Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) was born this month.
The first photograph of the Sun was taken on April 2, 1845. The Hubble Space Telescope was placed in orbit on April 25, 1990. The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory achieved orbit on April 7, 1991.
The Lyrid meteor shower peaks on the morning of April 22. A typical zenithal hourly rate is about 20 meteors per hour but occasional short outbursts have occurred.
The Moon is 20.2 days old and is located in Ophiuchus at 0:00 UT on April 1. It's at its greatest northern declination of +20.2 degrees on April 15 and its greatest southern declination of -20.2 degrees on April 1 and April 28. Latitudinal libration is at a maximum of +6.8 degrees on April 20 and a minimum of -6.8 degrees on April 5. Longitudinal libration is at a maximum of +5.1 degrees on April 8 and a minimum of -6.6 degrees on April 21. The waxing Moon occults Chi Virginis (magnitude 4.7) for most of North America on the night of April 23. A partial lunar eclipse thats visible primarily from the eastern hemisphere begins at 19:54 UT and ends at 20:21 UT on April 25. Visit
for tips on spotting extreme crescent Moons. Times and dates for the lunar light rays predicted to occur this month are available at
The Sun is located in Pisces on April 1.
Brightness, apparent size, illumination, distance from the Earth in astronomical units, and location data for the planets and Pluto on April 1: Mercury (+0.2 magnitude, 7.5", 51% illuminated, 0.89 a.u., Aquarius), Venus (--------------, 100% illuminated, 1.72 a.u., Pisces), Mars (+1.2 magnitude, 3.9", 100% illuminated, 2.41 a.u., Pisces), Jupiter (-2.1 magnitude, 35.8", 99% illuminated, 5.51 a.u., Taurus), Saturn (+0.3 magnitude, 18.6", 100% illuminated, 8.93 a.u., Libra), Uranus (+5.9 magnitude, 3.4", 100% illuminated, 21.01 a.u. on April 16, Pisces), Neptune (+7.9 magnitude, 2.2", 100% illuminated, 30.60 a.u. on April 16, Aquarius), and Pluto (+14.1 magnitude, 0.1", 100% illuminated, 32.15 a.u. on April 16, Sagittarius).
Jupiter is located in the west and Saturn is in the east in the evening. Saturn is in the southeast at midnight. Mercury can be found in the east, Saturn in the southwest, Uranus in the east, and Neptune in the southeast in the morning sky.
At midmonth, Mercury can be seen during morning twilight, Jupiter sets at midnight, and Saturn is visible the entire night for observers at latitude 40 degrees north.
Mercury is farthest from the Sun on April 2. The waning crescent Moon lies seven degrees to the north of Mercury on April 8. Mercury passes two degrees south of Uranus on April 19. Observers in the southern hemisphere will have a better view of the speedy planet.
Venus and Mars are less than one degree apart on April 6 but, being less than three degrees from the Sun, are not visible. Venus may be visible extremely low in the west-northwest shortly after sunset by months end.
Mars is in conjunction with the Sun on April 18.
Jupiters reign is nearing its end. As April ends, the massive gas giant sets by 11:00 p.m. Jupiter moves almost four degrees northeastward from the first-magnitude star Aldebaran, during the course of the month. It forms an equilateral triangle with second-magnitude star Beta Tauri and the third-magnitude star Zeta Tauri towards the end of April. Jupiter lies two degrees north of the waxing crescent Moon on April 14. Two occultations (of Io beginning at 10:40 p.m. EDT and of Ganymede beginning at 12:02 a.m. EDT) and a transit (by Europa starting at 11:04 p.m. EDT) take place on the night of April 2. This means that Callisto will be the only Galilean satellite visible for a good part of the night. Browse
in order to determine transit times of Jupiters central meridian by the Great Red Spot. Data on the Galilean satellites is available at
On the night of April 25, the Full Moon passes four degrees south of the Ringed Planet. Saturns disk subtends 19 arc seconds at its equator and 17 arc seconds from pole to pole when it reaches opposition on April 28. Saturn is 8.82 astronomical units or 73 light-minutes from the Earth at that time and the north side of Saturns ring plane is tilted 18.1 degrees with respect to the Earth. The planet shines at magnitude 0.1 and its rings span 43 by 13 arc seconds at opposition. Titan (magnitude 8.4) lies due north of Saturn on the nights of April 12 and April 28 and due south of the planet on the nights of April 4 and April 20. Saturns unusual moon Iapetus, which varies in brightness from magnitude 10.1 to magnitude 11.9, is located 2.5 arc minutes north of Saturn on the night of April 1. At that time, it shines at eleventh magnitude. Iapetus is at greatest eastern elongation on the night of April 21. For further information on Saturns satellites, browse
Uranus and Neptune may be visible during morning twilight. Southern hemisphere observers will have a more favorable view of the two gas giants.
