Stay Self Motivated
Stay Self Motivated
To stay motivated to pursue desired results and finally achieve
what you wanted is very important. Let me illustrate it through
an example, Ankita is studying science in her final year in
school. She is bright, though she has never managed better than
65 per cent average. Her class participation is spotty and she
would rather spend her time for channel surfing, listening to
music or chatting on the phone.
But reality is slowly beginning to raise its head. A tiny spark
of motivation is beginning to energize her study habits. She has
understood the link between academic achievement and the kind of
career she will get to pursue in the future. The revelation has
not exactly transformed Ankita into an ace scholar. Studying
will always be a means to an end for her and you can bet she
will never enjoy it hugely. But at least she has recognized its
utility. Now she has become little more serious in her efforts
because she has realized that she has to improve her score to
above 70% for the career she is aspiring for.
Intrinsic And Extrinsic Motivation: Motivators are either
intrinsic or extrinsic. What is the difference? You sign up for
drama club fully knowing that it may not even fetch you points
for extra-curricular work, you happily stay back for practice
after school for two full weeks simply because you love acting.
You also turn up for extra classes in mathematics right through
the winter break. You hate the thought of committing all those
dreadful formulae to memory and could not care less whether
fractions are simple or complex, but you know it is necessary to
pass in exams. In the first
scenario, you are motivated by
intrinsic factors - you stay back for drama class for no other
reason than your true love for it and fact that you thoroughly
enjoy it.
The second scenario is an example of extrinsic motivation. While
you have no interest in mathematics, your reward for taking the
classes is external - you will be able to score better in your
final examination, which will move you closer to your ultimate
goal of securing a good job for your-self.
Extrinsic motivation can help you wade through the boring or
unpleasant tasks that are part of the process of reaching your
goal. A vivid visual image of your final goal can be a powerful
motivating force. For example, my sister would picture what her
job, as a computer programmer would be like whenever she needed
a little help getting through difficult exercises. Just figuring
out her day in distant future as a programmer with out learning
the required skills will motivate her to go ahead with the
exercise though she did not like to do it now.
