    All our lives, we try to understand in order to define our mission in this life. We find motivators for our being. Many great people have made the world remember their names by finding and developing their mission. They knew what their goal was, that’s why they succeeded. Knowing the goal, you have your motivation and conversely, having the motivation, you know what your goal is. Your mission is your motivation; it helps you see far beyond your limits. Starting with motivation, I want to define what it is. Motivation is a type of energy that helps you accomplish tasks. This is a difficult phenomenon to control. As Daniel Pink (2009) stated, there are three types of drives that resemble our operating systems: “The first was the biological drive. Humans and other animals ate to satisfy their hunger, drank to quench their thirst, and copulated to satisfy their carnal urges.''(p.3). This first ride is not responsible for tasks like walking someone's dog or conducting an investigation. For these kinds of tasks, people have a second motivation about which Daniel Pink (2009) added that extrinsic motivations drive you to complete tasks: “If you promised to increase our salary, we would work harder. If you had the prospect of getting an A on the test, we would study longer.''(p.3). This type X motivation works when you get rewards after completing your work. But there is still one impulse, the third, which is much more difficult to understand. This is intrinsic motivation. For example, when you read a book not for class, but just for yourself, your motivation to read it is intrinsic, it is the third motivation that pushes you to read it. Because you are not reading it to get a good grade from your teacher, you are reading this because it is interesting to you,...... in the middle of the paper...... things are open for he can continue his studies or he can start working to earn money. Here the first goal of the student is to obtain the undergraduate degree for which he has to work hard, and here the student has intrinsic motivations like the public opinion that has arisen about him, he can get a job after graduation, he can get a master's degree. for better work, and he learns a lot of interesting things about the world, etc. Works CitedCovey, SR (1989).