The dwarf planet Pluto is fairly high in the sky in northwestern Sagittarius during morning twilight.
For more on the planets and how to locate them, browse
Asteroid 4 Vesta shines at eighth magnitude as it heads eastward through Taurus and into Gemini this month. It passed north of M1 (the Crab Nebula) on the night of April 7 and in front of the faint but rich open cluster NGC 2158 for two hours on the evening of April 29. NGC 2158 is located approximately one quarter of a degree southwest of the bright open cluster M35 in Gemini.
During April, the bright comet C/2011 L4 (PanSTARRS) travels northward through the constellations of Andromeda and Cassiopeia. It passes two degrees to the west of the bright spiral galaxy M31 on the nights of April 4 and April 5. Finder charts for the comet can be found at
, and
(up to April 12) and on page 51 of the March issue of Sky & Telescope. Browse

Joel Kotkin, Contributor
I cover demographic, social and economic trends around the world.
Editor's Note: This post is part of a new special section called "Reinventing America." As part of this effort, demographer Joel Kotkin and more than a dozen other Forbes contributors and staff writers will focus attention on the challenges facing towns, cities and traditional industries across the nation–and highlight the growing number of surprising success stories we're seeing, too. Over the coming months we'll have stories, rankings of who's doing it right (and wrong), and, we hope, great conversations with readers, so please join in.
While the economy has been miserable for small business, and many larger ones as well, the ranks of the self-employed have been growing. According to research by Economic Modeling Specialists International, the number of people who primarily work on their own has swelled by 1.3 million since 2001 to 10.6 million, a 14% increase.
This rise is partially reflective of hard times, and many of the self-employed earn only modest livings in fields such as childcare and construction. However the shift to self-employment is likely to accelerate in the future, and into higher-paying professions, for reasons including the ubiquity of the Internet, which makes it easier for some types of business to use independent contractors, as well as the reluctance of large firms to hire full-time employees with benefits.
Urban analyst Bill Fulton, who has looked into this issue, concludes we may be seeing a fundamental change in how the economy operates. "Even though there may not be jobs in the conventional sense, there is still work," Fulton notes. "That's the whole idea of the 1099 economy. It's just a different way of organizing the economy."
If the 1099 economy is the wave of the future, which regions and industries are currently at the forefront? We turned to EMSI for the data. We looked at the change in self-employment numbers for the nation's 30 largest metropolitan statistical areas from 2001 to the present, and also from 2008, when the economy first nosedived and people started to scramble.
The results of EMSI's research are fascinating, and somewhat surprising, perhaps giving us a glimpse of where the future of economic growth may be taking shape. The biggest changes have taken place in four metro areas where the number of self-employed workers expanded over 10% between 2008 and 2012. Two of them, Houston and Seattle, have done very well in our previous rankings of economic performance, and the other two, Phoenix and Riverside- San Bernardino, Calif., suffered grievously from the housing bubble.
In the case of Houston, its 12% rise in the number of self-employed workers reflects not only widening economic opportunity, but also structural changes in the energy industry, the metro area's prime economic driver. Since 2005, self-employment in the energy industry has grown 35% (and a remarkable 75% for support activities for oil and gas operations). At least part of this influx, EMSI suggests, could be attributed to land owners cashing in on royalties after leasing their property for drilling, but also to the demand for the increasingly specialized, and often high-tech, services required by that industry.
The entrepreneurial drive in Houston is clearly not a response to economic disaster – the city has a culture that encourages striking out on your own, and low costs and lighter regulation make it easier. Indeed over the past decade, the Texas powerhouse also led the nation in the growth of its 1099 economy, which expanded by a remarkable 51%.
