INTRODUCTION
1.1 Backgrounds
of the Study
Why does somebody do something? Why do people go to work? Why do we go to
college? There are many reasons why we do such things.
Somebody does something because he/she wants something to be done, reached, and else. People go to work
because they want to earn money, to spend
their times, to increase
their societal status, and else. We go to school because we need knowledge,
or maybe we just want
to do our obligation to fulfill our education
status. The reasons here can be said as goals.
All of those examples make us learn that there must be something drives them to do something besides the goals we have said above, it is a motivation.
For more details about
motivation, we can do one thing
that is asking
any person who is successful in whatever he or she is doing, what motivate him/her, and
very likely, the answer
will
be
‘goals’. Goal
setting
is
extremely important
to
motivation and success. So, what motivate you? Just like what we have talked above, why are you in college? If you are in college because
that is what your parents want, you may find it difficult to motivate
yourself.
Someone will have a higher motivation if he is offered
by a reward. For example, a student will have a higher motivation to study when his father promises to give him a car if he graduates soon. However, an article found in
http://www.princeton.edu.rbenobou/RES2003.pdf said that motivation is something which comes from within really makes the difference. Further
the article says that
certainly, you need some
intelligence,
knowledge
base,
study
skills,
and
time
management skills,
but if you do not have motivation, you would get far from reaching
your success.
