What is motivation?
It is a psychological component that guides, orients and determines the behavior of a person. This word comes from the Latin (motivus), motivation can be intrinsic or extrinsic. It is intrinsic when the person does an activity for their own incentives, that is, for their own pleasure in doing it.
