Success Motivation

What is motivation success?

I am being serious, as I'm not sure what type of information is being looked for with those two words, whichever order they appear.

So I've decided to include two articles below, once called 'Motivation And Success' by Dale Odeyemi and the other called 'Define Motivation' by Richard Romando. I hope those articles tell you what you want to know. If they don't - you know what to do!

Success motivation - what I say...

As I said above, I really am not sure what this 'success motivation' thingy is. I could waffle on about what I think it might be but - this time - I shall resist such a temptation. Instead, please tell me what you were looking for when you came across this success motivation page - thank you.

Motivation and Success

Success motivation - what Dale Odeyemi says...

How many things do we need to be successful at? How many ways can we motivate ourselves to accomplish this success? Every day we push ourselves. Looking for motivation and success?

We connect with our family and friends; connect with our colleagues. There are only so many ways to stretch ourselves. Every time there is a dip in the proverbial cup the need to fill it back up is there.

We think the cup is easier to fill then it was for our ancestors; accomplishing it perhaps less harsh but tedious just the same. There is a history of leaders using motivation to build successful societies. Gathering food to stay alive or clothing their families for warmth. We are as driven as our ancestors.

Our motivation for success is instinctual. Even at the earliest stage of life; infants driven by it to crawl; toddlers driven by it to walk. In the teen years we're driven by motivation to become successful academically; well, somewhere after the pursuit of finding something on four wheels to leave the nest. As high school and college graduates, the drive cumulates to the ultimate motivation; success through our work.

The road we find ourselves on however is not a straight path in any one direction. Women and men jaunt off in all directions. Responsibilities coupled with the desire to be successful in all we do. Are we successful husbands, wives, parents, co-workers, and friends? Are we motivated enough to continue this success? To get there is the paradox of having and obtaining more motivation, to in the end be more successful.

This instinct drives men and women the same. Not in competition; motivation is about something more in the context of survival, or living if you will. Individuals with motivation may be misunderstood. Levels of motivation may differ between two people. Perhaps, as instinct would have it, one individual knows his needs to feed himself alone while another is aware of his needs to feed a family.

It may not be uncommon for individuals to feel in competition. Perhaps it is more that we reevaluate our needs through the observation of others. A personal wakeup call so to speak.

To find what we are looking for, we can either motivate ourselves for personal success; or as our ancestors did in building societies, we can motivate for the success of all. Motivation and success go hand in hand; personally and in a community.

Neither is unique to any one individual, sex, age or culture. It is instinctual; and in the instances where we may forget to use our motivation; success is not lost. Though we can apply our hearts and minds to find our silenced sense of motivation and our success will follow.

Define Motivation

Success motivation - what Richard Romando says...

Motivation can be defined in a number of ways. Generally, it is defined as a driving force that initiates and directs behavior. In other words, motivation is a kind of internal energy which drives a person to do something in order to achieve something. It is a temporal or dynamic state within a person which is not concerned with his/her personality. There are different types of motivation such as achievement motivation, affiliation motivation, competence motivation, power motivation, and attitude motivation.

Motivation is based on three specific aspects such as the arousal of behavior, the direction of behavior, and persistence of behavior. Arousal of behavior involves what activates human behavior and direction of behavior is concerned with what directs behavior towards a specific goal. Persistence of behavior is concerned with how the behavior is sustained.

Various studies have been conducted to understand the different motives that drive a person to success. Motives are categorized into three: homeostatic motives, nonhomeostatic motives, and learned or social motives. Almost all the motives belong to one or more of these three groups.

Motives such as thirst, hunger, respiration, and excretion are included in homeostatic motives. Nonhomeostatic motives include required activities such as seeking shelter and curiosity about the environment. Curiosity, a desire for novelty, power, achievement, social affiliation, and approval are considered as learned motives or social motives.

Motivation is essential to be successful in any endeavor you undertake. It can be positive or negative, subtle or obvious, tangible or intangible. It is very important in workplaces as it plays a key role in the effective performance of employees. In industry, managers play a significant role in employee motivation. They use different motivation techniques to improve productivity, thereby promoting cooperation between employees and employers.

Learning is somewhat interrelated to motivation. In education, instructors also use motivation techniques in order to motivate the students to learn. It is essential to increase student motivation as it can make a student more competent. Also, motivation encourages self confidence and problem-solving skills.
