Nevertheless, there was one more thing I did want to know. What gets these people out of bed in the morning, what drives them?

So I asked and this is what they said: the prospect of discovery; change something in the world; passion of discovering something new; doing something useful; the curiosity about what is going on in the universe; anger, writing and “when things are difficult it makes me even more determined”.

After all this, I needed a rest, but I could not as my head was spinning with all this energy. So what gets YOU out of bed every morning?
