Motivation has been acclaimed as the best asset of anyone. It is the power of the mind or soul. It can be defined as the power to work hard. There are two types of motivation, and they are external and internal. External motivation depends on the guidance, and counseling of parents, teachers, friends and relations. These external forces often fail to motivate the students, the internal motivation is the best and it should be kindled by the external motivating forces.

Internal motivation depends on the aim and ambition of the individual. It is like petrol or diesel to engine and it provides the students with hope, spirit, strength and fire to inspire themselves towards better learning. Psychologists had proved that “Motivated Learners learn better”

Motivation should always be self and continuous. The self motivation can be strengthened by high ambition, and life –time achievement. Quotations, sayings of great personalities, proverbs, and prayer will certainly empower their inner power.

Motivation especially, self-motivation has become a personality trait. The Biographies of great scientists would help all technical students to ignite their minds to achieve new goals. Former president Abdul Kalam’s biography “Wings of Fire” is the best example. Further the biographies of great scientists like Thomas Alva Edison, who had registered more than a thousand patents for his new innovations in his own life time is a wonderful example. Newton, Einstein and Faraday were all self-made men and excelled in their lifetime by their sheer hard work.
