Importance of motivation and methods in learning (ps. i hope my article could be more academic, thank you for your correction^^) It goes without saying that the motivation and methods are all indispensible to learning. However, it cannot be emphasized the importance of them, though most of us have already knew clearly. On the one hand, as far as I’m concerned, motivation is the base of all. If one doesn’t have motivation in learning, though he knows the best and most efficient methods, he will never use them in practice. It’s like an expensive car with all good details except an engine, which in fact even not could be seen as a car. On the other hand, the methods are as the bridge which will lead us to success. Without it one would hard to find a right access to achievement, or sometimes you will pay twice as much as efforts others paid, but only to receive the half results in return. Taking all the reasons? We may reasonably come to the conclusion that we must pay attention to both of them can we achieve success in learning.
