Shakespear

When looking at this quote by William Shakespeare the message that I received is to never put something on hold when you can complete an assignment or task. This can appear in many different ways. The actual definition according to seize the day (Google) is to make most of the present moment. I feel that this quote applies to mostly intrinsic motivation because in order to want to “seize your day” a person would want to have that personal drive to continue doing something in general, even if they become tired at it or want to do it another day. Getting home work ahead of time is a great example of this. If you have the time, the best thing to do is just to get it done and not procrastinate. Truly another day is not guaranteed is also another point that ties in with this famous quote. Therefore simply do all you can in one day without thinking about what tomorrow will hold. With extrinsic motivation used with this quote would be you are just doing something because you know that you won’t there will be consequences. Ex, doing chores right before you’re parents are home, not because you want to but for the reason that you have too. I think that in order to “seize the day” you’d have to have the growth mindset in order to take the challenge because it’s not an easy task to overcome. I don’t believe that a person is born with a fixed mindset that shows they always seize the day.
