Motivation



Motivation is a Mindset
"The mind is master of the man, and so, "They can who think they can!"
~Nelson Waterman~

Motivation is Influenced Through Observation
No printed word
nor spoken plea
Can teach young minds
What they should be
Not all the books
On all the shelves
But what the teachers are themselves
~Anonymous~

Motivation Persist in the Face of Failure
~Focus on the goal, not the struggle~

Motivation is Rooted in Ownership
 If students are involved, they will feel some ownership.
When students have ownership, they will accept responsibility.
If students accepts responsibility, they will be motivated!
~Margaret A. Theobald~

"The race is not given to the swift or the battle to the strong, but to the one who endures to the end!"
