    SYNAPSE STRENGTHENERS

    1. According to psychologist Carol Dweck “Motivation is often more important


    than initial ability in determining our success.” Do you agree? Why?
    ANSWER: Yes, I am agree. Because for me motivation is a great force that will drives
    anyone to do and accomplish any task and initial skill will be a plus. It is the one who
    will enable us to succeed in the long run. Moreover, I also believe that the ability to
    face and surpass any challenge will depend on one’s mindset and courage. It is our
    control from within that will foster success.

    2.To what do you compare motivation to make its facilitating function in learning
    concrete? Come up with metaphors. (An example of a metaphor is “Teaching is lighting a
    torch…) Show this by completing this: Motivation is…… -

    ANSWER: Motivation is anyone fuel to do something successfully

    3.Surf the internet on telic and paratelic modes of Michael Apter. How
    do these relate to extrinsic and intrinsic motivation?
    ANSWER: Paratelic and Telic motivational modes of Michael Apter is somehow
    similar to extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. When we say telic, it means the goal
    wherein any person is motivated because s/he has a goal to achieve which is
    congruent to extrinsic motivation wherein it has an external force. While paratelic
    mode, a person is motivated by the activity itself which is like an intrinsic motivation
    where there is no external incentive present.

    4.Read on biographies of great men and women. Find out how they became great.
    Report on one biography in class. Narrate that part of the biography that you like
    the most.

    Answer: Mother Teresa was a Roman Catholic nun and missionary who devoted her
    life to serving the poor and destitute around the world. She spent many years in
    Calcutta, India where she founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious
    congregation devoted to helping those in great need. In 1979, Mother Teresa was
    awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and became a symbol of charitable, selfless work. In
    2016, Mother Teresa was canonised by the Roman Catholic Church as Saint Teresa.
    And from the biography that I read about her the part that I like the most is,

    “Mother Teresa never sought to convert those of another faith. Those in her
    hospices were given the religious rites appropriate to their faith. However, she had a
    very firm Catholic faith and took a strict line on abortion, the death penalty and
    divorce – even if her position was unpopular. Her whole life was influenced by her
    faith and religion, even though at times she confessed she didn’t feel the presence of
    God.” and “Over the last two decades of her life, Mother Teresa suffered various
    health problems, but nothing could dissuade her from fulfilling her mission of serving
    the poor and needy. Until her very last illness she was active in travelling around the
    world to the different branches of The Missionaries of Charity.” Because I really find
    it inspirational, because despite of the pain and circumstance she have, she still has
    the courage to go on and help the people around her.

    5.“Potential performance is a product of ability and motivation.” What does this


    mean? Do you agree? Explain your answer.

    ANSWER: Yes, I am agree. Potential performance is both a product of ability and


    motivation. Motivation is our inner drive which causes us to do something and
    persevere at something, it energizes us and give us strength. Our ability refers to
    what we can do and motivation what we will do. Combining these two will drive
    anyone to have a potential performance. When we have ability to do something and
