Motivation: "A Freaky Science"

Motivation is an important thing once you get to college and Dr. Bob has stressed its importance by showing the following video for the third year in a row. Despite how repetitive that sounds, I can reassure you that I feel better informed and motivated each time I watch the video. Here are some ideas to throw at you that you may not believe until you watch for yourself the reasoning behind motivation: it may not be what you think...

  • Is it possible for a reward to lead to worse performance?
  • Would having a large enough salary make you less motivated by money?
  • What if your boss told you, "You probably want to do something interesting. Let me get out of the way?"
  • What if people just did stuff for....free!

Do you know how you are motivated? You might be surprised with what might motivate you. You should check out this video...we all have!
