best mentors I've had, as far as in my military career, where he sat me down and [said], “whatever you do here, from now on inside the military, you can't do it by yourself. You are not always right, and someone is always going to be smarter than you.” And it is something I'd heard before, but it’s always been kind of sugarcoated. But yeah, it's those things right there. You can’t do it by yourself. You're not always going to be right. Someone's always going to be smarter than you.

Achievement goals were not intended to answer the question of whether students weremotivated but rather answer the question of why, that is, what motivates their pursuits [13]. Theachievement goals students pursue help shape how they interpret, experience, and engage orwithdraw from achievement-related situations. Understanding students’ goal pursuits is a criticalarea of study because goals exert direct motivational effects on achievement, regardless ofstudents’ prior performance [14], [15]. The original conceptualization by achievement goal theoristsis that three-goal motives explain why students engage in achievement-related tasks: 1
