motivation to study..hmm
-
its quite hard in sg to find and try to so something that u are really interested, unless the demand for it is there.. like in the case of and artist or anything else u can think of..Originally posted by HENG@:for me... from the time i finished my As till last june i didn't want to go to uni, because unis in sg didn't have any courses that cater to my passion. and i also felt that it was a waste of time. i only got the motivation to enroll after i found courses i liked. evr since after O levels, i somehow lost motivation to study, and my A level days were never spent in sch. i guess that was becos i really didn't have interest in what was being taught. so the key to this is that u have to be doing something u like, to be motivated.
so we are back to the interest vs work thing.. pursue what u like? or pursue which ever is well-paid.. -

1) my passion will take me out of sg so its not really an issue
2) my passion happens to be within a high paying industry so most of the jobs pay pretty well. -

got record lows in results
1 week into the new sem,,,,,still no motivation
sian.
at this rate, i might as well quit my course because my grades arent gonna warrant me a job better than a beggar.

Just do your best..sometimes...pushing yourself too hard will result in undesirable consequences....Originally posted by bismarck:i know getting past a sem is fast, but it's getting past a sem with proper results tht is the crux............ -
frankly, it's all in e mind
u just have to do it.. . no choice.. -
Actually, I ain't that much well myself?
I initially told myself that I wanted to SCORE WELL and make it to the U.... But then again....
1st year I told myself STILL EARLY...
2nd year I told myself TOO BUSY.... (no opportunity to strive..)
3rd year I told myself final year liao, no need so 'biah'....
But all in all, I had a group of study mates from the other departments... We all agreed that no matter what, the minimium we should aim for is a piece of 'TOILET PAPER' to support us as a basic stepping stone in the society... And there you have it.... Me in my JOB... It really doesn't matter if I was a scholar or not? Much of what I'm doing today I've learnt POST the Poly days...
One of my study mates was a SCHOLAR... Made it to the U cause he's VERY HARDWORKING.... But when he's in the society (doing accounts), still don't earn as much as I do? (not saying I earn alot but at least slightly more than him?)
~Sigh...~ Life... Sometimes think too much also no use... Only make yourself headache?
