Motivation

Our actions are usually motivated by something. A mental force or anything else. It's simply divided into two types - intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation simply being stemming from the inside whilst the latter meant coming from the outside. Honestly, I feel like fear as a motivation might work well - but the long term effects of conditioning fear with the successful action is not beneficial at all. I am a critic of the ways this school motivates its kids. I'm actually quite terrified of what might happen to me if I do not fulfill the demands requested by certain individuals - but it does leave me with a drive to continue forward; regardless of whether or not it's sourcing from fear. I wish as though this undying and relentless machine that pumps out children as obedient slaves was less effective so it leaves me with more points to criticize it with... but I'm afraid not.
