Why do you pull yourself out of bed every morning to go to work or school?What does it take to make you feel like your contribution in those places is truly worthwhile?Knowing what motivates you can help you find meaning in your work and make efforts to reach your goals.
Psychologists have a wide variety of ways of describing and differentiating motivations because people care about so many different things.Psychologist David McClelland identified three main motivations for people:achievement (the feeling of success),affiliation (close relationships) and power (the ability to influence the world).Authors Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton identified 23 motivations,including creativity,challenge and learning.
Some motivations,such as money,social position and praise,are external;these are the tools bosses typically use to encourage their employees to do better.Other motivations,including fun,personal growth and feeling like one's work is significant,come from within the person doing the action.These ideals,called internal motivations,tend to be more reliable than external ones because they represent things that can never be taken away.
Since a wide variety of motivations exist,it's important to understand which ones are persuasive to you.Trying to motivate yourself in a way that doesn't appeal to you will make it difficult to convince yourself to work.When choosing a career,think about what motivates you and make decisions accordingly.If you are motivated by overcoming challenges,look for a career where you can continually try hard to reach a higher level.
People motivated by external rewards sometimes struggle to meet goals they set for themselves that no one else knows about.They can solve this problem by creating external rewards for their personal goals such as finding a friend to hold them accountable.
When you know what motivates you,you will be able to motivate yourself to do the things necessary to succeed.And if you are a leader,knowing what motivates your team will enable you to help them do the same.

3.Dear Laura,
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
Yours,
