If you have ever been motivated from insult you get from your spouse, please share your experience.

Mine was when I got my first car. Then, I was learning to drive and I wasn't good at driving.
So I would leave my newly bought car (Honda CR-V) at home in addition with a car key of Toyota Hilux of a farm I worked with then. I would take Okada to work and also come back with Okada while I had access to 2 car keys at my disposal.

One day while I was preparing for work, my wife said, how on earth will a man has 2 car keys at his disposal and he will be riding on Okada everyday.

I got the sensitive message as an insult on my part. But I didn't let her know how I felt. So I decided within myself and I summoned courage.

Next day, after I had prepared for work, I took my car key heading to where I parked the car. My wife asked me where I was going with the car, I said office.
She said I shouldn't go to the office with the car until I learn how to drive perfectly.

I said to her that, I have been motivated by your words. I drove the car to my office and back to my house with little fear. Since that day, I have been driving perfectly and I overcame the fear of driving.

U dy wait before them insult you before u go motivate urself?

Reminds me of when I was about to start riding keke... Everyone including my siblings were all making jest of me, thinking I wouldn't be able to ride it.....No doubt,I haven't for once rode on a bicycle let alone a bike let alone a trycycle(keke)......I was even full of doubts.......No one was ready to put me through........So I made up my mind,and said to myself-"all die na die" . The first day I got my keke,I rode along the express road where trailers were passing . My nephew who was with me was so scared thinking I would kill him . After that day,na once I become a pro..

Dheh

Every bukateria back then has these inscriptions

"No credit today, come tomorrow"

"No food for lazy man"

I don't think you are married. Because if you are, you would understand my point.

I’m not married yet (soon by the grace of almighty) and I understand your point fully well.

Ppl underestimate ppl very well, I do not wait for someone to underestimate me before I can be motivated.
