What is your motivation in life?
-
Everyday when you wake up, how do you keep yourself going in the day's chores?
What keeps you going on in life? What motivates you to do the things you are doing now?
Time and again, I've been pondering over these questions. Till today, I have not found a very conclusive answer. Everyday, day and night, I'm living a life that I'm unsure of where this is leading me to.
Living life up to graduation, getting a stable job and being able to support my parents in the future seems to be the motivation for me after so much thinking. But now, I'm starting to worry and it's getting worse for me as time passes by, one day at a time. Can I graduate successfully with a good result? Can I find a stable and hopefully well-paying job? If I can't find a job, will I disappoint my parents?
I'm by nature a rather shy and anti-social person. I'm very unwilling to take on the burdens of others and have to worry about them when I have my own "worries" to think about. Thus, I don't have much friends. Often, I'm been accused as self-centred and selfish but that doesn't really bother me since I'm so used to it now. I have no looks and definitely no money. Certainly not a guy that would interest any gal. Even though I have ascertained myself that I will remain single, unmarried and be an old, happy bachelor, I do wonder what will become of me in the future. When I am in my later years, sitting in an old dingy chair, what can I hope for? What are the things that I can look back on proudly? I don't have an answer to this right now.
Am I thinking too much? Indeed, this is a comment that I have received rather often as well. I suppose that when I am alone and there is nothing occupying my mind that these thoughts will again flood my mind. Is there purpose in life?
I really wonder.
Thanks for hearing my rants of sorts. Feel free to give your comments. -
Cheer up dude... just think of this: '
As long as you tried your best in whatever you do and with nothing against your conscience and see life as transient.. then no one can say that your life is not meaningful.. at least this is how I see it..
Life is too short for worries.. thats what I always tell myself whenever I start to think too much

My motivation in life is a desire to know more about.......

Good ranting. We all need to lighten up our load once in a while.
No. You are not thinking too much. It's good that you've waken up your ideas.
Now, the reason why you r unsure of what your life is about... that is because you haven't set any long-term goals for yourself. You have no dreams. You have no objectives and passion for anything. Pardon me for being straightforward, but this is the truth. -
My motivation has always been my dreams and the desire to fulfill my purpose on earth.

My dream is to raise up a young generation of children who not only have the right focus on their academics, but also, possess a positive mindset of doing things and attitude in getting things done in a positive way. This would in turn shape the society turning it around.Originally posted by CoolMyth:What is your purpose on earth? -

haha.. yea. No dreams are as big as this. But, I'll do my best. Wish me luck pals!Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Aka teacher or GTO: Great Teacher Osaka -
With what I'm studying now.... a teacher seems to be the most viable route.
But after reading about how kids are nowdays, especially with reports like teenage gals beating people up for no reason today, I'm getting scared of our local kids. -
it's a challenge today facing them. but if u dun learn to overcome this fear, u'll never succeed. i have my own fears too and i'm still working hard on them...Originally posted by CoolMyth:With what I'm studying now.... a teacher seems to be the most viable route.

Hiyah CoolMyth,
My motivation for everyday when I'm working & attending to my files is the weekend, which starts on Fri evening. I always try to clear my work as much as possible, to prepare for an enjoyable weekend with my guy.
Perhaps I was kinda happier go lucky at school, my main motivation was to make sure my family is comfy, I'm comfy. I don't need much anyway... Nowadays, it's more about my guy, & making sure we enjoy our weekends together as far as possible : )

what keeps me going amidst my terrible classes, horrible tuitions, boring church service is the responisibilty i carry on my shoulders. to provide for my family. to be there when my family and friends need me.
if one day they don't need me anymore... well, i'll think about it when it comes. -
haha.. talk about motivation.. im just doing everything i can to take me to the next step.. im rather young and carefree now to think so far yet.. yet.. its also a good start if i start thinking right now. as for now, im concerned about getting an even better score on the SATS and applying for universities, and then from then on, i shall have to decide. the thing is, i don't even know what im going to do for a living. i wouldnt call living my life having to do with motivation, it would be more towards.. natural

To CoolMyth:
Dont you feel lonely when you have no friends?
Sometimes in life, we do things that we dont like to do, but in the end we still have to force ourself to do it. In this world where we have to evolved around the world, its up to u whether u wanna evolved with us or stay your ground and rant, indulge in false hope that there will be people coming to you and pity you.
Motivation in life doesnt comes out of a sudden. I'm sure deep down your heart, you wish to do certain things while that certain things are not within your reach. Try your best, earn enough money or work hard to get to that thing you wish to grab hold of.
Friends are the most important part of your life. They bring in hapiness and sadness. They are there when you need them, and they will also not be there when you are in need of help. Do not presume they will come to you even when you maintain the "cool" attitude. No one likes to be make used. Spare an hour or 2, call your friends, have a nice dinner with them, meeting up for a chat, all this kinda small things help. Down to the point, human cannot escape loneliness.
Dun get me wrong, i'm not here to flame you, but just to tell you this:
If you dun make the effort in life, you will never get the things you wanted. -
Nice advice there.
The problem is though I understand the virtues of having friends, I am pretty much used to doing things alone. When I am alone, I feel at peace and relaxed. The optimal condition I like to experience in life.
I felt sick of all the "friends" backstabbing, personally experienced during army days. Got so bad that I had to make some visits to a psychatrist. For the info, I cannot get too nervous, excited or agitated, or else I'll easily lose control of myself.
Though I've been "discharged" from my condition, I understand deeply inside that this "condition" is still in there somewhat and I have to take great care not to evoke it again. Hence, my desire to be alone, be at peace and be relaxed.
I don't understand myself sometimes. Tried as I might, I still don't. -
