I agree with the "Using your imagination" method...so close your
eyes and start.
Look at the 3 friends that are closest to you....that you
sincerely care about right now.
Now imagine all of them....doing well for
themselves.....studying hard....smiling over their results being
good.....moving forward in life....JC/POLY/UNI.....making new
friends there....sharing new fun experiences.....moving forward
again.....NS(for guys)....searching the job markets....finding a
good job for themselves.....feeling the rush of getting a good
paycheck....being able to provide for their loved ones....starting
a family with someone they love....being in a position to actually
be able to provide a comfortable living for their family....
Now imagine a get together with these 3 friends years down the
road...when you all are 35-45 years old at a kopitiam...or fast
food joint....wherever you prefer...everyone is busy catching up
with each other....sharing their life stories....being excited and
happy for each other that everyone is doing well with their
lives.
Now imagine you....not having any of this....
And imagine them asking you "Hey....why so quiet....tell us
about your success in life also? " ....
And all you can bring yourself to say is "Ummm.....paiseh....My
boss ask me to take your orders...."
Nah. Motivation.
