Extrinsic motivation comes from
outside yourself and is not as effective as intrinsic motivation.
It includes the goals, values, and interests of others as they affect you.
You learn in order to avoid punishment, or to get a reward, or to please
someone. Examples:
I learn dates to pass a history test.
I learn this computer program as a job requirement.
I learn how to kick to please my coach.
Extrinsic motivation is not bad, it just isn't as effective
as intrinsic motivation.
Keep intrinsic reasons first whenever possible.
