One day the little girl&#8217;s mom surprised her and took her to her very first piano lesson. The girl was overjoyed! However, instead of practicing the songs her piano teacher gave her, the little girl liked to make up her own songs, which displeased her mother. The little girl&#8217;s mom wanted to get her money&#8217;s worth out of the lessons, so she made an agreement with her daughter: for every 20 minutes the little girl practiced, she would get three squares of chocolate from a Symphony chocolate bar. At first the girl loved the idea! She loved chocolate more than anything in the world, so of course she would practice the piano to get it! But after a while, the little girl got tired of the piano; she never made up her own songs and she didn&#8217;t want to play for chocolate anymore. So, the little girl quit the piano for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/edt431-531\/files\/2019\/09\/11-1024x768.jpg?resize=508%2C381&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2530\" width=\"508\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2019\/09\/11.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2019\/09\/11.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2019\/09\/11.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.miamioh.edu\/exemplary-science-teaching\/files\/2019\/09\/11.jpg?w=2000 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>She lost her <em>drive.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before being bribed by chocolate, the little girl (who was me) was engaged in what Daniel Pink, author of the book <em>Drive<\/em>, called motivation 3.0, or in more simple terms, intrinsic motivation.
