I have always believed in the power of motivation as getting your student-trainees motivated can make learning fun, and inspire them to reach their full potential.

I was quite impressed with Radha's dedication and
her zeal to make a difference in her overall personality.

I vividly remember when Radha attended her first Training & Development session, she came across a bit under-confident. In due course of time, she not only became super-confident, but also started participating with more and more enthusiasm. 

I was quite impressed with her dedication and her zeal to make a difference in her overall personality. From time to time, I kept receiving her success-stories; and her accomplishments always made me proud as her mentor.

In a book titled '𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥', Todd Braver implies that motivation affects how an individual pays attention to specific information and attempts to understand it, in place of doing rote learning. 

Students are 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 motivated if they love or enjoy what they are doing even if there is no reward or incentive for it. While students are 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 motivated if they do not enjoy what they do, they will still do so to obtain the rewards or tokens. 

Motivation uplifts student’s enthusiasm about the activities presented to them. Once they get motivated to achieve something by doing the tasks, they will eventually exert their full 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭, 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲.
