In the previous chapter's blog, Stasia mentioned
how her focus was on getting the homework assignment done to get the grade
instead of actually trying to learn the material. I completely understand what
she means by this because I remember doing the same thing throughout high
school. All that really mattered was if I passed the class, so I just had to
memorize the stuff for the test to get a good grade and that was it. Short term
memorization is completely different than long term learning.
The one thing that I really
liked about this chapter was when it started to talk about the differences
between Type X people and Type I people. While reading the last couple pages I
couldn’t help but refer back to my fiancé and myself. I am more of a Type I
person. I work at a daycare because it works with my school schedule and I get
to see my son every day. The money meets my basic needs but intrinsic rewards
are more of a motivator for me. My fiancé has a few intrinsic motivators at his
job but he mainly works there because of the pay. Pink describes Type X people
and Type I people possessing certain behaviors and these behaviors remind me of
us also.
