Orientation

There is 3 types of orientation:
1) Helpless orientation, where a person feels helpless like they can`t do anything.  There is two types of helpless orientation
       a)internal attribution, is blaming one self for not being able to solve a problem
       b)external attribution, is blaming an external source for not being able to solve a problem
2)Performance orientation, motivation is based on the outcome.  The danger to this type of orientation is if the outcome is not achieved it makes us vulnerable
3)Mastery orientation, is motivated though our own desire to succeed people with mastery orientation have a sense of curiosity, of self ownership of success or failure