Like the energy industry, the burgeoning high-tech sector also has become more dependent on the 1099 economy. Encompassing people writing apps, doing technical consulting, and working in the information sector, the numbers have surged over the past five years. This may help explain the double-digit increase in self-employment over the past five years in Seattle (up 10%) and San Jose (up 11%). In some cases this may be young people working on their own; in others it could be older techies who may have lost full-time jobs but are now consulting.
Perhaps the most intriguing shift to the 1099 economy can be found not in hotspots like Silicon Valley, but in areas pummeled in the "housing bust" that are only now showing signs of recovery. This includes two areas, Phoenix and San Bernardino-Riverside, Calif., usually disdained by "creative class" pundits as backwaters, that have seen their number of self-employed grow 12% since 2008.
Also on Forbes: "How To Make Money Without A Job."
well i really want to thank you for this article it has made me feel reassured as to my aspirations for the future in self employment.
The rise of the 1099 economy is bad news for income and FICA tax collections. People who get paid in cash tend not to report a lot of their income. Even professionals who get paid by check tend to run all sorts of questionable expenses through the business.
Good article. I chose to drop off the grid and joint the self employed and it's nice to see I'm not in a minority of crazies. I got frustrated with the C level way of irrational decision making, week long meetings over the structure of a sentence and the reliance on jargon pundits. Came to the eventual realization that if a company considers 1 fatality every six months as acceptable, I'm definitely running in the wrong pack. This the latest was but an extreme example of how very odd we've become. Now I've way more latitude to focus on a work life balance and consider the reduction in "salary" a worthwhile sacrifice. The best part is I get to say what I think is necessary and love it when it's considered but don't really feel a sense of ownership if the client chooses a different approach.

Many years later, I still remember those good memories, I would like my memories share a here, and here gave me a lot of memorygave me a lot of good, I really like here, you share it!
All levels of government will take years, if not decades to figure out how to keep better tabs on the stealthy independent-working (in business for themselves)-types .

See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
Peter Cullen has affected the lives of millions with his voice work for everyone's favorite Prime in the Transformers series, and his performance in Fall of Cybertron is no exception. High Moon has taken a stance in this game to present it more for fans of the original series instead of dabbling into the version created in the movie trilogy. It's hard to say if I would have been interested as a child in Transformer...

Editor's Note: The owners of the Waterfront Restaurant say many news reports have falsely reported that their last day of business will be this Sunday, Dec. 23 - it is in fact this Saturday, Dec. 22.
One of Redwood City's most beloved local restaurants, the Waterfront Restaurant located at Pete's Harbor, will close its doors forever this Saturday, Dec. 22.
As many know, the owner of Pete's Harbor, Paula Uccelli - wife of the late Peter Uccelli, the harbor's namesake and founder - plans to shut down the harbor after the start of the new year, and hopes to sell to Colorado-based developer Pauls Corporation. The company has plans to build a 411-unit luxury waterfront community if the sale is approved by the City.
Due to those plans, all the tenants of Pete's Harbor have received eviction notices, asking them to vacate the harbor by Jan. 15 - all the tenants, including the Waterfront Restaurant.
Husband-and-wife team Jose and Dunia Rodriguez, who have owned the restaurant for nearly 11 years, say they have mixed feelings about being asked to leave.
"We want to stay," Jose told Patch on Tuesday. "But we understand wanting progress, so we understand the owner's position."
"It's not easy for us, but it's okay," Dunia said.
Jose and Dunia say, though they have to close their doors this Saturday, they hope to be opening new doors in early 2013. They have been shopping for a new location in downtown Redwood City, and they think they may have found a winner.
They hope to be able to announce their new address by the end of this week, and Jose said they plan to spend the holidays preparing their new location and starting to move in.
Jose said, much like the residents of Pete's Harbor, they were given an eviction date of Jan. 15, but he said closing before the holidays and starting their move will benefit them more in the long-run.
"We decided to move right away, to hopefully gain more time [and be able to re-open quicker]," Jose said.
The couple say, if all goes according to plan, they could possibly re-open before Valentine's Day early next year.
Jose explained that, once word began to spread that Paula Uccelli was planning to sell the harbor to Pauls Corporation, the restaurant started to lose bookings of banquets and other large events, which he says accounts for the majority of the restaurant's income.
"Without banquets, it's very hard for us to operate," Jose told Patch.
Jose said that, if they do move into a new space downtown, they most likely won't have room for the 200-people banquets the Waterfront Restaurant is known for, but they hope to at least keep some of the business from local service clubs who like to host their meetings at the restaurant.
