Motivation to work?

Posted by United Kingdom mezz on 2011-11-05 19:24:39
Thought Tek would have some thread on it but couldn't find any (sorry if i missed any) bar the one lennzy put about the nfl guy.

Trying to do some uni work, struggling to get motivated, anyone got any good videos to motivate yourself?

bring yourself to the realisation that if you don't get at absolute least a 2:1 then uni has been a waste of time and you won't get a good job.

or that once you've finished treat yourself to a marathon wanking session

except that uni doesnt guarantee you a good job, yes it gives you better chances, but there's plenty of uni graduates that cant find a decent job, just like there's plenty of millioners that barely have a high school diploma.

all is relative in life...

Trust me doing nothing is soul destroying, did it for a year, barely worked, and when I did it was for fucking pennies doing LONG hours of just the shittest work ever.

Uni is great, the work might be hard sometimes and very boring but it's a lot more interesting than sitting there doing nothing, while everyone else is doing something.

(Just ask Mijakz, seriously he's told me he's bored as fuck he's doing what u want to do).

"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: 'If you live each day as if it were your last, some day you'll most certainly be right.' It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something." - Steve Jobs

Tbh a degree doesn't automatically get you a good job, a lot of people go to uni now days.

It's more about who you know tbh.

here in austria its actually this way

you either drop ou of school with 15, go get an accumination (????? can remeber the correct word Lol) somewhere for 3 years, make a final exam after 3 years and then earn shitloads of money

or go continue with another 5 years, dropping out of school with 19-20 then, ready to go to uni or get a better job than with 15.

or, you still continue, get your doctor/ diplom somewhere and start wrokign as an assist/engineer somewhere.


well anyway, you end up being an crack addicted guy at age 20 atleast.
OR
after studying you go to another school, learn teaching, and go get an instant job as teacher, paid 1,7k€ a month.

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
- John Lennon

Feeling the same atm, currently on my "reading week" and it's sunday morning and I've not read a fucking thing. Awful when you have other aspirations which are kind of over powering your current concern.

Whatever you have to do, life is about enjoying your life, having had a good life. This is the most ultimate goal of life, people work so they can earn money to purchase stuff to ENJOY life, i skipped school alot, i have done 2 year longer on my middle school then other people, but i had fun in the years i failed. thats the most important part.

Motivation comes when you do something you like to do. you have to find your own goals on life to find motivation. I found myself in a similar situation and i took a gap year just to find what i wanted to do in my life now im doing such a different career and i'm much happier. i hope it helps

Got to finish something till 23h59... I always had a hard time finding motivation to work for school. Was planning to quit earlier but my brothers convinced me to stay because it's hard to find a job without a decent paper in your fucking hands.

And now... I wish I'd quit, cause I encounter the same problem I always do. Delay my work, then freak out that I won't be able to finish it, be sad cause I want my parents to be proud...:(

it's pretty normal for a sex addict to just latch onto anything with a vagina and boobs and want to hump it, you just consider seeking help mate.

My mentor's at uni are shit, the main guy wants to use my research to publish in journals etc which sounds good but that isn't motivating me. It's really annoying.

Hasn't helped i took out a year to work and my boss at the time is successful without uni :/.

im studying human biology/chemistry/applied science/maths

I watch documentaries about these subjects or read about something in detail and it amazes me how complex things are and want to learn more, that's what motivates me.

It's not even that i need to know it, it's that i want to know more about them.

Out of interest what subject are you doing? Currently writing my first essay, nearly finished it and have another straight after, all the motivation I need comes from enjoying my subject and if I'm not working il sit around til the evening/do nothing productive which is just a waste of time.

If you can't find motivation to do the work for a subject you picked (therefore should enjoy) and pay ~£15k for, gotta ask yourself what you are doing with life.

It's different for me. I'm in my 4th and final year of university, I enjoyed my first 2 years of university then on my 3rd year i took a placement which was working for local government in tourism, i got a taste of what i wanted to do but when I'm a lot older. My boss was very anti academic and he has achieved a lot in the tourism sector and as such been rewarded with an OBE + final year is so much harder and my dissertation is due in less than a month :/

you will only realise the importance of publications after you left uni. I have 8 could have been way more
