As a child I had great admiration for my father’s profession and I wanted to be like him. My dad is a military doctor. Growing up, my mother and I would occasionally visit the military hospital. During our visits, I observed in admiration his interactions with his colleagues and the respect he wielded from junior officers. I also admired his military regalia and medical attire, and I longed to dress in similar outfits. Furthermore, I developed a desire to help the sick as I witnessed my mother and father (a laboratory technician and doctor respectively) work to nurture the sick back to health. Seeing the gratification both of my parents had in their jobs, inspired me to want to pursue a career in medicine. However,…
Motivation is basically about the desire of one to achieve something as motivation act as a force that pushes us towards performing an actionand finally bringing us the achievement.For example, when we are thirsty, we will go get a glass of water to quench our thirst. Here, quenching our thirst is set as our motivation and the act of getting a glass of water to drink is the performing action. This shows us that motivation is what causes us to act. Hence, motivation can also be said as a process that initiates, guides and maintains our goals until we achieve it. From the resource, Lifehack (n.d.),there are six different types of motivation which can influence different person behavior in its own unique way because each of us has our very own personalities and characteristics.Majority of people can be motivated by incentive, fear, achievement, growth, power and social factors. Incentive is a motivation that involves reward as people are driven by the facts that if they achieve a certain target, they will be rewarded. While fear motivation involves consequences such as when a person is in fear of getting punish he or she will try their best to achieve their targets. Next is achievement motivation which happens when people are driven to compete with others or themselves. The feeling of achievement is their desire motivation. Other than that is the motivation of growth. It happens when people desire self-improvement such as increasing their knowledge or skills. Next is the motivation of power where people are in desire to control everything within their means to achieve something. Furthermore, many people are motivated by social factors too. This can be their desire to be accepted or belong to a specific peer group.It is important to understand the different types of motivation so that we will be able to determine which form of motivation is the most effective one for inspiring our desire in achieving target. As there is a saying goes, “the will to succeed is important…
People are individually motivated to achieve certain goals, meet particular desires, and ultimately define his or her purpose and the inspiration that guides these thoughts, actions, and behaviors. Motivation refers to a set of factors that “activate, direct, and maintain behavior, usually toward some goal” (Huffman, 2010, p. 406). Theories or sources involved in driving motivation emphasize biological, psychological, social forces, and the environment (Deckers, 2010; Huffman, 2010). This essay thoroughly discusses motivation, examines a couple of sources that contribute to motivation, emphasizes the relationship between motivation and behavior, and includes how behavior can exhibit motivation. Although many researchers debate regarding contributing factors and sources in motivation, a clear and comprehensive approach is to consider all perspectives concerning each person’s individuality.…
The definition of motivation is the driving force that causes the change from a desire to do thing into a will to do it. Motivation in this English class means to me having the will to write an essay at three in the morning because you put it off, better yet the motivation to graduate from college so that I will not be another statistic, or maybe it’s the motivation that I receive from my family that makes me want to strive harder and reach for the stars. Motivation could be defined in many different ways and could be seen from all different aspects, but it’s the driving force that causes the change from a desire to do things into a will to do things.…

Two sources of motivation are internal and external (Deckers, 2010). Internal sources include biological and psychological and external sources are environmental (Deckers, 2010). “Biological variables refer to material characteristics of the body and brain that serve to motivate behavior” and “as a general rule, as biological indicators of hunger increases, the motivation for acquiring, preparing, and eating food increase” (Deckers, 2010, p. 8). An example of the biological variables, as a retired member of the military one learns quickly what biological variables mean when going through survival training, one will learn to hunt, capture, prepare, and eat whatever to survive. “Psychological variables refer to motives and are studied indirectly through measurable indicators” and “as a general rule, as indicators of a psychological need increase, the motivation for need-relevant incentives, consummatory behaviors, and associated feelings increase” (Deckers, 2010, p. 8). An example of the psychological variables,…

To be motivated, according to Arthur Schopenhaur, is to be moved into action. This definition of motivation implies that there must be someone, something, or some internal drive that propels one into action (Deckers, 2005). Therefore, any action committed by an organism is induced by either internal motives or environmental incentives. Driven by motives, a person will work to achieve positive incentives and to try to avoid negative ones. An incentive is the reward or aversive event that will occur or be avoided as a direct result of the action or lack thereof.…
