What motivates you? (1 Viewer)

[sle3pe3bumz]

Have any of you guys actually doubted the thing which had motivated you? Like has it ever actually done bad rather than good? I feel as if my motivation is being brought down by my goals and rather mocking me. =/

Sometimes I feel like this, when I see other people who are much much closer to my goals and dreams than me, and then I feel like whats the point? theyre so far ahead of me.

Then I think dont compete with others just compete with yourself, do your best.

But from now on everything is a competition

Sometimes I've doubted it, but it's never actually failed me. I love competition

Hmmmm. What motivates me? Competition between myself and a good friend (who happens to be a genius). Oh yeah and there's the motivation to get a good UAI. And finish high school. And get into uni . And family expectations. And personal expectations. So yeah.

[FONT=&quot]Hey, I’m just curious as to what motivates you guys..
Right now I’m procrastinating 24/7 and I can’t seem to do any work…I know I should be studying extremely hard because of year 11 and all…but it’s so difficult.[/FONT]

I want to see the face on everyone who ever told me id do shit when i get myUAI and its decent. thats what wakes me up in tha morning

I have three main motivations to do well in the HSC:
1. My cousin, who is in the same year as me at a different school, likes to think she's going to do better because daddy's a rich real estate agent and sent her to a private school. I want to prove the snobby bitch wrong.
2. My dad made some really tough decisions to help me get a good education and I'd like for him to think it will pay off.
3. I want to try and move to Melbourne for university. I want a scholarship to Melbourne uni. One of those ones that you need 99.9 or above to be eligible for. LOL!

I'd like to go to Monash, so that'd be a motivating factor I guess.

 

[van.tango]

Yeah, I think wanting to achieve to a high enough level to be wanted and accepted somewhere interstate is something to motivate oneself. I know it's a thought that keeps me going in my long Maths lesson on Wednesdays.

 

[limbo-gal]

It's kinda sad that I've just sort of accepted that I can't study, it's too late to learn and that I suck at life. Which is, you know, excessively morbid and irrational but I lack any motivation whatsoever.

Basically my attitude is that as long as I'm not failing, I'm doing fine. Also, 'cause I'm at a selective school I keep telling myself that average here is still better than the averages at most schools, which is well, a lie. So I kinda wish I'd fail at something in order to get the motivation to not fail. Make sense...?

All you people with friends/family/enemies to compete against are lucky...

But...Hornsby owns...

 

[Danger]

beating my friend is my greatest motivation

 

[sle3pe3bumz]

knowing that these two years of intense study can give me the life that ive always dreamed of and everything I want, I am able to get. I mean 2 years of your life for a lifetime of joy and happyness has to be worth it right ? Well im trying to convince myself of this & when I fail at it enormously, I then want this life to be over. Oh joy.

 

[limbo-gal]

The whole beating friends thing doesn't work for me since all my friends pretty much do different subjects, I'm already beating them or they are super pro and I have no possible chance of beating them.

As for a lifetime of joy and happiness? I hate to sound spoilt, but as far as I'm concerned I'm pretty damn happy with my life at the moment. I'll be mooching off my parents for as long as I can...
