Three Elements of Motivation

Bill Gates: What they don't teach you in school

• Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it! • Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is

tough, wait till you get a boss. • Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your

parents' fault , so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

rewards as younger children. The best motivation comes

• It is much more likely that our teenage students will be extrinsically motivated, meaning that their motivation comes from external sources such as wanting to pass an exam or please their parents. The good news for teachers of teenagers is that there are many things we can do in the classroom to increase the levels of extrinsic motivation.
