Is there a bit of motivation for this sale near the shopee?
In 1998, a professor from Columbia University, Claudia M Mueller conducted a study on 2 groups of grade 5 children (children aged 10-11 years) who were asked to solve 3 levels of a puzzle from easy to difficult.
The first group of children were told which group of children were gifted, talented and indeed born smart while the second group of children were told which group of children were smart as a result of their own hard work.
The results of the study found that the second group of children who were told they were good at their own efforts enthusiastically solved all three levels of the puzzle from easy to difficult and they said they had fun and were satisfied when they successfully solved it.
The study was conducted based on the concept of locus of control or locus control. Basically, locus control is divided into 2, namely:
external locus control - things beyond your control to do something
internal locus control - things in your control to do something
Generally, internal locus control is core to staying motivated. When a person believes that his life is in self -control and only himself is responsible in doing something, then, he will instill motivation in himself to ensure the best outcome.
An example of illustrating internal locus control is when a person with back pain has found a way to relieve his or her back pain. Once he has found a way to get rid of his back pain through exercise then he will continue to be motivated to exercise every day to get rid of it.
As a result, to stay motivated one must take control of one's own life and always think can and continue to do so.
