I'd rather have intrinsic motivation any day of the week, both as a parent and as a teacher. :-)CrunchyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434606158400653601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-64905132051309786182015-06-05T18:07:40.677-04:002015-06-05T18:07:40.677-04:00That's what I think.

And even then that's usually not their main motivation; they're often trying to compete against themselves, as it were, and take themselves out of their comfort zones. <br /><br />But not everybody is comfortable doing that, and as you say, for others it can be very negative. Intrinsic motivation is always better than extrinsic. And for many collaboration is a strong motivating force.

It's not often that I run into someone as into the etymology and semantics of words as I am. <br /><br />And you're a really good artist! I especially like the portraits because I always think they're the hardest thing to paint, and you really seem to capture the essence of the person. You have such varied interests and talents!Rebecca deCocahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13168718846105012814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-33243403680003480402015-06-05T14:32:43.819-04:002015-06-05T14:32:43.819-04:00Funny, I just wrote a post about this. http://megh...Funny, I just wrote a post about this. http://meghanvaziri.blogspot.com/2015/06/driven.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15712186284543293308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-11146158770293141632015-06-05T14:02:51.956-04:002015-06-05T14:02:51.956-04:00Competition undermines collaboration because other...Competition undermines collaboration because other people become obstacles to our own success. And competition may "motivate" the top few people who have a chance of "winning", but it can destroy motivation for those who know they don't stand a chance.Diennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570040547158789834noreply@blogger.com
