What is motivation?
The term motivation is derived from the Latin
word movere, meaning “to move.”Motivation is the
process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented
behaviors. It is what induces an individual or a group of
people to work. It also involves the biological, emotional,
social, and cognitive forces that activate behavior.
Motivation is made of three components: activation,
persistence and intensity.
Where does motivation
come from?
2-1- Extrinsic motivation.
Simply put, extrinsic motivation refers to the behavior of individuals to perform
tasks and learn new skills because of external rewards or avoidance of
punishment. In this case, you engage in behavior not because you enjoy it or
because you find it appealing or satisfying, but in order to obtain value in return
or avoid something unpleasant.

2-2- Intrinsic motivation.


Intrinsic motivation refers to the act of doing something that does not have any
obvious external rewards. You do it because it is enjoyable and interesting to
you, not because of any outside incentive or pressures, like rewards or
deadlines. In short, intrinsic motivation is performing an activity for its own sake
rather than the desire for some external reward or out of some external
pressure. Essentially, the behavior itself is its own reward.
2-3- How one compliments the other.
A research conducted by Robert S. Weinberg shows that extrinsic rewards affect
intrinsic motivation depending on how recipients interpret them. If recipients
believe that the rewards provide positive information about their own

3-2-1- Revisiting commitment.
Sometimes It can be hard for us to stay committed to something because we might
not love it, or we might be wasting our energy doing something else.
Either way, we should ask ourselves: “why am I doing this in the first place” to:
● Restore drive and passion.
● Eliminate excuses.
Another thing we can do, is to examine our motivators to:
● See if any motivator is harming the other.
● Find a middle-ground to achieve as much as possible.
What sets a motivated
learner apart?
3-2-2- Avoiding the “Try, But, Can’t.” terminology.

Words can be more powerful than we think. With that said we need to be more
attentive of what we say, because words can be indicative of our level of
commitment.
“I will go to bed before midnight”. Sounds a lot more positive and certain than: “I
will try to go to bed before midnight.
Same goes for But and Can’t, as they both reflect uncertainty and doubt, and it’s
best not to use them.
What sets a motivated
learner apart?
3-2-3- Mental Paralysis.
Refers to the back-and-forth that goes on in one’s head, between
encouraging themselves to accomplish something by saying “Yes”, and
halting that encouragement and commitment by saying “but”. That self-
doubt functions as a barrier that keeps us from trying; it deprives us of
motivation and hope.
One might say:
-” Yes, I will start devoting more of my time to studying math.”
-“But my level in math is beyond salvageable, the extra time wouldn’t help
much!”
-“Yes, I guess my brain wasn’t made to handle math in the first place.”
Dealing with failure.
Failure is inevitable, we can only do so much to make something
happen the way we wanted to. That’s why we should deal with
failure by:
● Revisiting our choices, and approach.
● Move on and never lose hope.
Dealing with failure.
4-1 managing excuses.
Excuses put their weight on us, they’re a roadblock in the path to
success. Instead of trying to find excuses, we should work on our
goals. And if we ever think of quitting because of an incident or an
unachieved goal, we should realize that we might miss out on
success if we don’t keep trying.
