motivation

...is it a learned behaviour,or a natural instinct?do we all possess the same capacity in untapped form,or are some of us born to just accept things as they happen?

I can motivate myself easily! If I am determine to do something, it'll be done fast and the best way it can be!

I always tell other students they should do there work before the deadline because they get bad grades on it! They say I wait, but I reply with" Yeah, but I know how to do it right!"

Do you have motivational problems Mr. T? You seem to motivate yourself enough to post!

Taz- :hehehe:

Motivation is just a rationalization concept. There is no true motivation, sentient beings always do what they want to do.

yep yep. If you know you could do something, you can do it. Simple as that

Very provocative, Mr. T. I am going to go with motivation being a learned behavior as my theory. It may be influenced genetically, but I think it mostly ties into your surroundings, the example set forth by your parents, etc.