Jose said the restaurant is only open for lunch this week, their last week in business.
As long-time customers have heard of their impending closure, Jose and Dunia said many have been stopping by to bid them farewell and enjoy one last meal by the water.
"A lot of old-timers and families have been coming by," he said. "There are a lot of generations of families with fond memories."
Dunia said, that is what she and her husband will miss most about the Waterfront - how many families have celebrated major milestones like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations and the like witht them, in their banquet room. In fact, Dunia and Jose themselves celebrated their own 25th wedding anniversary at the restaurant not too long ago.
Dunia especially likes how the Waterfront has been a welcome place for the local Hispanic community, and she is glad so many of them have been stopping by to wish them luck.
Jose says, if they do re-open the restaurant downtown, they will most likely change their name since the restaurant will no longer be on the water, but they will still serve up much the same menu as before.
Patch will update this story with the new location of the restaurant if plans are finalized soon.
PATCH WANTS TO KNOW - Do you have fond memories of spending time at the Waterfront Restaurant? What will you miss about it? Will you visit if they re-open under a new name in 2013? Tell us in the comments below.

I don't know where you were yesterday at 4 p.m. but there was only one place my "Around Town" duties would allow me to be.
The Meeting House.
It started when I first wrote about the new restaurant last July and it has built up to nearly a fevered pitch. No matter where I go — shopping downtown, my childrens' school, Girls Night Out — everyone wants to know about The Meeting House.
So when the doors officially opened for the first time yesterday, I was there.
With all the interest, I wasn't even surprised that I wasn't the first one in the door. A party of four was in front of me, a party of two right behind me and — for a random Tuesday night in December — the stream of new and curious customers was constant.
So how was it?
The first thing I did when I left The Meeting House last night was text a friend.
"I do believe The Meeting House is going to be our new hang out," was my message.
First, the food
Owners Chris Johnson and Jason Mood spent nine years working together as chef and manager at the Beverly Hills Grill and they had a clear vision of the restaurant they wanted to establish.
It would be one built on regulars.
"Our goal is to do stuff people want to eat every day," Johnson said back in July.
The Meeting House menu — small but brilliant in its variety — makes it very easy to do just that.
"We narrowed the menu down to what people love," Johnson said.
There are seven small plates including Chicken & Pork Belly Tacos, Spiced Calamari and Guacamole. Prices range from $6 to $9.
The salad menu has a half dozen to choose from including a Crispy Calamari Fattoush that I can't wait to go back to try. Salads range from $4 for the The Meeting House salad with bacon, cheddar and poppyseed dressing to $14 for the steak salad with grilled hanger steak, corn tortilla, avocado and blue cheese dressing.
There are nine items on the main menu and each seems to have its own intriguing element to set it apart. The Smoked Chicken Breast for $18 is served on maple-basted spaghetti squash. The Littleneck Clam Linguine is served with braised fennel; it's $16. And the Fish and Chips for $18 are prepared in a Rochester Mills IPA batter.
Although I was extremely tempted by the Wok Seared Pork Udon (another next-time promise), ultimately I went with the Steak Frites for $22. The flat iron steak is served with baby spinach, garlic-parmesan fries and topped with Zip sauce. The steak was juicy and flavorful and perfectly paired with the spinach. And the fries, made in-house, are amazing. Yes, I just used the word amazing to describe french fries, but don't judge me until you've tried them.
The dinner menu — and at this stage the restaurant is only serving dinner — is rounded off with two burgers and three wood-burning oven pizzas. Burgers and pizzas range from $9 to $11.
While we're on the subject of that wood-burning oven, let's talk about the bread sticks. They are prepared continuously throughout the night in that oven and served warm in a little brown bag. Fun? Yes. Delicious? Dangerously so!
The scene
A really great restaurant is more than just the food, and clearly Johnson and Mood get that. They've created a space that invites you to come in and stay awhile.
It's contemporary while being entirely cozy.
The exposed brick and wide windows. The light wood and dark walls. The high ceiling and phenomenal lights. It's certainly come a long way in five months.
"We're thrilled with the way it turned out," Mood said.
The bar area seats 10 and serves beer, wine and five signature cocktails. Bartender Jennifer Tillery describes them as "a new spin on some classics."
