Motivational Principles
To understand and apply motivational principles related to extrinsic and intrinsic styles, I will be creating a hypothetical situation involving myself as the leader of a local volunteer group, and two possible volunteers. The first volunteer “Sarah”, is a third year art student whose goal is to teach art to children. She expressed her excitement in wanting to bring more creativity, playfulness and joy into her students’ lives. She has some time off and is considering how to get work experience in her field but doesn’t know where to start. From this information, one can determine that Sarah values art in the development of human lives. In this way, she would be intrinsically motivated to do participate in an activity promoting these interests and values. The second volunteer “Adam”, has recently decided to take a year off from college in order to find out what he wants to do. He is living at home so he wants to spend his extra time exploring different avenues of interest as well as avoid feeling that he’s wasting time. He expressed interest in medical professions as well as holds a high moral value in those who help people in need. Adam has somewhat external motivations and a somewhat introjected regulatory level in reference to volunteering.

Interacting environmentally
Interacting with the environment has been difficult for people like me and thinking back in a natural sense, humans do feel pressure in social situations. Looking big and strong does come with a certain amount of humiliation with rejection. First it sets a target to reach, but how the individual reacts within the environment once achieved the higher status displays a safe higher chance of survival rate. Governments do their best to balance inequalities but like all of us sometimes face challenges.

Motivational Ideas (Part 2)
1. To achieve the best results, we should do things little at a time, constantly, and without any haste. This strategy has many benefits. When we work by tackling things little at a time, we get to assess the situation more calmly and get time to make any corrections in our strategy. We also get time to re-think our strategy and thus are more likely to make changes from time to time. Working steadily also allows us time to think about the consequences of our actions. It also provides us time to consult others. When we are learning something, steady and constant work allows us to absorb knowledge more easily and it allows us to perfect a single topic completely before moving ahead. Steady work also allows us the time to think deeply and reflect.

There's a Difference Between Being a Writer and Being an Artist
I’ve written all my life. I guess everybody has. You learn to write in school and then you don’t really stop; filling out forms, taking notes, scribbling down phone numbers on the back of envelopes and writing shopping lists in dog-eared notepads.
