Well, while inspiration and the desire to seek the truth are crucial towards having a quality research, the financial aspect is also an important consideration. Without this we might just be forced to water down our research.

Dear Stanley,

Following factors (psychological) can be argued as determinants of doing research and innovations:

1. Intention to become an effective and efficient academic in the field of interest

2. Intention to give a significant unique contribution to human development and institutional development

3. Passion for continuous learning and self-development

4. Desire to become an academic who is special, giving from his/her heart, making the world a better place for those whose lives he/she touches

5. Intention to retire as a legend in the field

Best wishes!
