When a student performs well, he or she is praised for diligence and/or motivation. But when a student performs poorly, blame is put on teachers or parents. Why? If a student is responsible for good performance, why not also be held responsible for poor performance?
Motivation cannot be instilled from outside; it has to come from within. Like morale, motivation can be encouraged or destroyed by others, but it cannot be created except by the individuals directly affected.
