How Do You Get Motivated?

Tweet

There are two kinds of motivation which are popularized by most behavioral theorists or behaviorists. One is the so-called intrinsic motivation, which comes from within your inner self. And the other is extrinsic motivation, which is drawn from outside forces. As far as I can see, getting an 1 rating is only a value added to your prioritizing of really learning more. After receiving that greatest compliment of that particular day it dawned to me he was right because when I do my readings I always wanted to really understand what I am reading. No matter how hard the literature is, I never forget the challenge of how I am going to make myself engage into it. From there I reckoned that must have been another one thing that describes the intrinsic nature of my motivation. I made use of my goal of getting the certificate in order for me to qualify for LET to get at the same time a full understanding every concept I am about to walk through. I don’t want to miss every single thing as much as possible so I always try to make an effort to be always on track and not to get derailed from every opportunity given in say forums or discussions or blogs. However, I feel like more often than not my every try is to no avail. Almost all of my co-teachers who are also teaching English have the license. Some of them if not hold a master degree are a doctor. Most of them have certifications that can back them up to the top management. The only edge I got is the longest experience in teaching I have amongst all of them. But how did I manage to excel in my performance? I guess this explains the extrinsic nature of the motivation I have in taking up PTC. I probably wanted to break even in order not to be branded as left behind. It sometimes makes me feel that’s already too late for to pursue my studies. At times I seem to have a lot of energy I feel so bored that I think I need to find ways how to be more pre-occupied. I really don’t know how much intrinsic or extrinsic the nature of my motivations to learn is. But one thing for sure there’s the drive the make me keep going. I want to make things clear and expound more by having dyadic assessment of my personal motivations. I need a partner for this. Anybody? I am not usually motivated when I receive bad comments and it just demotivates me. I don't know.
