Motivation DNA

Motivation is one of the greatest keys to success in every area of our lives. It is the power that creates action, it is a state of mind, an attitude, a way of thinking, being and doing that can reap rewards beyond your wildest dreams, one has got to learn how to activate and sustain motivation inorder to fulfill commitment that comes with effort.

In order to effectively motivate yourself and others, you must first understand the 4 laws of Motivation:-

Law #1: Everyone is motivated differently
Law #2: Each Individual has a unique and distict motivational type
Law #3: What motivates one person can de-motivate another
Law #4: No one motivational type is "better" than any other


Although everyone is motivated, we are motivated differently separated by each own's Drives, Need & Awards(what we call Motivational DNA).


Drives are the internal forces that mobilize a person to act, it depend on whether one is competitive(Production Driven) or cooperative(Connection Driven)


Needs are core requirements that a person must have in order to feel fulfilled, it depends on whether one who prefer consistency, order & routine(Stability Need) or one who stimulated by new experiences and energized by change(Variety Need)


Awards are types of compensation or remuneration a person desires to reward achievement and encourage performance, it depends on what would make one feel more valued at work. If one rather have sincere appreciation without any financial bonus, you have what we call an Internal Award system. If one rather have the monetary bonus without appreciation, it will be call an External Award system


I sincerely believe & hope that my sharing will be timely as both tr & parents come to meet up for the IEP Progress late May. I always recognize and acknowledge that being a teacher for the children with special needs is not an easy job and it is important that each tr are motivated to give their best effort for a postive out come to the child under their intervention and what even important is to sustain that energy level without getting tire irregardless of what the out come it may be.


I still hope that I can learn more from teacher's sharing promptly so that miss opportunities are reduced to elevate Fabian's learning & growth.


Nevertheless, I will continue to show my sincere appreciation with gratitude to the teachers to cheer each others on and to maintain our mutual trust & understanding as we journey on.
