I read blogs and find some interesting stuff about testing. The question comes to my mind what is that thing which keeps them going on and on. Ah!! Here we go. It will vary as per the person but there are some patterns which I've observed.
Some patterns like:
(a) curiosity
(b) zeal
(c) excitement
(d) innovation
(e) creative ideas
(f) always find out other way to do the same thing
(g) motivating yourself that you're doing wonderful job!
etc....
The list can vary for others as per their priority as I tried to cover the hot ones. People can argue here as to what all things has to with their work. My friend....it will not only gives you new ideas or brainstorming ideas but also you'll find that you've raised the bar in your productivity. It always matter what attitude we keep the work we're doing. If some task comes to your desk and you say it is just one of those which you hate then definitely it will make you feel worse! But what if we try to find the different ways for the routine and add some flavor to it ....wouldn't it be good then?
All gurus of testing always on hunt for innovative ideas on how to do the same work day in day out. It serves two purposes it gives them a good brainstorming and at the same time the joy of doing the task in hand. These people will never complain about the work they're doing. Wouldn't it be great to join them?
I am just in the phase where I'm trying to innovate some ways to complete the task in hand with a big smile on my face. :)

You're certainly right that it depends from person to person. As you know, I have the pleasure of working with testers from around the world with varying backgrounds and experience. Common calls among the passtionate are: problem-solving, curiosity, a strive for continuous learning, being able to get their hands on innovate pre-released software, etc. The list goes on and on.
I have to say that you, Amit, bring a lot of passion to the uTest community - so kudos to you. Many new testers have benefited from your posts and replies on the forums. Keep up the knowledge sharing and passion!
