Motivation Motivation is defined as the “initiation, direction, intensity, persistence, and quality of behaviour, especially goal- directed behaviour.” ( Brophy, 2010) . It is that inner drive that keeps us going and moves us forward with our academic pursuits. It is the reason why we do the things we do.  Motivation can sometimes wane if one feels overwhelmed with too much material or the course content lacks meaning . It could be the weather, or perhaps a feeling that success is not possible, so why bother. How does one maintain motivation? Strategies to Maintain Motivation Self management: It is important to check how you are doing so that you can make change. Self montoring and reflection can be an important strategy to stay on track. Self monitoring requires constant self evaluation and asking questions. See the Task Analysis worksheet below to consider the ease and the challenges of the task at hand. Motivational Checklist (Alderman 1999): Consider the following id...

ABSTRACT It is generally observed that people develop at different rates and under different conditions and also have different tendencies or interests. Some of these are acquired by nature, others by nurture. Each individual is unique and so different individuals may react differently to different stimuli or even the same stimulus. Certain factors such as hormones, culture,geography, religion, economics, politics, intellect, ideology, motivation, instincts, etc, may contribute to our behaviour, habits, goals and achievements. What is true for an individual may also be true for a group of individuals, a body or an organization. Thus, different organizations operate at different levels, set different goals and even progress at different rates, thanks to the same factors enumerated above. However, this study pursues the role of motivation on organization. The methodology adopted is mainly that of primary and secondary library research. No recourse is made to field research o...

We’ve said it time and time again, and we’re going to keep saying it because dammit, this is an important lesson to learn: Success takes effort.   Yes, some lucky people are born into money, or happen upon genius inventions, or buy the right stocks at the right time and end up financially set, and that’s great. However, those are the exceptions to the rule.  Being successful is working hard and achieving something big. It’s accomplishing things that even you thought you couldn't do. 

One of the success traits that are shared by elite performers is the ability to observe at what I call a level III. Level I observation is an awareness that is directed on yourself. You pay attention to only the aspects of the environment that impact you. How do you feel? What moods are you experiencing? How's your physiology? How are your hopes and dreams doing? This level of observation is not good or bad. It is however very limiting in terms of your ability to have an impact as a leader. A level II observation is primarily focused on the other person. What do you need? What are you experiencing? Again, not good or bad but below the observation level that would bring optimum performance on your part. The peak performance observation comes from a level III. Level III is where you are aware and observing every aspect of your presence. You are aware of what’s happening personally, of what’s going on with the other person and an overall intuitive sense of what’s happening all a...

INTRODUCTION Throughout our lives we all ask endless questions about what we want to do in the future, whether short or long term, or whether it has to do with the study or work, questions like: What do we want? How do we want? How soon? and after we get what we wanted, what we do with it? These questions allow you to define the way we choose to reach a decision or another, may be trivial or momentous. That is why “Motivation" is what guarantees us to be focused on what we want, and direct people toward getting the things they crave. You could say that all the processes and decisions that are made in the course of life, are subject to the degree of incentive or motivation you have. Hence the motivation is used as an educational tool by teachers in the case of schools or related to education, and in the case of the employers to improve workforce development. DEVELOPMENT Motivation Concept Motivation consist of all the factors that cause, maintain and direct behavior towar...

If you are a writer, and you have a novel idea that you are excited about writing, write it. Don’t go on message boards and ask random Internet denizens whether or not something is allowed. … Who is the writer here? YOU ARE. Whose book is it? YOUR BOOK. There are no writing police. No one is going to arrest you if you write a teen vampire novel post  Twilight . No one is going to send you off to a desert island to live a wretched life of worm eating and regret because your book includes things that could be seen as cliché.  If you have a book that you want to write, just write the damn thing. Don’t worry about selling it; that comes later. Instead, worry about making your book good. Worry about the best way to order your scenes to create maximum tension, worry about if your character’s actions are actually in character; worry about your grammar. DON’T worry about which of your stylistic choices some potential future editor will use to reject you, and for the love of My Lit...

This is the system I’ve used since my sophomore year of high school for notes and its worked consistently, all the way through to my senior year of college. I hope it helps! I generally use three different color pens in bright shades. You want your notes to be something you enjoy looking at. One color is for headings and important, must remember facts (pink). One color is for key words and theories (green) and one is for definitions (purple). If I’m given a diagram during a lecture, I do my best to copy it down. Then I try to describe whats going on in my own words. Having a mental image of some important process has saved my but on an exam multiple times! I also draw little example pictures inline with the text of my notes as additional memory devices. If the professor makes the class slides available before the lecture, I’ll print them and write general summaries of the material in my notes ahead of time. That will save you from rushing in lecture and give y...
