    Internal motivation, also known as intrinsic motivation, arises from within a person. It is driven by a person's inherent personal values, interests, and desires to engage in a particular activity. For example: a person who studies hard because they want to get into their dream school.

2. External Motivation.

    External motivation, also known as extrinsic motivation, is driven by external factors or rewards that come from outside the individual. For example: someone who studies hard because their parents give them a reward.
