I have not received my book yet from Amazon so my post will
be about the lectures so far. In the first part of the lectures I definitely
agree with the push and pull motives. I liked the example that you are pulled
to get a college degree in order to gain pride in graduating and get a good
job. The idea of the end results pull you and motivates you to start the
journey of going to college.
Locke’s
theory about how if your goal is closer, you gain an increased desire for it.
Such as if you are training for a competition the beginning of your training
will be tough and tedious. Become almost like a pain. When your competition
becomes near, you train even harder to make sure you are prepared for the competition,
and reach your ultimate goal. The pressure of the competition upon you helps motivate
you for that last push of training.
