Of course, the income helps motivate me too! I really feel pressure to succeed so I can take good care of my family, so I think that's the extrinsic motivator for me, making sure my family is well taken care of and secure. Otherwise, it's all intrinsic for me, I love the feeling I get when I succeed at something, and it works. it's very satisfying and it makes me feel in control and in charge of my own life and destiny. ME: I think I'm intrinsically motivated, as well. I find I do much better on assignments that interest me, (like this one), than on assignments that I don't feel any connection with. I think that's the same...
Outward motivation, like someone else's approval or input, is much less meaningful to me than my own motivation and interest. I mean, I like approval, most people do, but I don't depend on it. I know inside when I've done a good job, or when I haven't, and that's good enough for me. I'm not sure yet how that's going to fit in my career, or the rest of my life, but I know that if I'm motivated by what's inside me, I'll probably do OK. Maybe I'll own my own business, like you do! That seems pretty good to me, and I think I would be much more motivated to work for my own approval than somebody else's approval.
Interview of Educator I interviewed a fourth grade teacher with five years of experience in education, all at the same school. This teacher has been evaluated formally on three separate occasions. On all occasions, the monitor was in the classroom. When asked about her feelings toward evaluation and the evaluation process used in her district, she responded positively. She said that she was happy that the district put effort into teacher
Question 6: How long do you see yourself participating in... As long as I can -- until I get injured, I guess -- hopefully my knees will hold out! I'm pretty fit and always have been athletic. I try to train and eat right. My obsession with racing may lessen when I have a husband and children, I guess, but you never know. Question 7: Do you foresee any barriers or challenges
Artist Interview with Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin To Vincent van Gogh: Why did you cut off your ear; what was going through your head? Do you blame the absinthe? Vincent van Gogh: As some of my biographers have indicated, I had emotional and psychological problems since I was a child. I was, for example, "highly emotional and lacked self-confidence," ("Vincent van Gogh: Biography"). Therefore, it should really come as no surprise
interview I conducted with my grandfather. My Grandfather The person I admire the most in life has to be my grandfather. He is an extraordinary man, one of those rare breeds that only come along every generation or so. He's an educated man and by that I do not mean he has a string of degrees after his name, but a very well-read person with common sense and a respect for
interview of a woman that is more than 40 years old and belongs to a generation different than mine. It analyzes and provides a reflection of the woman's life experiences and beliefs. The main focus of the interview is to evaluate the impact of belief systems and socio-economic structures in her life as well as any resistance to these factors. The reflection also examines the impact of ideologies, cultural
Ethnographic Interview My name is Alex, I come from Como, Italy. It's right on the border with Switzerland, near Milan. I speak Italian, German, English and some French. I have lived in the U.S. For two years now. My family is still back in Italy. I'm the only one over here. I moved here because this is where my wife lives.
