theories, motivation may be rooted in a basic need to minimize
physical pain and maximize pleasure, or it may include specific
needs such as eating and resting, or a desired object, goal,
state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed to less-apparent
reasons such as altruism, selfishness, morality, or avoiding
mortality. Conceptually, motivation should not be confused with
either volition or optimism. Motivation is related to, but
