2.7 SELF-MOTIVATION

              Have you heard the story of the hare and the tortoise? The tortoise won this race even though it was slow. This is
              because it remained motivated even when it was quite slow and very much behind the hare. Self-motivation is simply
              the motivation within you that drives you to do things. Self-motivation is what drives us to achieve our goals, makes
              us feel happy and improve the quality of our lives. In other words, it's our ability to do what needs to be done without
              someone or something influencing us.

              Types of Motivation

              There are mainly two types of Intrinsic/Internal and Extrinsic/External motivation. Let us learn about them in detail.
              Intrinsic/Internal Motivation
              We do things that interest us and give us enjoyment, e.g. Joyita loves to read novels. Inspite of her busy schedule, she
              takes out 30 mins every day to read a book.
              Extrinsic/External Motivation

              We do things because it gives us a reward like money, fame, etc. For example, Rohan practices playing chess every day
              because he wants to win the year-end chess championship.


                                  For the interest and                                For the outcome
                                  enjoyment in doing the                              that will result by
                                  task itself                                         achieving the task
