'''Motivation''' is the activation or energization of goal-oriented [[behavior]]. Motivation may be internal or external. The term is generally used for [[humans]] but, theoretically, it can also be used to describe the causes for [[animal]] behavior as well. This article refers to human motivation. According to various theories, motivation may be rooted in the basic [[need]] to minimize [[physical]] [[pain]] and maximize [[pleasure]], or it may include specific needs such as eating and resting, or a desired object, hobby, goal, [[state]] of [[being]], [[ideal]], or it may be attributed to less-apparent [[reason]]s such as altruism, [[morality]], or avoiding [[Death|mortality]].
