2.1 MOTIVATION AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Motivation and positive thinking can assist us in overcoming our challenges and taking on new objectives. Similarly,
optimism, which is a mental attitude that expresses a belief or hope, can result in positive and desired consequences.
It enables us to realise our ambitions, persevere in our pursuit of success, and live a happy life with a positive attitude.
Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress.
—Nicholas M. Butler
2.1.1 Motivation

The term "motivation" is derived from the word "motive." Thus, the essence of motivation is guiding behaviour toward
a specific objective or goal. An individual's motivation might arise from within (intrinsic motivation) or be motivated by
people or events outside of themselves (extrinsic motivation).
