because of the anticipated satisfaction they will
get from some reward.The rewards can be
something as minor as a smiley face to
something major like fame or fortune.

comes from inside an individual rather than
from any external or outside rewards, such as
money or grades.

satisfaction in completing or even working on
a task.
