Like most complex subjects, motivation can be reduced to a simple definition. However, if being motivated was that simple, everyone would be motivated all the time. For many of us, it’s a few minutes to define, but a lifetime of practice.
Motivation is a your ability to find the energy to achieve a chosen goal. There are two types of motivation:
Intrinsic - The desire to do something for the sake of doing it. Example: reading a book because you find it interesting.
Extrinsic - Completing a task to receive a reward or avoid punishment. Example: reading a book because you don’t want to fail the exam.
These two types of motivation affect your choices. Are the goals you’re trying to reach based on intrinsic or extrinsic motivation?

什么是动力？

像大多数复杂的话题一样，动力可以理解为一个简单的定义。然而，如果做到有动力是那么简单的话，那么每个人都会一直很有动力了。于我们而言，只需要短短几分钟就可以给它下定义，但却需要我们用一生去实践。
动力是你能找到实现既定目标力量的一种能力。动力有两种类型：
内在动力 －为了完成某些事情而产生的欲望。例子：读这本书是因为你觉得它很有趣。
外在动力 －完成一项任务，获得奖励或免于受罚。例子：读这本书是因为你不想考试不及格。
这两类动力会影响你的选择。你想达到的目标是基于内在动力还是外在动力呢？
