<p>Someone posted the lack of motivation in my d was that we spoiled her - that she didn’t need to earn money, so I have been wondering about it. I don’t know how does that explain that kids with the exact same resources available to them, eg. her best friend or our friend’s children apparently do not suffer from the same lack . They took the opportunities provided to them and ran with it, and end up being more accomplished. </p>
<p>I am inclined to agree that motivation innate as someone posted, but there must be a environmental component. I notice most people from extremely impoverished upbringings tend to be very motivated to seek financial security, must more so people who never went without.</p>
