Motivation…
In the first class of MMELS, we learnt much about motivation. We learnt about what is motivation, how is motivation, when does motivation come, where can we get motivation, who can give motivation, and so on.
Here, I wouldn’t explain all of them one by one because maybe all of my friends already completed it in their reflections.
Actually, until this morning, I did not have any topic yet for my first reflection. After I through this day, I have many things to share but I realize that the time is not enough to tell all the stories that I got today.
I am gonna tell a little story about how can motivation increase my self-esteem.
Today, I had my first experience as a SPG (you know it well, right?), SPG of a milk production.
In the beginning, at about 10.30 am, I and my friend, Melly, started my job with offering brochures to anyone who walked in front of the milks’ counter. I felt full of spirit with smile in my face while I said “susu sapi murni, boleh dicoba dulu”.
An hour has passed… still there was no one who came to buy the milk. Actually, I felt like almost giving up. My spirit seemed to disappear along the passage of people in front of the counter. Β But then I tried to bring up my spirit again. I said to myself, “Come on Ester, you can do it! You are great in persuading people. Come on.. Come on.. You can do it.. You can do it!!!”. I repeated that sentences again and again when I almost gave up. Suddenly, the spirit came again.
I think, that is one of real examples that I can give for “intrinsic motivation“. Motivation that appear from yourself, your heart…
After two hours I and Melly offering the milks and yogurts, there was a customer who came. She bought a cup of milk from us. After I got the money, although just 3500 rupiahs, I felt very happy and satisfied because we managed to get someone to come and buy the milk which I and Melly sell. My spirit increased suddenly. Shortly afterwards, another customer came and bought three cups of milk. We got money again, a ten-thousand rupiahs.
It made me like get a big boost to do more and more. My spirit also continues to increase, until finally we could sell 22 cups of milk and yoghurt.Β That is an example of “extrinsic motivation“, when you get motivation from outside yourself π
I remember when I was a child, especially when I was in Elementary School. I tried to always be the best in my class so that I could make my mother proud of me and then I could get a gift. It is also an example of extrinsic motivation. Besides, I always feel satisfied when I got the first rank and it made me do the same thing every semester, to always get the best. The satisfied feeling which came from my heart that can burn my spirit is another example of intrinsic motivation.
From that story, now I become more trusting myself. I know what I want to do, and I know that I can do anything if I really want. I also realize that everything can be happened just if you trust in yourself, do your best and in the end, God will give the result that appropriate with your effort.
Remember, if you donβt trust yourself, then how can people trust in you?

give me your motivation…
Great stories eten, your stories inspired me and motivate me to be more confidence. If I have a case, you work together with your partner, in this case, you can manage your emotional by using your intrinsic motivation, then you have energy to continue your job. How about yourself if she does not use intrinsic motivation, what should you do to help her? Your friend is your partner.
Sorry, I mean, “How about your partner if she does not use intrinsic motivation, what should you do to help her? Your friend is your partner. So you have to work together aand help each other”
matica. haha π come here and i’ll give you a bunch of spirit π

mudah di mengetri menjelaskan motivasi dengan contoh seperti itu,
semudah itukah mendapatkan -internal motivatioan- hanya dengan menyemangati diri sendiri tanpa ada faktor lain?
lebih sering menulisnya yaa…..
hmm,, sepertinya pada saat itu sih tak semudah yg tertulis.. butuh effort yg cukup besar untuk mempercayai kata2 diri sendiri, el π
but so far, it’s happen, right π
walaupun tak mudah, tak ada salahnya di coba kan β€
nice quote Ester
thank you my beautiful lecturer π #ketauan.banget.ngerayunya π haha#
