Talent and ambition alone do not predict who will push on to reach a goal and who will give up when the
   going gets tough.  Why do Wade and Tavris suggest that a crucial factor is whether the person’s main
   motivation is to perform well in front of others or to learn the task for the satisfaction of it?

A performance goal is framed in terms of performing well in front of others, being judged favorably, and avoiding criticism.
A mastery or learning goal is framed in terms of increasing one’s competence and skills.
Mastery goals are more motivating than performance goals because mastery goals result in intrinsic rewards.
Mastery goals lead to persistence in the face of failures and setbacks, whereas performance goals often lead to giving up after failure.
