My Success Evaluation

I chose motivation as my construct because I am very curious at what drives people and keeps them on track to reach goals, deadlines, and thing of this nature. Motivation of course is not something that can be measured, nor could it possibly measured accurately. First motivation can be defined in multiple ways to different people. Internal and external influences that fuel desire and energy in people to be continually involved and faithful to a job, role or subject, or to make an effort to attain a goal. Motivation results from the interaction of both conscious and unconscious factors such as the strength of desire

Motivation. There are several ways to define what motivation means, but to me motivation means you accomplish whatever needs to be completed with no excuses. The biggest incentive that is important to me is self-motivation seeing as, if you don’t believe you can do it, you won’t be able to, you have to believe it to achieve it. You can’t depend on other people to encourage you to do it, you have to want to do it on your own to become successful.

Motivation keeps me intrigue, keeps me striving in what I do what professionally and in my personal life with either learning a new skill or simply learning a new subject. Motivation is both external and internal as learned in Chapter 2 of “Cornerstone: Creating Success through Positive Changes”. I would say my biggest motivations are my two kids. They keep me wanting to do better; not only for me but for them as well. Not only to motivate them but wanting for them to excel in whatever they would choose for a career path. I need to keep pursuing a higher education and not become stagnate with nothing to fall back on. While in the military I’ve enjoyed my time and serve honorably but I do know this is not what I want to do for the rest of

Encouragement plays a significant role in my success. Without encouragement, the achievement won't come true. Juliet Ferking, the author of "A Drive to Achieve the Extraordinary" from This I Believe: Life Lessons, tells her story about

In order to ever accomplish something if it is going up the stairs, or getting to college they all have one thing in common. What is it? Motivation. Without it you couldn't do anything you wouldn't have the will to accomplish anything no matter how small. everyone has some kind of motivation in them if it is their parents, wanting more in life or just pure determination.

Motivation is based on the will to continue and achieve some means to an end. Whether it would be to wake up in the morning or to finish a doctorate in medical biology, motivation does exist. It exists for all of us and here is the response I can give for ‘what are my motivations.’

This will be my first point to what drives people to succeed. Determination. This can drive people to succeed because if you are determined enough to succeed you're going to do it. Just like Mr. Frankenstein, it took him years to create this monster because he was determined. He was so determined and focus on the end goal that he forgets to write a letter back to his

Throughout my academic career, I was presented with myriad of opportunities that encouraged me to excel in academics and extra-curricular activities. The fact that I was one of the meritorious students throughout my academic years with a 3.91 GPA bears testimony to my sincerity and drive to excel. My tenure at my undergraduate college provided me with boundless opportunities to work in a

Robert C. Meredith website “True Success: What is it” as the name suggests is a website that takes a deeper look into defining success. Similar to theme of Outliers the author not only question success but investigates it. Meredith feels that it is achieved though goals help from family, one’s career and even one’s health. I think this would be appealing to students but also an effective tool to help adolescents understand that there is no distinct way to achieve success. Similar to Gladwell he also compares others lifestyle to help prove the point that success can be achieved in various ways. From visiting the website I would want adolescents to have a deeper understanding of what is success to them means and understand everyone definition

I am motivated by the feeling I get when I have disappointed someone or most importantly myself. When I do something incorrectly, it gives me the motivation to do better. I don’t ever want to

Motivation. My motivation is twofold. The first is to know that history is a learning program, to and learning something new is what keeps me going. When I learn something new, I yearn to learn more. The second is my own success. Everything that I have set out to do, graduate high school, graduate college, become a teacher, has been accomplished. Looking back on my success gives me the motivation to continue. This also includes the small successes such as a research paper or a project.

Sometimes it’s easier for someone else to motivate a person than for that person to motivate themselves, but I believe the theory discussed in the book “MIND OVER MOOD” that a person has to change the way they think in order to change how they feel. If they change their perspective on things their motivations will change too. Motivation to me is this - setting goals, hammering into your mind to finish what you’ve started, associating with motivated people and positive thinkers, and being persistent and patient.

Motivation is a very strong tool we can use to get further in life and to achieve our dreams and goals. Setting goals for ourselves is something that I consider to be very important, I believe in always pushing myself further and further in life, not only physically but mentally as well. We all have different things or tools we can use to motivate us towards our end goals. In order for us to stay motivated we have to have a goal and be driven towards achieving that goal.

In a small part, every aspect of my life motivates me to strive for my dreams. My family; parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews and nieces motivate me and push me harder to achieve my goals and aspirations. Me being the first in my family to graduate high school, and enter into college is a tremendous amount of pressure. I want to be able to prove to them that they can reach their dreams no matter how old or young, if they are determined. Mainly, I want to show them that everything is obtainable if you work for it. My boyfriend motivates me to be the best verision of myself that I can be, we both chose to go to SFA together, after I stated I wasn’t interested in going to college. He motivates me to be better, faster, stronger and more determined. He teaches me to set high goals and reach them. Lastly, my coworkers motivate me to continue to improve my already strong work ethic. As their manager, they depend on me to teach them how to succeed in our work environment. Having people look up to me motivates me to no end. I love to set examples and be a leader to show people anything is possible.

According to the Business Dictionary the definition of motivation is, “internal and external factors that stimulate desire and energy in people to be continually interested and committed to a job, role or subject, or to make an effort to attain a goal.” So what keeps individuals motivated? Several different things keep individuals motivated. It really depends on the person and what is important to them. Some motivators are more money, career advancements, and more time off from work. There is also, recognition which is an achievement that has been received for completing a job or goal. Today, recognition is one of the top motivators amongst individuals at work. Recognition comes by word of mouth, written as a “Thank You, awards or given in monetary form as a raise or promotion just to name a few. It has been determined that being passionate about a job will keep you motivated and engaged. Individuals who are positive, optimistic, uplifting and happy usually have the drive
