What is the definition of motivation?
Motivation is whatever drives you to do something. With a job, your paycheck is your main motivation, although you usually also have motivation to do a good job and to help your company succeed. With school, grades are a good motivation. You can also motivate yourself by setting goals and rewarding yourself when you meet them, without having any outside motivation. Many people motivate themselves to stop smoking or drinking, to lose weight, or to exercise more.
