Intrinsic or Extrinsic? Which category you're belong?



Somehow, i have learned this 2 words from someone that i never wish to meet. But now, i have met her.

Actually, No matter who you are, motivation is something that everyone will need in their life from time to time. However, because of the fact that every individual is different it takes different factors to motivate people.

Extrinsic motivation is something that a lot of people are motivated by. It can be defined as motivation that comes from outside of a person. Your motivation comes from outside from rewards such as MONEY or good grades.

Intrinsic motivation is defined as a state in which an individual is motivated by internal factors, as opposed to external agents. In simple words, you just feel very strongly on the inside about doing something! Have you ever taken an action because you thought it was the right or ethical thing to do? Have you ever taken up a cause you know will benefit others or just done something for the sheer joy of it?
