Low achievers will try to avoid personal challenges or set unattainable goals where failure is a high probability. "In terms of applied sport psy-chology, this motivational model can often be very revealing of problems, particularly those afflicting young athletes." (Hackfort & Spielberger ... can measure it. Set goals that are challenging but have pos-sibility. Set goals that are attainable. Set multiple goals to increase probability of attain-ment. Set goals that relate to you, ones that are personal. Over recent years, considerable attention has been paid to the development of theories and models dealing with participation motivation in sports. "The work deliberate-ly focuses on young athletes and highlights the significance of intrinsic ... to list or classify motivators, and towards an appreciation of the complexities of the process of mo-tivation. "The complexities of the process of motivation are exemplified by the various expectancy-value models which describe personal and environmental variables play their part in determining the relationship between effort, performance, rewards, and satisfac-tion."

- 2572: The Only Truth Existing
- ... should conclude that our existence is a truth, and may be the only truth, that we should find its certainty. From the "natural" experiences of our being, we hold beliefs that we find are our personal truths. From these experiences, we have learned to understand life with reason and logic; we have established our idea of reality; and we believe that true perceptions are what we sense and see. But it is our sense of reason and logic, our idea of reality, and our perceptions, that may likely to be very wrong. Subjectiveness, or personal belief, is almost always, liable for self- contradiction. Besides the established truth that we exist, there are no other truths that are certain, for the fact that subjective truth may be easily refuted. Every person ... the existence for its use. Our experiences from our "natural" existence gives us a bias of all that is true, which is self-contradicting.

- 2573: Relativism: The Tangible Theory
- ... individual? Cultural Relativism, challenges the ordinary belief in the universality of moral truth.

Moreover, our own code has no special status; it is merely one among many. One clear example of this is illustrated in the treatment of women in some countries, against the ... about the danger of assuming that all our preferences are based on some absolute rational standard. They are not. Many (but not all) of our practices are merely particular to our society and our own personal preference, and it is easy to lose sight of that fact. These are the reasons that I believe that Relativism best answers the question, is there a set standard of morals and ethics for all ... individual's well being. Thus, these morals, are for the good of all. However, if a member of the society can break these moral codes and do so successfully, there is nothing in one's personal moral code itself wrong with doing so, except the society instilled guilt that is learned and taught through the generations. And that is exactly it, because morals are created by the community, and there ...
- 2574: I Believe: A Code of Ethics
- ... to know what is right and what is wrong. It is our beliefs on this subject that make up our ethics. And the best way to know what those beliefs are is to develop a personal code of ethics. My own code is one that defies definition by the standards of most of the well known ethical theories. It consists of four simple and straight forward rules, rules that do not ... rule is utilitarian in nature and coincides with the second rule of my code. Serving the greater good, part of the foundation of utilitarian ethics, is a rule that everyone should have in their own personal code. Society is home to all of us. We are all here together. So those things that we do that serve to better society, serve to better ourselves as well. So we should always strive ... serve justice, it should not be obeyed. So this sparks the question "how do I know if a law is just?" The answer can be found in rule number four.
