To have strong drive.
Contexto cultural
The concept of 'Indre motivasjon' is central to the Norwegian school system (Enhetsskolen). There is a strong cultural belief that learning should be driven by interest rather than grades. In Norwegian flat-hierarchy workplaces, managers expect employees to have 'sterk motivasjon' and be self-managed (selvgående) rather than needing constant supervision. Norwegians often use this phrase when talking about 'toppturer' (mountain hikes). The 'sterk motivasjon' is what gets you through the rain and wind to reach the summit. In discussions about the welfare state (NAV), there is often a political debate about how to maintain 'motivasjon' for work while providing a safety net.
