Summary
According to Bolton, “Motivation can be defined as a concept used to describe the factors within an individual which arouse, maintain and channel behavior towards a goal”(n.d., para 2). Motivation is an important trait for a person to have a more fulfilling life are because 2 reasons. The first One is it might help a student to achieve his/her goals. For a student self motivation is what he/she needs most of the time during his/her university studies. Pittman saw that “young people as recipients and as active agents in their own development and that of their communities and society” (1999, para 1). With motivation, a student will tell himself/herself to study hard, to plan his/her study systematically and to learn knowledge more eagerly. The other one is it might help a person in his/her career. Let us see an example, Tyra Banks, who is one of the most famous supermodels in the world. She is also a successful business woman, and the host of reality shows "America's Next Top Model" and talk show "The Tyra Banks Show". She said “I have so many goals. I wanted to be more of a business woman. I wanted to take this name I had made for myself and take to the next level” (Famous Tyra Banks Quotes. n.d.). To be a successful business woman is the motivation that drives Tyra Banks to succeed both in the model industry and in her business after many years hard working.
Motivation can be the reason behind a person’s actions which causes him/her to react or act in the way he/she does. In conclusion, motivation does play an important role in a person’s life.
