The topic we are discussing today is to be the concept of motivation and the different aspects of the self that contribute to it. The idea presented is that there are three components of a person's motivation: the id (or "本我" in Chinese), the temporal self (or "时间我"), and the future self (or "未来我").
According to this concept, the id is part of a person that operates on an unconscious level and makes decisions without much conscious thought. The future self is part of a person that provides motivation and goals for the id, while the temporal self is responsible for breaking down those goals into smaller, actionable steps.
The temporal self is described as linear, meaning that it operates in a sequential, cause-and-effect manner. It differs from the future self, which provides motivation based on the end result or outcome of a particular goal. The temporal self, on the other hand, assigns meaning and purpose to the actions taken to achieve those goals.
In summary, this concept suggests that motivation is a complex process that involves different aspects of the self, including unconscious motivations, long-term goals, and short-term actions. The temporal self and future self play different roles in motivating the id to take action, with the temporal self focusing on the meaning and purpose of those actions and the future self-providing motivation based on the end result.