I tried the Dark and Stormy cocktail with dark rum, ginger beer and a splash of lime. Delightfully light it's a bit like a liquid version of a gingerbread cookie. It's $10.
And if by any chance you've saved room for dessert, there are a half-dozen to choose from, including a seasonal fruit crisp and a warm cookie served with Ray's ice cream. The flavor changes daily.
Ray's ice cream, located in Royal Oak, is one of the eight Michigan farms and companies The Meeting House uses.
'Come on up'
In July Mood said that he and Johnson want The Meeting House to be a neighborhood place where people come and hang out.
On its first day of business it looked as if the new restaurant is already reaching that goal.
Sitting at the bar, a man got on his cell phone to call some friends.
"Hey, we're at The Meeting House, sitting at the end of the bar. You should come on up!"
The Meeting House is located at 301 Main Street. It is open Tuesday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. They are closed Monday. Call 248-759-4825 with questions. The Meeting House does not accept reservations or call-ahead seating.

Bielema announced redshirt freshman Joel Stave will start at QB this Saturday against UTEP.
A lot of the decision had to do with the fact Danny O'Brien's had 3 turnovers in the last 2 games.
Bielema explains in the attached video.

Who is eligible to apply for this program?
AFI DWW is designed specifically for women who are working in the arts and are ready to seriously pursue narrative directing. Applicants must have a minimum of five years experience in the arts but may not have professional credits as a narrative director. If you have just completed film school, it is to your advantage to take some time and build work experience before applying to the program.
What if I do not have a reel?
Applicants must submit one or two brief examples (narrative, experimental or documentary — 10 minutes or less) of moving image projects that they have personally directed (not co-directed) and that demonstrate individual talent, ability and potential. It can be as simple as a home/consumer video camera in your backyard.
I made a documentary that aired nationally on PBS (or was distributed nationally in theaters). Am I eligible to apply?
Yes. "Professional credits" are defined for the purposes of DWW as a directing credit on a nationally broadcast or nationally distributed narrative (fictional) feature film or television show.
I am not a US citizen. Am I eligible to apply?
An applicant must be a US citizen or a permanent resident (with Green Card) and must reside and work in the United States or its territories during the workshop period.
How many women are accepted into the program?
Up to eight women are chosen as participants each cycle.
Can I just submit my script for consideration?
The full application process must be completed. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
Can applicants apply to the program with scripts they did not write themselves?
The screenplay does not have to be written by the applicant. However, when an outside writer's material is used, all necessary rights must be obtained from the author and submitted with application materials, including the rights to adapt previously existing material. Please include this signed agreement with your application if you are submitting a screenplay by an outside writer - email signed agreement to email@example.com.
I have a writing partner and am interested in co-directing with her. Can we apply as a team?
Yes, the team should submit as co-applicants. Teams have been seriously considered in previous selection processes, but to date no team has been selected.
If I am accepted into the program, what kind of time commitment do I have to make?
The workshop requires a commitment of about eight months. This includes not only the three-week training workshop, but pre-production, production and post-production time for the narrative projects. The three-week workshop requires full-time attendance at the AFI Campus in Los Angeles. The average workshop day is between eight and 10 hours.
Will I be able to continue to work at my job during the eight months?
The hours required during the three-week workshop preclude participants maintaining regular office/work hours. Many participants find time to return to work on a limited basis during pre-production or post-production. However, production schedules are intense and applicants are cautioned that working may not be possible.
What does AFI provide if I am selected for DWW?
DWW participants are provided with camera equipment, a grip-electric package (which participants may choose to supplement through outside vendors), production insurance, use of AFI's SAG agreement, access to AFI editing facilities, classrooms for castings/meetings etc., a screening facility for the film's premiere, a showcase of all eight films to the industry, inclusion in the AFI Alumni network, and the finished film receives distribution opportunities.
Am I required to provide my own crew?
Participants are responsible for securing their own crews. AFI does not provide a pool of crew members but can provide assistance if a participant is having a difficult time locating someone to fill a specific position. An AFI Production Coordinator will be provided for each production.
AFI recommends that each project secure more than one Producer. During the three-week workshop, there are several opportunities to meet AFI Fellows, and participants are strongly encouraged to use Fellows as crew members whenever possible. The role of Producer is often the most challenging position for participants to fill, and AFI recommends that the search begin immediately upon acceptance into the program.
