MOTIVATION MOTIVATION & PERSEVERANCE
Definitions of Motivation • “Motivation is the act of stimulating someone to get a desired course of action.” ---- Michael Jucius • “Motivation means the phenomena involved in the operations of incentives and drives.” ---- James Drive • “Motivation is the process (a) of arousing or initiating behavior, (b) of sustaining an activity in progress, and (c) of channeling of activity in the given course.” ---- P.T.

Persistence • Be of good cheer.Do not think of today's failures,but of the success that may come tomorrow.You have set yourselves a difficult task,but you will succeed if you persevere;and you will find joy in overcoming obstacles.Remember, no effort that we make to attainsomething beautiful is ever lost. - Helen Keller
Successful motivation involves: • Getting people to do what you want them to do • When you want them to do it • The way you want them to do it • Because they want to do it
For a moment, close your eyes and think • With all your limbs intact how far you can go? Are you just another person who thinks about the future……or…..Are you the person who wants to own it?
Everything begins with a thought… What you think determines who you are… Who you are determines what you do… What you do often, becomes a habit… Habits determine your lifestyle… Lifestyle determines your destiny… Your destiny determines your legacy. Motivation is a Journey, not a Destination MOTIVATION
Positive and negative Motivation Sometimes a distinction is made between positive and negative motivation. Positive motivation is a response which includes enjoyment and optimism about the tasks that you are involved in. Negative motivation involves undertaking tasks because there will be undesirable outcomes, e.g.. failing a subject, if tasks are not completed.
