Gate of Motivation....



Assalamualaikum ….and Hello!
Pergh…sejuk betul pagi sabtu ni….solat..mandi dan terus ke kiosk Faruq yang suram untuk membeli senaskah akhbar….(pergh bapak poyo ayat ni bro!)…ok…as usual (walaupun baru jer mula buat macam ni)…I start to turn the paper to the back and reading the sport section…..bola..bola…bola…hurm..bosannya..everything is about…Liverpool, Arsenal…Manchester United (team bola satu ni je yang minat selain Harimau Muda dan Harimau Malaya..)..Then cerita pasal rasuah la…semuanya  negative and honestly…reading  such kind of news make me feel annoyed and I think everyone related in the sport industry should attend religious class or usrah so that they are not just physically strong, but also in term of spiritual aspect..(dah macam ustaz pulak…ni semua sebab tak lepas audition Imam Muda)..Then one news that grab my attention…and I continue to read it until the last word…ok guys…lets check out the news..
Mamat bukti Malaysia boleh…
Mohd Harrif Salleh tampak menemui semangat luar biasa apabila kembali ke negeri asalnya, Terengganu untuk mencatat keputusan terbaik apabila meraih tempat kedua, perlumbaan Peringkat Ke-8 Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) yang berakhir di Chukai , Semalam.
Ok..after reading the news..Mohd Harrif Salleh berkata bahawa semangatnya untuk memenangi pertandingan tersebut terbit selepas dia melihat pintu gerbang sempadan negeri Terengganu  yang harus dilaluinya untuk menamatkan perlumbaan. He said that he had instill the spirit to win over hundreds of “mat salleh” who had participate during the competition. Logically, with a small physical body compared to other hundreds of mat salleh…it will somehow demotivate the athletes. But for him, it is not a big deal.  This kind of spirit actually had to be instill to all our athlete..and it involves the element of motivation. Unlike performance variables like body weight, running speed, and jumping distance, motivation is an abstraction…Motivation actually is like an abstract painting that have different meaning and interpretation…I might said that this painting shows joyful moment and the other might said that it is misery..So…everyone have their own interpretations that build their arguments. For athletes, the existence of their beloved one during the competition like said by Nadea Sukarno (Taekwando athlete..and my classmate who share one same interest..Kpop…SS501)…might burn their spirit to win the competition and some athletes might said that money is everything. Maybe we can said that type of motivation can be divided into spiritual and physical matters.
For Harrif Salleh..i can said that his motivation was derived from his Intrinsic Motivation..why? ..because he said that he want to do the best in front of 10,000 supporters that cheered him along the 5km distance. The support from the local people boosts his physical and mental strength along the way. I think all the supporters should be praise due to their support to local athletes during this competition. I think intrinsic motivation should be emphasize more compared to the extrinsic motivation..Why?..because money cannot buy everything…and it cannot last longer….Compared to the intrinsic motivation…that will give strong impact to the athletes physically and mentally and everyone as the supporters can manifest it.
