There are many things people do every day. For example, adults must go to work. Children must go to school and do homework. There are times when we do not want to do these things. So, it is important to understand what motivates (激发) us.
Some people think money motivates people. Others think rewards (报酬) are good. After all, people like money and rewards. However, these do not last. When the money or rewards go away, the motivation is gone, too.
What is a good way to motivate people? Giving people a purpose (目的) works well. A purpose is one’s reason for doing things. An adult’s purpose for working could be because he or she believes the job is important. In the same way, a student might study hard at school because he or she wants to have a bright future. A person who cannot find a purpose for what they do will not want to do it.
Second, people are motivated by feelings because feelings can be strong. For example, love can motivate parents to do things for their children. Being afraid of not getting a good grade may motivate a student to study. Happiness can motivate people to continue doing things that make them happy. If a person is satisfied with a job, he or she will be motivated to do that job. A student who likes to learn or enjoys a certain subject will be motivated to do well.
As students, if we can motivate ourselves through purposes and feelings, then our schoolwork will be more fun and interesting.
Both adults and children need motivation to do things. One way to motivate people is by using As students, we can try to motivate ourselves through purposes and feelings so we can enjoy our schoolwork more. |
