are ready to support us in this movement, both in cash and in kind. Please, reach out to me if you want to.
Above all, we believe that editing and proofreading make a difference.
Let's do this.
