1. Motivation to be the best
Some inspirational quotes and meanings to help us to greatness

2. The definition of motivation
Motivation is defined as the process that initiates, guides and
maintains goal-oriented behaviors. Motivation is what causes
us to act, whether it is getting a glass of water to reduce thirst
or reading a book to gain knowledge.
We as educators need to initiate the learning experience within
our students. We guide them to achieve great things. We help
them maintain goal-oriented behaviors throughout the
educational careers, because when they learn from us, we
can motivate them to achieve greatness.

3. Success
The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted
As an educator, what do you desire for your students? What
have you planned, what will you be attempting?
“He who would learn to fly
one day must first learn to
stand and walk and run and
climb and dance; one
cannot fly into flying”
Friedrich Nietzsche

4. Struggle

-To make a strenuous effort; strive: struggled to be polite.
-To contend or compete; to progress with difficulty
“All life demands struggle. Those
who have everything given to them
become lazy, selfish, and insensitive
to the real values of life. The very
striving and hard work that we so
constantly try to avoid is the major
building block in the person we are
today”
Pope Paul VI

5. Determination

determination."

difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
“You may encounter many
defeats, but you must not be

necessary to encounter the
defeats, so you can know who
you are, what you can rise
from, how you can still come
out of it.”
― Maya Angelou

7. Will Power
-The mental faculty by which one deliberately
chooses or decides upon a course of action
“If you're trying to achieve, there
will be roadblocks. I've had them;
everybody has had them. But
obstacles don't have to stop you.
If you run into a wall, don't turn
around and give up. Figure out
how to climb it, go through it, or
work around it.”
Michael Jordan

8. Greatness

“Be not afraid of greatness:
some are born great, some
achieve greatness, and some
have greatness thrust upon
them”
William Shakespeare

9. Achievement

“Optimism is the faith that
leads to achievement.
Nothing can be done without
hope and confidence.”
Hellen Keller

10. Be the best!!!!!
By being the best, we achieve our
best, we project our best, we
produce our best, and we present
our best to the world.
As educators, and as people,
giving the best effort, no matter
the challenge or obstacle, is
everything that is asked of us. We
motivate ourselves therefore we
motivate others, by being the best
in the world, we can make a
difference in it.
