What inspires people?

As  I wrote about, I think inspiration and passion are the fuel for success.  But what inspires people?  What are people passionate about?  Can we learn from those things to make the people of our organization more inspired and passionate about what they do?

A good place to start, what things are people so passionate about that people are willing to share that passion with total strangers, what stickers are people willing to put on their car?  Politics, religion, sports teams, their kids achievements, hobbies, where they vacation, funny sayings, causes, their college...

What do people argue about?  The list is actually pretty similar.

What are some aspects of these things that would cause people to be passionate?  What stands out is that the either call for some greater meaning in their lives or they make a statement about the person.
