I am writing this blog about motivation because that is what my group discussed in the final presentation this semester. In today's society intrinsically motivated people are very rare to come across; at least those who are primarily motivated intrinsically. Today's society is very driven by money as the primary motivator. Money is needed for everything, and money is needed to do anything. It is difficult to make a living without money and so the core of everyone's motivation is money. It is possible to enjoy your job and still be intrinsically motivated, but the core motivator is money.
I wish to learn to be more intrinsically motivated. It is the ideal form of motivation, because it allows to motivated person to enjoy their work and they work harder because they enjoy it or wish for the feeling that they did a good job. Sometimes i have been intrinsically motivated enough, or lacked that intrinsic motivation enough that i quit a job because it is not worth the money with the amount of annoyance I receive from working the job. There for my intrinsic motivation to want to enjoy the job over powers the extrinsic rewards i ma receive from the position.
