Blog 2 Motivation
Define Motivation.
Motivation means something or an action that helps someone to move toward a particular goal.
What does motivation mean to you?
Motivation to me means something that moves me into accomplishing a goal, whether in school or personally.
How are you motivated?
I am motivated by my family. I have a big family and being a good example (good role model)to them helps me to do better in school, life, and whatever it is I set out to do. Also, changing my financial situation such as, being able to contribute to my family financially helps a lot. As an adult, I am motivated by personal achievment, being able to say "I tried, I accomplished what I set out to do and I did it or I finished it".
I know what you mean about being the role model pushing you to do better. Them darn, I mean precious, kids see everything you do. Not only your own kids, but the students in your classroom.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I have noticed over the past few years that society is accepting failure much more graciously than before. These days " I tried" is OK, "I didn't do what I set out to do, nowhere near it. But, hey, at least I tried".
What happened to the days of "try and try again"?
