As you may have heard, Mr. Swift has made a very modest proposal about what to do with the situation of starvation among adults. Mr. Swift has proposed that after a year of a child's birth, they be eaten if the family wishes. I, being a mother of a baby, currently, could not approve of this proposal more. Me and my husband together, concur, this will allow us to not go hungry, but also fulfill our wish to have another baby. We've always wanted more kids, but we only desire a baby. We don't want them after they have grown older. We already have an older son. Now, with this proposal, we won't go hungry and we can stay full for months on end and all I must do is push out a baby. No big deal.

Nothing in life comes without motivation, hard-work and belief in oneself. Living in a society where the weak become left behind, we strive everyday for success and prove all the negative voices wrong. While striving for our goal, we push through the limits placed upon us. In a compact college called Roxbury Community College, I had the honor of interviewing a friendly, assertive and hardworking student named Shenitta Niles. Shenitta is a 24-year-old female of Bajan and black descent. Despite her mother being originally from Chicago and her father from Barbados, she was born and raised in Boston. She is the middle child of 3 brothers and 4 sisters. Shenitta currently lives in Roxbury with her two-year old daughter.

The standard way of thinking about motivation has it that the only way to get people to be driven is to reward them extrinsically. In other words, the way we generally try to motivate people is by dangling a carrot in front of their face, or pushing them with a poke to the ribs with stick. Many people assume that if you want someone to do something, you incentivize them with external compensation. For example, if you want a student to work harder in class, offer them extra credits. If you want your basketball team to be better, make them run more suicides as punishment. However, in this book, Drive: ’’The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us’’ by Daniel Pink challenges this conventional, preconceived notion of motivation of carrot and stick mentality. Pink divided motivation into three categories that evolved over time: motivation 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0.

In the video, researcher Dan Pink stated that challenge mastery and making contribution is what generally motivated people. People want to have a more transcendent purpose

Motivation can be found when believing James Cash Penney’s wise words of “growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together” (Penney). I have been taught that putting in work during school activities and classes determines whether or not you would be well situated for college. There were times where I procrastinated in much of my work, but I still thought about my priorities and what was necessary to graduate. Throughout my junior year, I began to realize that nothing is truly handed to you, and you must work hard in order to achieve what it is that you want to succeed. Within my junior, I lost motivation in schoolwork to later gain it back, my social environment was changing, and I began to broaden my comfort zone.

Motivational programs provided to employees can prove to be very useful tools to increase motivation from the employees, reduce employee turnover and help to maintain skilled and talented personnel.

Motivation is very important part of a person’s development. For me motivation was a person who played cricket with me. He was my friend subordinate and my guide. He was elder to me so I was like a younger brother for him. I had plenty of ups and downs in my cricket career but he always stood besides me. He used to share everything with him. He never let me quit the game because he knew what the game meant to me, my father and my grandfather. I almost quit the game 5 times in my career for not performing well, but he always said it was just a bad day, bad time and always motivated for good times and by making me remember my good times my good innings. He said bad time will go away and good time will come and

According to Schermerhorn, Osborne, Uhl-Bien, and Hunt (2012), the research of Motivational Theories is divided into two types of theories, content and process theories. Content theories focus on physiological and psychological deficiencies while process theories of motivation to focus on how cognitive processes as thoughts and decisions with the minds of people influence their behavior. In this case study we will focus on the process theories (p. 102). We begin with a woman named Mary Jones, while she was in the last year of college, she was interviewing for jobs. Mary graduated in the upper part of her class and she was highly respected by her instructors. Being in the top one percent of her class she was offered positions in every corporation she had an interview with.