How much money can I raise?
Participants who reside in Los Angeles may raise a maximum of $25,000. Participants who do not reside in Los Angeles may raise an additional $5,000 in support of their productions to cover living expenses (for a maximum of $30,000). Raising the maximum amount allowable is not a requirement of the program. In fact, many successful productions have not raised the maximum amount.
I have access to free edit time at a post-production facility. May I edit my project off-campus?
Although participants are given access to AFI editing facilities, participants may also choose to edit at an outside facility. Outside editing facilities must be approved in advance. Editing schedules are strictly monitored and all participants must screen cuts of their film for evaluation of progress. All projects must picture-lock by the assigned date - approximately 30 days after camera wrap.
May I shoot my project on film?
The workshop experience is structured for all projects to shoot with the camera provided. The main focus of the program is to provide participants with the education and opportunity to explore and learn about the process that a director must go through to successfully bring a short project to completion. The timetable for prepping, shooting and posting DWW projects is extremely fast and is not conducive to shooting on film.
Once accepted to the workshop a participant can submit a proposal to shoot on a non-AFI digital camera.
What happens to my finished film? Does it screen anywhere?
All DWW projects have the opportunity to premiere on AFI's campus in the Mark Goodson Screening Room and will also be featured in a one-night showcase with other DWW projects. After a participant's film has premiered, she may screen her project at festivals worldwide. Submission to festivals is the filmmaker's responsibility. After the film has had its festival run, (generally about 18 months), AFI makes every attempt to secure distribution for the project in a variety of venues. AFI retains the copyright to projects made within the DWW. AFI does not own the characters or underlying story rights.
If I am not selected as a participant, is it possible to take the three- week classroom portion of the workshop for a fee?
The workshop can only accommodate the eight women selected to participate in the program. Interested parties can volunteer to work on the productions in July. This provides an excellent opportunity to gain insight into the program and to make connections with participants and alumnae.
How do I apply for the program?

How can I, or my business, donate money to this essential program?
The DWW could not exist without support from individuals and corporations committed to providing opportunities for women in the arts.
Donations can be accepted via online, telephone or post mail.
Please note "Directing Workshop for Women" in the memo section on all checks to ensure that your donation goes directly to the program.

Motivation as defined by psychology refers to the process that initiates, maintains and guides a goal oriented behaviors. Motivation enables us to act from the smallest thing of getting a piece of paper up to reading and studying. Motivation also involves the emotional, biological, social and cognitive forces that help to activate our behavior.
Motivation is a broad topic or concept of psychology which mainly involves the behavior of the person or animal and how to induce them to act or behave. Motivation is divided into six types. The following paragraphs will discuss each of them.
Incentive is the first type of motivation. This type of motivation involves rewards that can be monetary or nonmonetary. This type of motivation best works in the workplace or organization wherein a person is expected to work or perform efficiently. Monetary incentives include bonuses and thirteenth month pay. Nonmonetary incentives include promotions and medical benefits.
The motivation that is usually referred as the drive to competency is called achievement motivation. People are usually driven to achieve certain goals and faces challenges. This type of motivation is intrinsic in nature and involves improving their own skills in order to prove competency to others. Although this type of motivation is intrinsic, there are circumstances wherein it can be extrinsic. For example, people usually desire to be recognized by other people like colleague or superiors. Awards are best example for this type of motivation.
Fear motivation is somewhat a negative type of motivation wherein it involves consequences or punishments. A person desires to achieve his goals to avoid punishments and consequences. In the workplace, this type of motivation may include demotion, lay-off or salary deduction. It would appear the same for a child who studies hard in order to avoid being scolded by the parents.
Power is another type of motivation that includes the desire for autonomy or desire to have control with others or things around us. Best example of this is politics and military. There are people who join this organization in order to have power over other people.
Growth motivation is the motivation used for self improvement which is considered as a form of internal motivation. It includes a string desire to increase your talents or to simply improve your skills and lifestyle.
The last type of motivation is the social motivation that is influenced by social factors. It includes the desire to be accepted by the society or by a certain group. People always wanted to be part of something that they want. Social motivation also involves following the norms and culture accepted by a certain society.
Remember that there is no single motivation that works for all people. Each person is unique and has his own personality. Most of the time, the motivation of a person depends on his or her personality, environment and behavior.
