Drive By Daniel Pink Analysis

What motivates you, the feeling of self-satisfaction, knowing you did something you enjoy doing or being rewarded for doing something you hate? What is the difference between Motivation 2.0 to Motivation 3.0, according to Daniel H. Pink, motivation 2.0 doesn't work in the 21st century whether it is in the workforce or as a student. He explains motivation 2.0 as extrinsic or reward/punishment and motivation 3.0 as intrinsic or self-satisfaction. For my career, I believe that I depend and use motivation 3.0, since I love the feeling of self-satisfaction.

In the book “Drive” by Daniel H. Pink, he supports that intrinsic motivation is what is going to help a person achieve in school or in the work field. He states that extrinsic motivation, the reward/punishment doesn't acquire anyone far and doesn't accomplish the job since the student or employee are just waiting to receive a reward for doing things and once rewarded the responsibility of doing the job is done, they just simply wait for the reward, but in the end there is always consequences, and with intrinsic motivation the student or employee

will accomplish the job done for the reason they enjoy it and want to feel better for what they have done. Pink argues that when a person has the motivation of extrinsic and is always being rewarded, they do the job at a rapid pace, but don't complete the job done right, and a person with intrinsic motivation the job accomplishes much more but at a much slower rate. Pink supports that motivation 2.0 isn't working and that in the 21st century motivation 3.0 is what should be used to thrive in any task a person is doing. I have control of my motivation 3.0 by liking what I enjoy. I agree that if someone doesn't like doing something they are doing, they will only do it for reward and my belief as well as Pink’s is that something has to be done for self-satisfaction and not just reward.
I believe that my motivation is motivation 3.0 or intrinsic motivation; I enjoy the feeling of self-satisfaction when I do my job for the reason that I enjoy doing a task whether it is at my job or at school. I enjoy doing my job as a medical assistant, as I find it in myself to help people out that are sick. I love the feeling that I get after I help a patient feel better with the help of a provider or a doctor. The feeling of self reward and seeing a patient smile when they know they are in great hands is so much better than a paycheck. I understand that in this world you need money but that doesn't mean that I should just to do a job just for the paycheck. I have learned with my experience in the medical field you need to have that self-satisfaction feeling to be able to provide the best quality service to a patient because these patients are counting on you with their health.
I can't agree or disagree with only have motivation 3.0 considering that at times my family says it is all about having money and getting a more than average paycheck, motivation 2.0 reward, but they also want us to improve and be someone in life with a better paycheck.

For those reasons I pushed myself to find a career that I enjoy and love doing. I do believe that at times my motivation does shift to motivation 2.0, or extrinsic motivation because I do want to be rewarded with good grades, but I also know they aren't just handed that you must work extremely hard and have so much dedication to receive good grades, same goes for my job, life revolves around money I need it to survive so working hard and trying to be the best employee I can be, also so I can receive either a raise or a bonus at the end of the year is just the cherry on top to what I already enjoy

doing.
I do believe that everyone should be motivated by motivation 3.0, self-satisfaction and not just motivation 2.0 or reward and punishment. I understand that I can't change another person’s mentality, but I do believe if they do find a career that they enjoy doing for the self-satisfaction their job will be much more enjoyable and not just for the paycheck. I believe that everyone should be blessed and not just content with the job they do every day of their lives. If it was in my hands to foster motivation 3.0 then I would explain how liberating it is to love your job, to look forward to going every day, to have a purpose to do your job, not just for a paycheck but for the feeling that you are doing it in the interest of you enjoy it whether it is helping someone with their health, to fix someone's home or car. So in my believe motivation 3.0 needs to be everyone's motivation for having the perfect career and a positive attitude during work, but also it’s not horrible to have a little motivation 2.0 to add to something that you already enjoy doing.
In the end, I know I have the intrinsic motivation in me due to I enjoy doing what I do in my job and also at school. My motivation can shift to extrinsic but that is only because I need the grades to reach my goal in school and also to be the best employee since I would also like that extra bonus at the end of the year considering everything in life does have a price tag. As Pinks states Motivation 3.0 or intrinsic motivation will be the new motivation that will work for the 21st century, but I also believe that Motivation 2.0 will also be a major part of everyone who enjoys being rewarded even if it's a little for what they do and how much they are achieving. So in my believe both motivations are accurate to believe in because one can help you be blissful and feel good about the work that you have done, but also motivation 2.0 can give you the little reward that everyone wants and looks forward to for doing such a good job.
