How Higher Purposes Can Motivate Students in Studying

February 16, 2018 by Nina Gaprioty 1 Comment

Psychology and Criminology personal statement

Most students have a reason for wanting to study, but it depends on what that reason is that is going to determine how motivated they remain. In the beginning of a new semester, students are usually highly motivated to do better. As time goes on, many students loose this drive and motivation, because they do not have a cemented purpose.

If you want to achieve your highest goals, you need to perhaps re-evaluate you reasons. Let’s say you are busy with a psychology and criminology personal statement and half way through you lose your motivation. If you had a higher purpose to keep your motivation intact, you would not stop until it is done. A lot of this is a mind-set change with a combination of an attainable goal. Here is how a higher purpose affect your studies.

7 Must-Read Tips on How To Beat Procrastination

April 11, 2017 by Nina Gaprioty 2 Comments

Procrastinate now and panic later

Most of us are familiar with the term “procrastination”. It is the habit of delaying tasks to a later date that is commonly seen among youngsters today. It is essential to beat procrastination if you want to achieve your goals and improve your efficiency. There are times when you might have a deadline hanging over your head, yet you continue postponing the task till the last minute. By being so, you are not only decreasing your competence by also curbing your productivity.

Instead of wrapping off your work in time, you keep fiddling with unnecessary things such as browsing the Internet, scrolling the screen of your cell phone, checking emails, chatting with friends, gossiping etc. In spite of knowing that you should be working, you keep yourself distracted with unimportant tasks. You should not let procrastination rule your life. You should develop a personal goal statement and learn to accomplish your tasks in time. This makes a great impact in shaping your future and also affects the next generation that follows you as an ideal.

Winners and Losers

Bus waiting at a station

I like to walk around our beautiful neighborhood in the morning. It is one of the things that make me happy. I do it to warm up my body and mind, get my creative juices flowing (into the voice recorder on my mobile phone) and be ready for another great day.

About half way through my walk, when I was already going at a good pace and feeling pretty pumped, I saw a young Chinese woman leaving one of the houses and saying goodbye to a young man standing on the doorstep.

Suddenly, the young woman noticed a bus at a stop about 200 meters away. She became visibly uptight, her pitch rose and she looked like she was asking the young man what to do (as I do not speak Chinese, this is all my interpretation).

The man gestured towards the bus and looked like he was urging the woman to run for it and try to catch it. She kept pleading with him until he joined her and they started running toward the bus stop.

By the time they decided to run and crossed the street, I had been half way to the bus and it was still there. There were no passengers in sight, its doors were closed and it kept waiting.

Hitting Rock Bottom to Succeed

December 14, 2009 by Ronit Baras 1 Comment

At the end of high school, my teen daughter Eden took a personal development course for teenagers and came back very disappointed. In a two days workshop, every speaker talked about hitting rock bottom before finding the light and that light, for some reason, was a way to make money.

She paced back and forth and stormed, “I never see myself not having money for food or sleeping in my car because I have no home to sleep in. I never see myself without a family to support me. All I got from these presenters was that I must get very low if I want to be successful, which means I’ll never be successful. What kind of motivation technique is this?”

I said to her, “I’m sure that’s not what they meant” and tried to convince her to find something she could still learn from her experience, but it was no good.

4 years later, I think this course has done more damage to her attitude than I thought initially (although it may still contribute to her personality and attitude towards life in a positive way).

Winner's cup

“Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us” – Jane Austen

Avoid penalties

May 15, 2008 by Gal Baras Leave a Comment

Motivation, as you may know, has two sides: pain and pleasure. Unfortunately, pain is a stronger motivator. At the same time, being inundated by threats creates an atmosphere of fear and stress. Who wants to live like this? One day, I was standing at the post office, waiting to be served, and in front of […]
