In the TED Video, Daniel Pink discussed how the contingent motivators don’t work and often times it dulls thinking and blocks creativity (2009). The carrot and stick is not as successful in today’s generation as it used to be. Intrinsic motivators seem to be more meaningful than extrinsic motivators. In the 21st century, it is time to restructure into intrinsic motivators. I will use intrinsic motivators for goal setting and planning throughout this course. Stress is something I want to avoid so my goal is to get my schoolwork done during the week so I can enjoy my weekend with my family. I will also apply intrinsic motivation in my daily life at home with my children. I will strengthen positive reinforcement with my children
I will make A’s in all my classes. 2/17/2017 I will use TCC electronic systems to help accomplish this goal. I will also have to set short and long term goals as well as practice writing essay exams. I will create study/homework blocks of time for myself and my son.
Lastly, I would like to be able to live comfortably. Times are hard and everyone just wants to be able to pay their bills and live without financial worry. I know the higher I climb and the harder I work, the better it will be for my family and me. I have dreams of traveling and exploring the world, and my daughter knowing that there’s more out there than just Grand Junction, Colorado and, unfortunately, money is what makes that happen. So I might as well work hard for it!
I am focusing on building a strong foundation of hard work and perseverance in the next year through my schoolwork, along with learning and expanding my
When watching Derick Sivers Ted Talk titled “Keep goals to yourself” it appears to be a detailed explanation and example of causation, the philosophical theory created by Plato. Merriam-Webster defines causation as “the act or process of causing something to happen or exist” (Stephanie, 2014). When put into standard form an inductive argument becomes apparent. Sivers overall claim throughout his Ted Talk is that by keeping your goals to yourself you are more likely to complete that goal compared to someone that told people about their goal. When we undertake a critical analysis of his claim it is clear that Sivers has confused causation with correlation.
In his Ted-Talk “How to buy happiness”, Michael Norton (2011) states that happiness can be bought with money by giving it to other people. I fully agree with Norton. I received my first paycheck around Christmas last year and the first thing I bought with that money was a present for my mother. Christmas is a great example: giving and receiving gifts bonds everyone together, because it shows that we care about each other. Even helping someone you barely know is really satisfying, you did a good deed, it is good for your self-esteem.
In his book, Drive, Daniel H. Pink, takes reader on a thought-provoking analytical exploration of motivation. Ultimately, he compares motivation to a computer operating system and just like computers need upgrades along the way so does our perception of motivates people to thrive boldly. He has organized what scientist, psychologist, and forward, out-of-the-box thinkers have to support a newer way of thinking regarding motivation in the workplace. The author begins the book describing what he calls Motivation 1.0, the basic biological drive to survive which leads to an upgrade to Motivation 2.0, which is the era of rewards and punishments or carrots and sticks which seemed to work for the 20th century.
If people can’t do something, for sure they will tell you can’t do it too. And if you want something, go and get it. (Will Smith Movie Quotes That Will Motivate You Through Adversity, n.d.). Motivation can further divided into two subtypes which are intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is the motivation that comes from inner side of one self and urges him in doing something no matter what is the external reward given.
lastly, my goal is to praise myself, give myself the recognition and support that I give everyone
My motivation is intrinsic because I hold myself to a high standard and I expect a lot of myself. The motivation is also extrinsic because I know my parents do as well and I don’t want to let them down. However, I learned long ago you have to want it for yourself no matter how bad someone else wants it for me if I don’t want it for myself odds are I won't stick with it. That’s why I've chosen this career path because this is all I want and I know that’s all the motivation I need to see me
How Simon Sinek Persuade Audiences that the Secret to Success is a Reason Why In the TED talk, How Great Leaders Inspire Action, the presenter, Simon Sinek, a “leadership expert,” claims that all great leaders and innovators have one thing in common, they all have a reason why they do what they do. He convinces the audience that his claim is correct through a relatively balanced use of the three Aristotelian appeals: pathos, logos, and ethos. He gives specific facts and examples, to show his audience how his claim has worked for history’s greatest individuals and organizations. Finally, he uses rhetorical devices such as amplification and parallelism to strengthen his argument.
It is easy to get caught up thinking too far into the future and forget about what is important right now. To keep myself grounded in the present and create goals I need to ask myself one simple question; how will I reach “academic success” by the end of the current school year? The answer is simple yet complicated all at the same time. The rest of this current school year has to be all about dedication. The definition of dedication also seems simple, “the quality of being committed to a task or purpose.”
Self-Determined Theory Instead of bargaining between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, Deci et al. (1999) expanded the focus by the argument of internalization process of shifting the extrinsic behaviour to intrinsic value. Self-Determined Theory (it is referred as SDT hereafter) suggested that a self-determined individual has motivation completely internalized. SDT defines intrinsic and extrinsic causes of motivation and their respective roles in social and cognitive development and in individual differences. Most importantly, SDT focuses on the degree to which individual’s sense of initiative is affected by social and cultural factors, in addition to his well-being and the quality of his performance.
The great teachers I had truly instilled in me the importance of education and I feel it is my job to pass that on. As far as personal goals I hope to move to the Fargo-Moorhead area to begin my career and be closer to my boyfriend of seven years. It will be the first time that I don’t live in the same town as my parents and although it will be a big change it will be a great experience. Once moving to the Fargo-Moorhead area I hope to get married within the next couple years and start a family down the
Going through high school is mandatory, but getting a college education is optional. Without my own personal motivation to become a physical therapy assistant, I doubt I would have enrolled in college. Motivation is what initiates and maintains goal-oriented behavior. The forces that lie beneath motivation can be biological, emotional, social, or cognitive. My biological theory of motivation to attend school is my subconscious drive to achieve excellence.
I intend to pursue my goal and set financial stability for myself. In the next couple of years I plan to graduate college and pursue my dreams to be great. I will be financially stable and overall feel good about the decision I have made . I need to stay focused so can accomplish my goals in life to be successful I know everything I work hard for will pay off . Being able to do what I love most is all I need in life.
