Why does motivation help one try harder? When one is competing against another, rewarded, and monitoring their progress, they tend to push harder. Well, why is that so?
First of all in a competition, I tend to want to win, so I tell myself to try as hard as possible do so. I do this because I like being the best, and it gives me a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction of myself. Even when I lose, I will want to try harder next time, so I will improve and be better at a skill, talent, or ability. Secondly, being rewarded makes me want to keep on trying my hardest so I can get another reward. Additionally when I am rewarded with a prize, I like it so much that I would want to earn it again. Wanting to earn something really assists me to keep on going and to be more confident. Lastly, being monitored makes me want to improve and be better than before, so I would push harder and try my best to improve.
In conclusion, I think that being motivated can really help one improve and try harder.
