Getting out of Bed in the Morning and real motivation

One not very helpful or original question asked in interviews is "What gets you out of bed in the morning?" This question is bad because no one is going to answer it truthfully. 

Come on. The first reason is the alarm or someone telling you to. The second (acually the first the older you get) is having to use the toilet (I mean, seriously). The third is responsibilities that never go away in some form of another; when they do, that is more sad than a cause of celebration. Responsibilities connect us more than they imprison us. 

However, I am reading a book given to me, one I would not pick up on my own because it's by a famous radio pastor and the cover claims he is a New York Times Bestselling Author. The book is really transcribed sermons, but a good read. And he answers this question: 

There may be many factors in a person's motivation levels, but I can give you one that overrides all others. When you understand what Jesus Christ has done for you, what He can do for you, what He offers you, the riches available to you, and the plans and expectations He has for you, you've found the greatest single motivation for diligent living the world will ever know.  

My only problem with this is, as I have written and will write again soon, the singular you versus the plural you. 

(As an academic I have to be truthful here. It's David Jeremiah, Everything You Need. He has always kept pretty godly profile and not let the whole fame thing go out of hand, so I respect him.)

If we get asked this in an interview, I think it's an excellent time to be clear about one's commitment to Christ and that the commitment makes us a focused and diligent employee, but it's not mainly about getting the job at that point. It's about "giving a reason for the hope that lies within you." I was asked this question in one of my doctoral orals and answered it honestly, but they wanted more. So be it.
