Motivation Notes

"Motivation is a theoretical construct used to explain behavior. It can also be defined as one's direction to behavior or what causes a person to want to repeat a behavior and vice versa."

"We seek pleasure and avoid pain."

All of us are good at something although we might not know what that something is.

Extrinsic Motivation
     Motivation you get from the outside.
