The answer to the first question is hard because it is taking away a lot of what makes you who you are wether some admit it or not. So I will try to answer it.
I am the nameless individual that made you smile today with a quirky grin and deep brown eyes. I am someone who is very self conscious I am an interacting human .
The second question I don't like to much because my motivations are different from day to day. Say , for an interview I would lie because for a job my motivations don't really match what corporations are looking for. My motivation can be too eat,piss,wipe the crust out of my eyes ( base needs), Other days my motivation is to experience a warm breeze on my arm and content in my heart watching my nieces and nephew laugh. (need for belonging)
I am the summation of thousands of years of evolution.
But not quite at the top of Maslow's Hierarchy.
...........Don't all laugh at once it may be deafening.

Take a moment to reflect on the 2 questions below:1) If you were to take away title/position, take away hobbies, take away images imposed by others or self...and then answer the question: "Who are you?", how would you reply?
2) If you were to void station and status in life and consider what it is that motivates you to sit up, place your feet on the ground and get going every morning. How would you respond to the question: "What's your motivation?"
1. I'm just a soul that will never be fulfilled, or satisfied.
2. To someday prove to everyone that I'm worth something. I live for no one else, not even myself. Love cannot inspire me to live, because I don't believe in the temporary, insubstantial human emotions. I live only for the sake of it. And because I don't believe death is any better alternative.
