[KINDS OF MOTIVATION & IMPORTANCE]
Definitions of MOTIVATION
“Motivation is the act or process of
providing with something (as a need or desire) that causes a person to act.”
“Motivation is a fire from within. If someone
else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very
briefly.”
~ Stephen
R. Covey
