Everybody responds and behaves differently to events based on their own personalities. Some people are morning people, god knows why, but they are. Whereas other people like to stay up later because they get more done at night. That behavior is one that is programed to you from birth. If you don’t like mornings, you cannot make yourself like mornings, it’s not going to happen. But other behaviors are learned, based on our upbringing and environment. Our personalities and attitudes and behaviors are built from everything around us along with the things set in us from the day we’re born. But what is it really that drives us, that motivates us?

Since the beginning of time, people have always been fascinated with the mind and why we do what we do. Most seventeenth and eighteenth century psychologists believed our behaviors were based on “mechanistic”. The mechanistic view is basically the theory of instincts.
